Yamaha Home Radio Tuners

Listen to Your Favourite Radio Station on Your Home Stereo With a Yamaha Tuner

You can play all of your favourite local radio stations through your home stereo system with a quality Yamaha tuner. By adding a tuner to your current home stereo set up, you will have access to the AM/FM signal bands, and you can enjoy hours of fresh content. A large selection of Yamaha tuners in new and used condition can be found on eBay.

When selecting a tuner for your home stereo system, there are a few things to consider. First, make sure the range of the tuner is large enough to receive the radio stations that you wish to hear. Second, check the outputs. Most outputs are standard, but make sure that they will connect to your current home stereo with or without an adapter. You can also check to see if the tuner offers any additional amenities such as a remote or programmable presets.

• Sensitivity - This is a measure of how effectively a tuner can receive a radio signal. The lower the number the better.
• Selectivity - This refers to how large the bandwidth is. When set to larger bandwidths, the tuner can properly handle stronger signals, while a smaller bandwidth will allow it to zero in on small points in the radio spectrum.
• Diversity - Some tuners utilize multiple antennas. Diversity is the mechanism of switching between the available antennas to find the strongest signal. Sometimes this is done automatically, other times a manual switch is also available.
• Range - This refers to the amount of the radio spectrum that the tuner can use. It is usually denoted by the lowest and highest frequencies that the tuner can pick up.

Some home stereo A/V receivers have tuners built in. For those without an on-board tuner, you will need to have an external radio tuner to play your favourite radio stations on your home stereo. Yamaha tuners that are available on eBay are great additions to any stereo system, and you can find an affordable one that gives you the sound you want.

A radio tuner uses an internal antenna (or multiple antennas) to pick up a radio signal and decode it into a usable audio signal. It then passes that signal through its outputs to a receiver to process and amplify. Most tuners can utilize both the AM and FM radio band.
