Indoor FM Antenna Remote Control Transmitter RX-485 RX-300U AM Loop Antenna Batteries (size AA, R6, UM-3) 4 CONNECTIONS ANTENNA CONNECTIONS q q Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. 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. Outdoor FM antenna Indoor FM antenna (included) Outdoor AM antenna 300-ohm feeder FM 75 ANT UNBAL AM loop antenna (included) GND AM ANT 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter PHONO CD AUX TAPE PB Ground Connecting the AM loop antenna * The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit. Orient so that the best reception is obtained. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, eliminating any alterations to the audio signal. When you listen with headphones Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. When listening with headphones privately, set both the SPEAKERS A and B switches to the OFF position. PHONES PURE DIRECT 11 TUNING OPERATIONS Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is possible. However, if signals of the station you want to select are weak, you must tune to it manually (MANUAL TUNING). 3 2 1 AUTOMATIC TUNING MANUAL TUNING 1 Select the reception band (FM or AM) while watching the display. FM/AM 1 Select the reception band (FM or AM) while watching the display.

DOWN TUNING UP To tune to a higher frequency, press the right side once. * If the station where tuning search stopped is not the desired one, press again. * If the tuning search does not stop at the desired station (because the signals of the station are weak), change to the MANUAL TUNING method. * To continue tuning search, press and hold the button. Note If you tune to an FM station manually, it is received in monaural mode automatically to increase the signal quality. Display information FM MHz STEREO 0 20 40 60 l00 Displays the band and frequency of the received station.

[. . . ] In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 17 TROUBLESHOOTING If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. SYMPTOM The unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is pressed. The power to the component connected to the REC OUT terminals of this unit is off. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far or the antenna input is poor. [. . . ]
