Remedy
• Check that the frequency is correct.
• Check that the antennas are connected properly. For FM, make sure that the antenna
is fully extended and positioned to give the best reception.
For AM, make sure that the loop antenna is pointing in the best direction.
• If the radio signal is weak, an outdoor antenna will usually give better results than the
supplied indoor types.
• Other electrical equipment, such as TVs, fluorescent lamps and motors can cause
interference. Try switching off or moving the equipment, or moving the antenna(s).
• The tuning interval may be incorrect for your country or region. Try switching the
tuning interval (page 68).
• Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive
tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.
• Make sure that you're using the remote within its operating range and that there are
no obstacles between the remote and the sensor on the main unit.
• Check that the batteries are not exhausted.
• Check that the correct function is selected (DVD/CD, etc.), the volume turned up.
• Check that the MUTE function is not on and that the disc is not paused.
• Check that the disc is clean and undamaged (page 69-70).
• Check that all rear panel connections are correct.
• If you find dirty or oxidized plugs/terminals, clean them.
• The Record Mode is switched on. Switch off then adjust as desired (see page 40).
• The cooling fan is not functioning properly and could be broken. Unplug the unit
from the wall outlet and take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your
dealer to carry out repair work.
