Tuner

Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be received.

Set the proper band and frequency (page 10).

Connect the antenna properly (page 4).

Find a place and an orientation that provide good reception, then set up the antenna again. If you cannot obtain good reception, we recommend you connect a commercially available external antenna.

The supplied FM lead antenna receives signals along its entire length, so make sure you extend it fully.

Locate the antennas as far away from the speaker cords as possible.

Consult your nearest Sony dealer if the supplied AM antenna has come off the plastic stand.

Try turning off surrounding electrical equipment.

A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo.

Press FM MODE on the remote until “FM ST” appears in the display.
