Connecting The Fm And Am Antennas - Yamaha RX-V659 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
• Be sure to set the tuner frequency step (Asia and General
models only) according to the frequency spacing in your area
(see page 91).
• 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.
