Indoor FM antenna (included) or Outdoor FM antenna AM loop antenna (included) TUNER GND AM ANT 750 UNBAL FM ANT AUDIO GND Ground (GND terminal) For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the antenna GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

  • A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
  • If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.
  • To minimize interference from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.
  • Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
