not that I know off. Have you checked all the connections and the settings on the remote?

My problems with this model started about a month before it was 2 years old. The HDMI inputs started acting weird. For some unknown reason, 2 of them have stopped working, and today, static started coming out of the speakers. very frustrating...

No, no problem with that. Blue ray player messes things up sometimes though.

I just purchased this radio and it has been dropping the wifi signal as well. The network signal shows blue so I'm assuming from miket's post that there is a problem with the radio connecting to the squeezebox network. Funny thing is though I have a squeezebox boom as well and it never has problems connecting like this one does. I think there is something wrong with these radios and from the reviews I have read it seems to get worse over time. I think I will send mine back as well and just get another boom.

No. Which is unfortunate. And the radio stations have to reset themselves it seems each time turning on. It did not have an instruction manual. Did you get any instructions?

Hi, I had ordered 4 of these radios and had to return one for the same reason you describe. You may just have a bad one. All the others work perfectly and simply . . . Just turn it on. Be sure you are setting the ON switch to the middle position. It takes about 2 or 3 seconds till you hear the broadcast. Be sure the volume is adjusted high enough on the left side. If nothing works, return it.good luck!

Thanks for the post I had the problem and with your help the FM came up again. Will watch for the pause button the next time. Was close to throwing it into the trash

Hi Jason - I have noticed that it displays the radio song and artist (not xm related) sometimes. Every so often it just shows the radio station on the display instead of the artist name and song.

AM/FM reception on my stock antenna (Ram 1500) was fine on all channels. Switched to the stubby and the only channel I had reception on was a local LI station and even that had a significant amount of static. Left the radio tuned to that station, switched back the the regular antenna and the signal was crystal clear.

I have not had that problem. Check and make sure your Lithium battery is good. My first radio is still working fine. But I ordered a digital radoe to up-grade. That one would NOT shut off. So I replaced it and it works well. I know, not much help. Sorry

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

Mr. Kung, I think you may have a problem with your system. Each of my stations follows the other without any delay and that is the way it is supposed to work. It has been a very good unit for me. You should call them and explain the problem. I am sure they will have you return the unit and replace it with a new one. I apologize for being flippant.

Since I've only listened to FM,I had not listened to any AM stations, but tried a bit since you inquired. I was able to pull in AM stations, but I'm not well versed on AM stations in my area my test wasn't very satisfactory. I did bring in some and they were ok. Hope someone else can respond to this issue better than I've been able to. I do really really like my Sangean PR-D9W radio. I compared and conducted quite a lengthy research marathon before purchasing. Good luck!

We have the same problem, despite having isolated which band was best for our location. It seems that doing the auto search function will sometimes solve this issue, which appears to have something to do with compression cutting out a weak signal. The only real solution I've found is to keep them on the stage very close to the performer, fresh high quality batteries, and check the frequencies often (right before show etc...)

I have exactly the same problem with my radio, which basically renders it USELESS in my area. They should warn customers before hand that this is the situation. Send it back for a refund if you can.

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.

Your radio needs to be tuned to a station that carries the imbedded data. I lost power one time and the radio lost time and date. The radio updated over night. Provided you are tuned to the correct station it should return.

Rob.. Send it back for replacement. These radios have a few manufacturing issues but once you get a good one there are no issues. The volume on mine is strong and loud.. It's not to be compared with a boom box volume but plenty loud for a single speaker radio as it should be. Only other issue that they all suffer from is that the smaller controls have a slightly loose feel. For the price the 450 is a much better radio than the newer Field branded radio from Eton. But really...send yours back and get a replacement

I see the entry below and wonder why. So far I've had an excellent experience with my unit. I bought it all and didn't really need the FM booster. Still, puts out sound like a full sized unit, in my humble opinion. Would I do it again? So far, you betcha'!!
