See page 8 for connection information of the supplied indoor FM 
antenna and AM loop antenna.

• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.
• 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, 
install an outdoor antenna. Consult the nearest authorized 
Yamaha dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
