Broadcast stations cannot be
selected automatically. • The antenna is poorly positioned.
• Interference caused by other equipment
(fluorescent lamp, motor, etc.).
• Weak radio signals.
• Adjust the direction and position for
best reception.
• Turn off the equipment causing the
noise or move it away from the
receiver.
• Place the antenna farther away from
the equipment causing the noise.
• Connect an outdoor AM or FM
antenna (see page 24).
Noise or hum can be heard
even when there is no sound
being input. • There is electrical interference from
another component or appliance.
• Check that personal computers or
other digital components connected to
the same power source are not caus-
ing interference.
When a search is performed
by a DTS compatible CD player
during playback, noise is
output. • The search function performed by the
player interferes with the reading of digi-

• This is not a malfunction, but be sure
to turn the volume down to prevent the
output of loud noise from your speak-
ers.
