Antenna Connections - Yamaha RX-V890 Owner's Manual

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

• Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, 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.

• The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
• The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

For maximum safety and minimum interference,
connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground.
A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into
moist earth.

Notes:
• When connecting the indoor FM
antenna, insert its connector into the
FM ANT terminal firmly.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna to
improve FM reception quality, either
300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be
used. In locations troubled by electrical
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
