Troubleshooting

 

 

 

Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be

 

received.

 

• Set the proper band and frequency (page 13).

 

• Connect the antenna properly (page 7).

 

• 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.

 

• Try turning off surrounding electrical equipment.
