Connecting The Fm And Am Antennas - Yamaha RX-Z11 Owner's Manual

Connecting the FM and AM antennas

Note for U.S.A. customers
When you use the FM/AM tuning feature in the main zone only,
connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna to
the AMTENNA-1 terminals only. Refer to the right column.
Both FM and AM indoor antennas are supplied with this unit.
Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. In
general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength.
Notes
• 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.
