Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

Check that the antennas are connected securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if necessary.

The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning.

Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly (when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).

No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (page 19).

RDS does not work.

Make sure that you are tuned to an FM RDS station.

Select a stronger FM station.

The RDS information that you want does not appear.

Contact the radio station and find out whether they actually provide the service in question. If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.

Remote control

The remote does not function.

The DISPLAY button on the remote is available for TUNER input only.

Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver.

Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver.

Replace all the batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak.

Make sure you select the correct input on the remote.

To activate the buttons with orange printing, press TV and the button you want simultaneously.

Before you use the V/v/B/b button for receiver operation, press MAIN MENU. To operate other components, press TOP MENU/GUIDE or AV MENU after pressing the function button.
