Please be more specific.

Do you mean that you can't switch to the radio at all? Make sure you have the version 2.0something software, because some of the 1.somethings didn't have tuner support.

If you have 2.0something and you don't have a "Radio" menu on the main menu, then it might be a fault in the assembly. The tuner should be automatically detected and you should get a Radio menu.

If you mean that you have trouble with scanning for the next station, click here.

Tony,
Pardon my ignorance, but was that fixed in the 3.0 alphas? I'm still running 2.0 Final on both my players.

Uh, isn't it under the "Source" top-level menu?

I meant that all the radio functions are in the radio menu once you switch to the radio. I figured he'd found the "Tuner" button on the remote already, and if he hadn't, the links from that FAQ entry would have pointed him to it.

Hi Tony,
the tuner is recogniced, so i'm thinking that i have the problem with the Bug. Will try it with the direct frequency input but have to buy a battery first for the remot....what a shame, i never used it. Thanks for the link to the Button guide. Was searching nearly an hour trough the FAQ's but diden't saw it. I let you know if it's working then.
regards Serge

Thanks Guy's

that did it - it's the BUG. I can listen to Radio now but i'm going to resolder the HF Cable ( like described here in the board ) cause the Signal is not that good as it should.

Many thanks and regards

Serge

In addition to that, also click here and here to read about other things that might cause the signal to be low.
