Antenna Connections - Yamaha HTR-5150 Owner's Manual

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor
reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or
authorized service center and be sure to
install an antenna that suits your local
conditions.
Install the special FM outdoor antenna in a
high place as far away from any roads as
possible to avoid being affected by
automobile ignition noise.
