plug in the headphones. they double as your antennae. you wont be able to use the speaker for radio but it works well with the headphones.

you must read the directions thouroughly. and understand the controls (each individual button). unfortunatly this is the only way to learn, thru trial and error. I especially had difficulty in setting pre-tuned stations (FM or AM) and having them remain in the device's memmory! Setting this device can be crazy as the directions are awkward to understand and navigate. My advice is to play with the radio and work things out through trial and error..

You didn't say what's not working. Is the radio completely dead including the panel light while using new batteries or using the power cord? Check all the switch positions on the radio and make sure you didn't change any positions. If all else fails, I would return it for a new one. I am very happy with mine.

Just radio mode doesn't work? If yes, I don't know. If no & you are on battery, check battery polarity& age. If one is weak, radio will stop working. Hope this helpd

My advise? Return the item ASAP. Mine was also damaged but since I'm using it outside the US I took a chance and repaired it. It has been a nightmare, it is just not working properly and I've spent over $200 USD in repairs so far.

Try to return the radio. Mine is dysfunctional as the SD port and the CD player have not worked since day 1. It's poorly built and not worth the headaches. Save some money up and purchase a higher quality radio. BOSS=Poor quality

Find a Chinese interpreter or learn Chinese, the Degen products are absolutely awful and you'll actually buy 3 of them before you figure out you'll never get a satisfactory answer to your questions from Degen. After my 3rd Degen purchase, I was absolved of all sins when someone recommended this radio which is similar but performs much better and has instructions in English.

There is a way to reset the unit. Check the FAQ on web site. Then set up the radio from scratch. It gets easier the more you do it.

My USA630 has problems with the USB also. The radio will play a while and then lock up with an error 01-100 (or something like that). Sometimes just shutting the unit off for a few seconds will make it work again for a little while but at other times I have to remove the USB and leave it off a while before replacing it. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I plan to get rid of the unit completely this winter. This is a replacement for the first one and it's not worth the aggravation.

Dear Mr. Bishop. If you can receive the station on your PC it will work on the radio. I tried it in germany - but there are regional restrictions. I added a station from austria - and it was quite easy. Best Regards, So it will depend on your location.

I own this unit and live in the USA so whatever that is, it works here. There are virtually no instructions or directions!! Good Luck.

Larry, Did the radio ever work? If it did and you haven't changed or moved anything...the unit is defective. If the radio has never worked, but the CD player is working...again the radio part if the unit is probably defective. I say "unit" because that's the way a repair technician will consider it...it's not cost-effective - labor wise - to repair. You can follow the warranty provisions, if still valid, or discard it. I'm a tech, and I doubt I could justify my time to repair my own Sony. Today's electronics are MOSTLY considered "throw away" items by the manufacturers.

I can't help you. I gave the radio to my wife as a gift ... which she took to her office ... so I don't have the experience to respond.

Can not give you any guidance about making the radi work. I purchased this radio because I wanted to get international stations and also use attaching a USB drive to play music. Could not make radio nor USB drive work. I contacted seller about returning item. They were very nice about the whole thing. Refunded the money (can't remember if all or partial refund) and actually asked I keep the radio, since I told them I would donate it to a local chairty. I was surprised by the incongruence between my experience and the positive reviews. I donated the radio and have not purchased a new one, so do not know what to recommend instead.

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

I never used the radio. I didn't try to configure it.Maybe the user's manual will help you. Sorry.
