frozen by an external electric shock (such
as lightning or excessive static electricity)
or by a power supply with low voltage.
Speaker cables are short-circuited.
This unit is too close to the digital or high-
frequency equipment.
The video source uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent dubbing.
The internal temperature becomes too
high and the overheat protection circuitry
has been activated.
Cause
The characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts may cause this problem
when the transmitter is too far away or
the antenna input is poor.
There is multi-path interference.
The signal is too weak.
This unit has been disconnected for a
long period.
The signal is weak or the antenna
connections are loose.
