captpierre Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Have a typical built in Sony Marine Radio for music/ news. Came with the boat. Turns on and everything but no sound with the radio setting. Nothing. No matter how much I crank the volume. Couple years now. When I plug in the iPod into the aux port I get great sound. I'd like to fix that. Any idea what I should do? Thanks. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captpierre Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's like a car radio. It has an antenna and it seems to be hooked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCutcheon Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I guess the next question would be, have you checked to see if there is a separate selection tab or button to switch from the external IPod or Aux. port to just AM or FM?

wormdunker Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is there an inline fuse on the wire that powers the radio? Check there first. Any loose wires dangling down behind the radio - such as a ground wire? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 How old is the radio? Unfortunately, radios do not last that long in a marine environment with all the moisture. Thankfully, they are fairly cheap these days. A decent unit can be had for 150 bucks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I suspect the attenna to be the culprit. Does the tuner keep searching for a channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captpierre Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Checked all the wires. All solidly connected. The tuner doesn't search. Not even a bit of static when volume turned up with tuner on. I suspect it's a problem in the unit itself. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
