Noisy radio reception

• Antennas are not connected properly.

Check the connections. For FM, make sure that the antenna is fully extended and positioned to give the best reception (See the separate Setting Up guide).

For AM, make sure that the loop antenna is pointing in the best direction (See the separate Setting Up guide).

•The frequency is incorrect. Check the radio frequency.

•The radio signal is weak.

If the radio signal is weak, an outdoor antenna will usually give better results than the supplied indoor types.

• Other electrical equipment is causing interference.

Other electrical equipment, such as TVs, fluorescent lamps and motors can cause interference. Try switching off or moving the equipment, or moving the antenna(s).

Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.

• The radio signal is weak.

Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.

Note: Static electricity or other external influences may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplug the power cord and then plug back in. This will usually reset the unit for proper operation. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center.
