Trouble with FM reception, Sony STR-D857 AV receiver
Greetings. I bought this unit refurbished and have had great luck with
TV, CD and DVD sound but cannot get the FM to work no matter what I use for an antenna. It just scrolls around and around without finding a station. Does anyone know any possible answers (short of the FM being broken) that I can look into? A switch or setting perhaps? Thanks |

Thanks Have you tried setting the FM receiver to "manual" rather than "auto", then putting in the frequency of a known strong local station ? With the tuner set to manual, with most models the squelch is permanently lifted, allowing you to hear if there is something there but very weak, something there but very distorted, or nothing there but noise.

Thanks Well, the temptation is to say "It is brokend", but... Check the antenna connector (coax, right?) and make sure it is not damaged. Some connectors when used with RG-6 tend to get the center contact spread apart a bit more, then when you switch back to RG-59 (which may have a smaller diameter) the center contact doesn't make a connection anymore. I've seen this several times. |
