Yamaha HTR-5940 User Manual

Both FM and AM indoor antennas are supplied with this 
unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient 
signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to 
designated terminals.

• Be sure to set the tuner frequency step (Asia and General 

models only) according to the frequency spacing in your area 
(see page 85).

• 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.

■ Connecting the AM loop antenna

 

Repeat steps 2 through 4 to connect the 
other lead wire to the GND terminal.

Once you have properly connected the AM loop antenna to 
this unit, orient the AM loop antenna for the best reception 
when you tune into AM stations (see page 44).

Ground
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.

Outdoor AM antenna
Use a 5 to 10 m (16.4 to 32.8 ft) of 
vinyl-covered wire extended outdoors 
from a window.
