Questions and answers
I've connected up the loop am aerial but there is no signal. FM is fine Can you suggest how to tune into am radio?
To tune into AM radio on a Linn Classik:
1. Ensure the antenna is connected properly.
2. Press the MODE SELECT or appropriate source button to switch to AM mode.
3. Use the TRACK INDEX or tuning buttons to search for stations.
4. Adjust the mute threshold if needed by pressing and holding the SIGNAL button on the handset. Set it between 1 (receive all signals) and 50 (receive only strongest signals).
This allows you to scan and tune into AM radio stations.
