Tuner
Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received.
• Set the proper band and frequency (page 14).
• Connect the antenna properly (page 8).
• 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.
• Keep the antennas away from the system and
other components.
• Consult your nearest Aiwa dealer if the supplied
AM antenna has come off the plastic stand.
