How does one tune FM stations in FM mode? I'm only hearing signal sound....but have not found a station. I can received station on a similar device.

If you plug in the mic cord into the "line-in" jack, it acts as an antenna. Pressing the 2 next and previous buttons will change the stations, and holding them in will change the volume.

I don't know. I only was able to get radio stations (which how I got them I don't know) and not anything else. When my kids get home I will ask them if they can do anything with it. I PLAYED with the buttons and found a station (don't ask me how though) I liked but it is okay for sound quality but only ok. I won't buy any more.

Yes. Have not heard clear sounds from any stations. Wondering if this is a signal problem or else the device have some issue. Not really using this device at this point.

Hi Kazai, i have the same question. Did you ever find out if you can put the recorded Fm files on your computer? I've had one of these for years and have not been able to figure out how. sharphoto

You will have to download a I tune to mp3 converter. Then you should be all set.

Yes, I'm happy with it, but I only listen to one FM station. Sometimes it depends on where you position your player. If it does not work in one part of the house, try changing location. Or try moving the antenna in different directions.

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website.I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.

One thing I can add to the other excellent advice given here is - after you press the MW/LW button, press the ETM button. This excellent feature will scan across the AM band and store found stations which are then accessible by slowly dialing the tuning a click at a time. Enjoy!

Sorry - I can't help. On both radios the FM and AM antenna hook ups are separate and I have it only hooked to the FM port. There may be a connector that allows this for both frequencies.

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

I've downloaded the manual, read the specifications, and nowhere do I see an indication that AM radio is offered. There is no AM/FM toggle mentioned, or a Band control. If someone has used this unit and had AM reception, please post here and mention which control on the radio allows access to AM.

I just ran through the SW bands again - it is now 9:30ish pm ET and I got 25 good stations. Either my location is better, or my radio is just a lucky example and the quality control was not good. My USB and SD card slots work - both in stereo. I am sorry yours isn't performing as well.

You can, but the device would not tune to a station the second time I tried it. It was useless

Just tried and it looks like hd radio only but it defaults to the regular fm radio station if that makes sense?

You would need to pick a station that is the most optimal for reception. Here, live 106.7 is really bad on my car - I can only hear just a faint, but 105.9 (unused station) did it for me. Now it sounds really clear without any humming noise during intermission.

I think you can but I was unable to find a clear "empty" FM station. When using this, I could always hear background noise, static, etc.

In my experience that shouldn't be happening. I was always able to pick a station on the FM band, match it on the digital readout, and pipe my iPhone through the car speakers. On intuition rather than science, I picked low powered stations (88.7 or 90.2 for example) rather than powerhouses and had good fidelity.

Someone please help. I just bought my Zune 500 Kicker today. Sound quality is awesome. However, I can not get the radio (FM tuner) to play through the speakers. What am I doing wrong? I have even tried setting it to the FM tuner before docking it on the kicker and it still won't play the radio.

Agreed - this is by far the most selective and sensitive analog FM tuner I have ever seen. I have two and disabled the HD switch on one of them, and I think it's actually quite a bit better sound. The digital signal is noise-free, but so is FM for the most part, and the full analog signal is much more accurate than the compressed, relatively-low-bit-rate HD radio signal.
