I have a dcb242 DAB radio docking station and it recently stopped making noise! It's like I've pressed a mute button, everything seems to work but no sound comes out. I don't know if I've just pressed a button or whether there's actually something wrong with it?!

This is SwannerX and I have solved the problem by locating the DAB radio receiver to a higher position ( some 6ins. higher only ) and orienteering the aerial in an opposite direction.
All 25 stations now tune O.K. and signal quality still reads in the high 90's and signal strength shows 9-10 bars. This is not substantially any more , but it has done the trick!!!
I am still very puzzled why it would not work again in the original position where it has worked well for many years.
Obviously DAB requires a good strong signal as I am living very close to the transmitter at Mounteagle in the Black Isle and the set is upstairs in the house to achieve the highest signal into the set's whip aerial.
Another annoying query I can give you is this :- Every time I do a full AutoTune operation on the DAB receiver , it ALWAYS comes ON tuning BBC Asian 1st. so that station comes up as a 'Favorite' on the Radio's screen. No matter how many other stations I select and listen to for at least 20secs. say, the BBC Asian one STILL is listed as a FAV.
Is this a peculiarity of the Sharp design or a function of the transmission system?
Maybe this BBC Asian is on the first freq. the DAB Radio scans, but I would have thought it would come ON every time with the last station which was selected before it was switched OFF.
What do you think ???

I have this radio too and from what I have read in a review on amazon suggests alarm does not tune to DAB only FM - very annoying! Contacted Goodman customer care and they suggested it was a problem with a component but maybe it is just the design.

hi there
just bought same product - had trouble initially but friend told me to find fm station with the most static then tune device to that. save station on both device.
not all that impressed with device although it does work better at night - clearer signal perhaps.

SOURCE: I have lost he instructions for my Ministry of Sound hi-fi with docking sysytem and don't know how to tune the dab radio...can anyone help?

plug it and with power on but don't turn the station on, leave it in standby mode. then press and hold mem/set on your remote. then set the hour and press mem/set to move onto the minutes. when done press mem/set again and your time is sorted.

This is not a solution but a suggestion - My Dad has this Hi-Fi and also has the same problem, unfortunately his warranty ran out 6 months ago. So, because of this I opened the stereo up. Inside there is a little (4in by 3in approx) PCB at the bottom back of the Hi-Fi above the CD section. This PCB is the tuner board. On this board there is another board (hybrid) with a BGA (Ball Grid Array) chip. BGA's sometimes lose connections between the pads on the board and the contacts under and on the chip. I am away in Germany for a little while but in 3 weeks when I visit my Mum & Dad again I am going to take the tuner board out and take it to work where we have a special heat gun for lifting surface mount chips. I am going to flux and reheat the BGA chip to reflow the joints under the chip. I am a Senior Test Technician with PCB experience so I DO know what I am doing. I let you all know how it goes.
