CONNECTIONS

CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/
or the speakers.

• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be
heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Also,
refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

• Use the RCA type pin plug cables for audio and video components except speakers.

y

• The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low­output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO
jacks.

• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to
the GND terminal for some record players.

ground is a metal stake driven into
moist earth.

Notes

• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.

• If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.

• To minimize interference from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.

• Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.

• The antenna should be placed at least 2 meters from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

Automatic preset tuning

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to
automatically store FM stations. This function enables this
unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong
signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5
groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You
can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the
preset station numbers where they are stored.

Notes

• Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared
when you store a new station under that preset station number.

• If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8),
automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all
available stations are tuned into and stored.

• Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored
automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you
want to store is weak in signal strength, try using the manual
preset tuning method.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (EUROPE MODEL ONLY)

Receiving Radio Data System stations

Radio Data System is a data transmission system used by FM
stations in many countries. The Radio Data System function is
carried out among the network stations.
This unit can receive various Radio Data System data such as PS
(Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text),
CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks) when
receiving Radio Data System broadcasting stations.

■ PS (Program Service name) mode

The name of the Radio Data System station being received
is displayed.

■ PTY (Program Type) mode

There are 15 program types to classify Radio Data System
stations.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (EUROPE MODEL ONLY)

Notes

• Do not press FREQ/TEXT until a Radio Data System indicator
lights up in the front panel display. You cannot change the mode
if you press the button prior to this. This is because this unit has
not finished receiving all of the Radio Data System data from
the station.

• Radio Data System data not offered by the station cannot be
selected.

• This unit cannot utilize the Radio Data System data source if
the signal received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT
mode requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the
RT mode may not be displayed even if other Radio Data System
modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.

• Radio Data System data may not be received under poor
reception conditions. In such cases, press TUNING MODE
(AUTO/MAN’L MONO) so that the AUTO indicator
disappears from the front panel display. Although this will
change the reception mode to manual, Radio Data System data
may be displayed when you change the display to Radio Data
System mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference
during the reception of a Radio Data System station, the Radio
Data System data service may be cut off suddenly and
“...WAIT” will appear in the front panel display.

PTY SEEK function

If you select the desired program type, this unit
automatically searches all preset Radio Data System
stations that are broadcasting a program of the required
type.
