Problem With Radio Out Of The Blue
I own a Sony STR-DE545 and have for almost 20 years now, but all of the sudden the Radio is scrambled as if there were an antenna problem. I go to Best Buy to buy a new antenna and it still is not picking up the radio channels. It is very weird. Has anyone else experienced this? Randy, Tucson, AZ
