Tuner
Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received.
Set the proper band and frequency (page 12).

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