Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. Use the manual tuning method.

No sound.

Amplifier FM
There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. A desired station cannot be tuned in with the automatic tuning method. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).
The station is too weak. This unit has been unplugged for a long period. Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. A television set is being used nearby. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all the noises. Relocate this unit away from the TV. Change the position of the main unit.
