Dewalt DSCN1360 tuner problem

When you push the auto scan button on a radio tuner, the tuner will automatically scan through the available frequencies (also known as a "band") and stop on any station that it finds. The radio will then display the frequency or channel of the station and allow you to listen to the broadcast. The process of auto scanning can vary depending on the specific model of radio tuner that you are using, but in general it is a quick and easy way to find all of the available stations in a particular band. Some radio tuners may also allow you to save the stations that you find during the auto scan process, so that you can easily access them in the future without having to rescan.

I would suggest changing the CR battery that is located in the back of your radio first. If this does not fix the problem I would suggest clicking the link attached to locate your closest Factory Service Center. DEWALT com

That depends on how your TV is set up for radio reception.

Some TVs have a dedicated FM/AM radio tuner. This requires signals from both forms of radio antenna.

More commonly now though, digital TV includes a wide range of radio stations broadcast as part of the TV range. In the UK, the radio stations are grouped in the 700+ channel range. e.g. 701 is BBC Radio 1.

The system does have a remote (at least it should come with one if purchased new), and you need it to control pretty much everything. Here's what the manual says about the radio tuner (you can find the whole manual here) :

Manual Tuning
1. Connect the FM aerial and the AM loop antenna at the back of the unit. Rotate the AM loop for
better reception.
2. Press TUNER to enter TUNER mode and toggle between FM and AM.
3. When the FM station broadcasts Stereo sound, ST is displayed.
4. Tune a station by pressing repeatedly the TUNER+/- buttons until the desired station is found.
Alternatively, you can press and hold the same buttons down for about one second to activate
the automatic search function. In this mode the player will automatically tune frequencies until
it finds a station.
5. Repeat step 4 to tune to another radio station.

Storing radio stations
The player can store up to 30 radio stations in its memory. You can enter every single radio station
yourself or the player can store all available radio stations automatically in ascending order.
Automatic preset programming
1. Press TUNER to enter the Tuner mode.
2. Press and hold TUNER down for 3 seconds to start automatic preset programming.
Note: A weak signal can affect the "Automatic preset programming" function's efficiency. Adjust the aerial for better
reception and a more efficient search.
3. Radio frequencies will be browsed and radio stations stored automaitcally. When all the available
radio stations are stored or all 30 memory locations are full, the auto preset programming
function will stop.

Manual preset
1. Tune to a radio station (see "Manual tuning" for details).
2. Press MEMORY once to enter flashing Preset Loaction number.
3. While the Preset Location number is still flashing, input your desired preset number (1-30) using
the numeric buttons or press the CH+/- buttons, then press MEMORY to store it.

Retrieving preset stations
1. Press TUNER to enter the Tuner mode.
2. Press CH+/- to search up or down for the preset stations or directly press the numeric buttons.

As you see, you really need that remote. The same is true for disc play. While there are front panel buttons for play/stop, disc skip, and drawer open/close, you don't have any other control without the remote. Without the remote control you'll find this system won't do too much, unfortunately. If you bought this new, check the packing material before you throw it away to make sure the remote's not still somewhere in the box. They often come tucked into slots on the foam inserts.

Also, when you hook the unit to a TV, it's just using the TV as a video display device. The TV has nothing to do with any of the system's other functions.

I hope you have luck locating the remote! Thanks for using Fixya.

You can't, without an external HD set top box connected via the recorder's inputs. HD is not a standard digital tuner format for this or any model Panasonic DVD recorder that I am aware of. Panasonic do not offer a way for the user/owner to skip the HD channels (which cannot be decoded) in these units. You can only skip analogue channels in VCRs/DVD recorders (which feature an integrated SD digital/analogue tuning system) - stupid really. It just means you need a separate box to get all the available HD channels through the unit.

Yes, 7mate (channel 73) is HD (but it isn't specified on their website or in the EPG) as is Gem ( channel 90) and of course One HD.

I assume your machine has a built in SD digital tuner.

This may help: If you take off the front of the radio (don't forget 2 screws in back!) you will notice a set of black and red wires running from the 2 AA backup batteries to the digital display circuit board. The wires plug into the board with a little white plug. If you unplug this the display will fade to nothing. If you plug it back in it will display an unset digital clock format. This seems to reset the radio, after which it should work.

There are two main areas to look at, one is signal strength. Many units have a threshold that is will allow stations to be selected. if the signal is weak, the tuner will not stop there.
The other common issue is Genra selection. If you have selected Rock, and the station that you want has listed something else, that will stop tuner from stopping on that station.

1. Select the Radio Station you want to save.
2. Press and hold the Memory button that you want that station on, 1, 2, 3, 4.
The display will flash the station number, when it stops flashing, the channel is set.
