RADIO INTERFERENCE

However, both CD players and DVD players generate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the player off or keep the player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the player and the tuner/amplifier to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.
