CONNECTIONS
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this 
unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient 
signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the 
designated terminals.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
1
Set up the AM loop antenna, then connect it 
to the terminals on this unit.
2
Press and hold the tab to insert the white 
cord into the AM ANT terminal and the black 
cord into the GND terminal. 
3
Orient the AM loop antenna for the best 
reception.
• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit and 
all speaker cords.
• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an 
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
• 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 the nearest 
authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor 
antennas.
Frequency Step (Asia and General 
models only)
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in 
different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP (using the on-
screen display operations) according to the frequency 
spacing in your area (see page 45).
• North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz
• Other areas: 50 kHz/9 kHz
