Hi again,
I tested some more. Jango was right in that it has something to do
with the fm signal being muted whenever it does not receive full
stereo fm. The "stereo" on the display does not light. I once managed
to quickly receive stereo and I heared the sound. But, I placed the
receiver on different locations and it seems that I never can receive
stereo fm for any length of time, which results in the muted sound.
It's a kenwood KRA-4060 and I cannot find a "mono" button on the
receiver or remote control to disable this "muting" behavior. I think
there must be something broken on the FM receiver because it never
receives in stereo, although it can always receive full RDS signal and
a lot of different channels. I think when it can receive full RDS for
a certain channel that the reception must be good enough to also
receive stereo, not? Also the "tuned" light is on which indicates good
reception. It auto-tunes to a lot of different channels. Only never in
"stereo" and because it mutes the sound on mono, I have no sound at
all. I tried a different antenna but still no luck. I really think the
reception is good enough but somehow the "stereo reception" seems to
be malfunctioning. I have a cheap small tower receiver as well on the
same location and this does receive a stereo fm signal.
It's stupid that it mutes all sound to the speaker when it does not
receive stereo... Even more stupid is the fact that I cannot seem to
change this behavior...



The OP says the receiver is getting the RDS display of the channels and
the current aired song.- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven -
