The tuner volume suddenly went mute, then after a minute it resumed. This seems to happen occasionally.

Under the TUNER SETUP menu, is the AUTO FREQUENCY option active? You may be experiencing broadcast station dropouts. When the broadcast signal drops out, the volume is muted and AUTO FREQUENCY activates, scanning for alternate broadcast frequencies and then verifying that the station ID is an exact match. If the station ID matches and the alternate frequency is a stronger signal, then the tuner switches to the alternate frequency and turns off the volume mute. Otherwise, auto frequency scans for another alternate frequency and repeats the procedure. If there are a lot of alternate broadcast frequencies, this process can take a noticeable amount of time. To stop this behavior, simply turn off the Auto frequency option.
