K2C Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I've got a stereo I bought last year..didnt really use it. Now I re-arranged the room..and I want to use it more. The radio doesn't work..just the cd player. I was looking at the back..and couldn't figure it out, all I had was static. When I put my finger on a jack labeled "FM Coaxial 75"..the radio was crystal clear. I searched online but didnt really get anywhere. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

Alk Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sounds like you need to hook some sort of antenna up to that jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsTaborJet Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sounds like you need to hook some sort of antenna up to that jack. ... other then your finger... and may I quote "When I put my finger on a jack labeled "FM Coaxial 75"..the radio was crystal clear" I'm just bustin' ... good luck. I'm lucky, I always have the man around to handle that type of BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a trip to radioshack will get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just a coax jack, you could probably just hook a piece of spare coax into it and run it out the back a little ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetheelz Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 You have to fix that old school style..grab a wire coat hanger and get some tin foil. It will be good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
