Antenna Connections - Yamaha RX-496RDS Owner's Manual

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminal(s) correctly, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are supplied to this unit. In general, these antennas will 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.

troubled by electrical interference, a coaxial cable is
preferable.
