Unsuitable aerial
0 of 1 found this helpful You cannot expect Hi-Fi from a box with small speakers such as this, but connecting it to an external amplifier produces good results.
But a single extendable "straight up in the air" radio aerial is always dodgy at the best. It can produce noise and hissing according to the presence of nearby people or metallic objects, and attaching external devices (e.g. my amplifier) can also produce the same effect.
A decent radio receiver requires either a dipole, or a decent earth, but here there is no provision for an external aerial. By fitting a socket for an external aerial myself, it made a marvellous difference, and I could pick up umpteen stations that were not audible before, and it then worked fine with my amplifier.

Bad interaction with connected equipment.
1 of 1 found this helpful I was driving this from a Sony Boombox. But unless the cable (stereo to phono) connecting it it screened, or has a ferrite bead around it, it sets up oscillations which ruin the sound.
Also, when the Sony box it using its radio aerial, all sorts of interactions occur, depending on how close, and at what angles, the two boxes were placed. I tried screening the amplifier with aluminium foil, but no improvement, so I concluded the problem lay with the Sony's aerial, and when I fixed that, it worked fine and produced acceptable quality of sound.
But beware! The company selling this product puts a Union Jack over its picture, but it is actually located in China (though reading its Instruction Manual in "Chinglish" can provide some amusement.
