Tuner Woes My denon won't recongize any am/fm stations and all I get is static...any clues as to what i'm doing wrong?

Your tuner sections are shot or maybe the selector switch for tuner has bad contacts. Clean them out. If no result tuner section has died.

There is no module per se. Tuning is accomplished by applying a voltage to the tuner chip and their associated circuits. It needs to be repaired by a Denon service center.

If you are in a fringe area you might need an external antenna to work with your tuner. Happens.

it's obviously getting interferance fronm that whole house broadcast unit (not abnormal!) best and only thing you can do is to move the stereo to a place where you can get the MOST am stations the loop ant. is exactly what it says it is a loop of wire with two ends..both ends connect to the ant. input on the back of the unit..however if that whole house broadcast unit is the devil then an ant. no matter what or how it's made will only recieve more static not built to reject static! so you've got to move it unfortunately ..fm is a totally different band obviously fm isn't being affected by that whole home broadcast unit..you're lucky! on that count

OK,this is a fairly common problem with digital tuners, I get them from time to time in my shop, you see, what is happening is the voltage that's used to tune the set, usual;y stays rock solid, your device however is drifting off station due to this voltage changing, usually it is in the powers supply or the actual tuner itself. It can be bad capacitors, bad IC's, bad transistors, bad tuner module. Sometimes it maybe a "Dry Joint" too.
The only fix is either a replacement PSU or Tuner or indeed maybe both? One simply cannot tell exactly without examining the unit.

You need to take this unit into a Denon repair center and ask for a "Quote" as to costings etc. Once appraised of that one can proceed from there?
Contact a Denon head or local office and ask them there, for a referral to an authorised service center.

These do on occasion have a bad fm tuner assembly. part number 9630145608. to verify try a fm ant to see if works

You didn't say what it was that you were having issues with but it sounds like power supply issues

Hello,

FM ( at least in the USA) only goes 90.1-90.3-90.5 and so on.
This is how stations are separated.
There are no stations on 90.4 or 101.6 and so on

the problem is in your tuner for me it is betwen the IC and the IF transformer. if u cant fix it buy new stereo componet.
