Tuner will not change stations - Audiovox AWM-900

Hello, according to the information I have, the Kenwood KT-56 tuner is just that. This means in order to have volume control you will need an amplifier. The KT-56 only allows changing of the stations, pre setting stations and may be a couple of more options. But it is only a tuner or simply put a display, now you need to put power behind it to make it put out sound.

Don't you have an automatic tuning system or ATS? By pressing a band switch for a while the ATS starts looking for stations and stores the ones that have a good enough signal. Even if a station broadcasts but the location of the radio is not adequate for a good signal to be received, the station won't register and it will appear to you that the tuner is skipping.

TAKE THE KNOB FO AND SEE IF IT WILL TURN BUY HAND IF SO JUST PUT A BIT OF PAPER ROUND IT AND PUSH THE KNOB BACK ON AND IT SHUOD GO

The system does have a remote (at least it should come with one if purchased new), and you need it to control pretty much everything. Here's what the manual says about the radio tuner (you can find the whole manual here) :

Manual Tuning
1. Connect the FM aerial and the AM loop antenna at the back of the unit. Rotate the AM loop for
better reception.
2. Press TUNER to enter TUNER mode and toggle between FM and AM.
3. When the FM station broadcasts Stereo sound, ST is displayed.
4. Tune a station by pressing repeatedly the TUNER+/- buttons until the desired station is found.
Alternatively, you can press and hold the same buttons down for about one second to activate
the automatic search function. In this mode the player will automatically tune frequencies until
it finds a station.
5. Repeat step 4 to tune to another radio station.

Storing radio stations
The player can store up to 30 radio stations in its memory. You can enter every single radio station
yourself or the player can store all available radio stations automatically in ascending order.
Automatic preset programming
1. Press TUNER to enter the Tuner mode.
2. Press and hold TUNER down for 3 seconds to start automatic preset programming.
Note: A weak signal can affect the "Automatic preset programming" function's efficiency. Adjust the aerial for better
reception and a more efficient search.
3. Radio frequencies will be browsed and radio stations stored automaitcally. When all the available
radio stations are stored or all 30 memory locations are full, the auto preset programming
function will stop.

Manual preset
1. Tune to a radio station (see "Manual tuning" for details).
2. Press MEMORY once to enter flashing Preset Loaction number.
3. While the Preset Location number is still flashing, input your desired preset number (1-30) using
the numeric buttons or press the CH+/- buttons, then press MEMORY to store it.

Retrieving preset stations
1. Press TUNER to enter the Tuner mode.
2. Press CH+/- to search up or down for the preset stations or directly press the numeric buttons.

As you see, you really need that remote. The same is true for disc play. While there are front panel buttons for play/stop, disc skip, and drawer open/close, you don't have any other control without the remote. Without the remote control you'll find this system won't do too much, unfortunately. If you bought this new, check the packing material before you throw it away to make sure the remote's not still somewhere in the box. They often come tucked into slots on the foam inserts.

Also, when you hook the unit to a TV, it's just using the TV as a video display device. The TV has nothing to do with any of the system's other functions.

I hope you have luck locating the remote! Thanks for using Fixya.

It will only tune into odd numbered stations because US radio station only broadcast in odd number stations (ex 95.5,95.7,96.3). You can change the area. Area 1 is North America, Area 2 is other areas. Press "Menu"->"Setup"->"Tuner"->"Tuner Area", then select 1 or 2. After setting, press and hold "Menu" for at least 2 seconds. This may give you the frequency you are looking for.

dx is short for distant. this just makes the tuner more sensitive and should pick up more stations. if it is not picking up stations in dx mode, you either have a bad antenna or a bad tuner.

You can redo auto scan for channels anytime.
The US DTV technology is still changing. The software autoupdate for your DTV tuner and memory can be done anytime by broadcast station signal. So, from day to day your tuner may improve in sensitivity to reach farther DTV stations. And the picture quality can also change by new decoders downloaded into the DTV converter.

Unless the box has two digital tuners in it then I believe what you are trying to do is impossible. Find out first if it does have two digital tuners.

To activate the sound soother press the round button on the bottom left of the unit marked soother. To change the Soother stations press the "Tuner buttons either left or right. The tuner buttons are located on the bottom half of the unit above the volume buttons. one click of the tuner button moves one station on the sound soother selection.

the problem is in your tuner for me it is betwen the IC and the IF transformer. if u cant fix it buy new stereo componet.
