CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. 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.
English Connecting the indoor FM antenna Connecting the AM loop antenna 1 2 3 2 1 3 Orient so that the best reception is obtained. * If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit. * 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.
CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER ● ● Before making any connections, switch OFF the power to this unit and the amplifier or other component. Be sure that the connections from the left (“L”) and right (“R”) LINE OUT terminals are connected to the corresponding (left and right) input terminals of the amplifier or other component. ● If you have a YAMAHA amplifier whose terminals on the rear panel are numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS TX-492RDS only English In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (The procedures from page 13 to page 17 are not necessary.) RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.
Program types in the PTY mode NEWS News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. AFFAIRS Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis.
