There is severe hum or noise. (TUNED or STEREO flashes in the display) Set the proper band and frequency (page 19). Connect the antenna properly (page 10). 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 an 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. Set CD power manage function to CD POWER OFF (page 20). A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo. Press FM MODE on the remote repeatedly until MONO disappears in the display.

The record/playback heads are magnetized (see Demagnetizing the tape heads on page 49). There is excessive wow or flutter, or the sound drops out. The capstans or pinch rollers are dirty (see Cleaning the tape heads on page 49). Noise increases or the high frequencies are erased. The record/playback heads are magnetized. (see Demagnetizing the tape heads on page 49).

Troubleshooting 45GB
