Connecting The Fm And Am Antennas - Yamaha RX-V359 Owner's Manual

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the FM and AM antennas

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 the
designated terminals.
Notes
• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from 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.
• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
Outdoor AM antenna
Use a 5 to 10 m (16 to 32 ft) of
vinyl-covered wire extended
outdoors from a window.
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.
