may cause this problem when the transmitter is
too far away or the antenna input is poor.

Check the antenna connections.
Try using a high-quality directional FM
antenna.
Use the manual tuning method.

There is distortion,
and clear reception
cannot be obtained
even with a good FM
antenna.

Adjust the antenna position to eliminate
multipath interference.

equipment.

Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This
will help somewhat, but it is difficult to
eliminate all noise.

A “humming” sound can
be heard.

The volume level is low
while playing a record.

The record is being played on a turntable with an
MC cartridge.
