luoxy Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 This may sounds stupid. The yamaha rx-v357 a/v receiver has FM/AM/Ground connectors. An AM loop antenna, an indoor FM antenna are included. The Am/Ground connector sit side by side as if they are some how related. Since there is no AM radio programme in Sg, I don't think i need to connect the AM loop antenna, am i right? But how about the Ground connectors, should i just leave it un-connected? As for the FM, i can either connect it using the included indoor FM radio or connect it to the FM socket on my HDB wall, am i right? Advices plz.....

benzx Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 FM wall socket typically gives better reception Made hell of a difference for me (sengkang area) after I bought a $5 antenna to connect to wall socket.
DIRTRUN Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I don't know of your model AVR but my 520 uses the same connector for rg6 , used by astro(Mal. satt. dish/decoder). Just get that and a female/male( I forget which one) Rf plug, Belden 1694a , DIY cable and plug into your wall common/shared TV aerial ; splitter if neccesarry and you have got the best FM in the house already, hehehe Regards. Dirtrun

luoxy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 can the Ground connector could be left un-connected without any safty issue?
DIRTRUN Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 can the Ground connector could be left un-connected without any safty issue? No problem one loh
dethangel Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 What etnt says is true ;D ... i'm now suckered to getting 1 set Anyway... if you're still after a good antenna. (if the "good antenna cable" option fails) 2 solutions for you: 1. Magnum Dynalabs ST-2. (Using this indoors placed near a window and it rocks) 2. PX Antenna IA-300. Cheapo solution but it does its job marvellously. Available @ Sim Lim Tower for a meagre $25.
