Tuner
Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received.
Set the proper band and frequency (page 12).
Connect the antenna properly (page 6).
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 until “STEREO” appears in the
display.
