CONFIRMATION STEP 1: RECEPTION CONDITION SYMPTOM (EXAMPLE) [RADIO]

id0903e3804000

Symptom

Antenna signal condition

Source

Only a buzzing sound from the speakers

•  There is no broadcasting wave.

•  Signals from antenna to audio unit/car-navigation unit are not transmitted.

•  Electric noise caused by the operation of internal circuit from audio unit it self

•  Atmosphere noise

A buzzing or crunching sound and normal sound produced at the same time from the speakers

•  Though signals are transmitted from antenna to audio unit, electric noise from other sources is larger.

•  Electrical noise caused by operation of electrical component on vehicle

•  Electrical noise from high tension wire, transformer substation (factory), electrical feeder line (street car), or motorcycle.

A thumping sound and normal sound produced at the same time from the speakers (FM only)

•  Noise occurs due to radio wave environment at specific places (e.g. in valleys between buildings). Noise varies when own vehicle or surrounding vehicles moves. (FM only)

•  Interference between direct and reflected waves of FM signals causes noise (Multipass noise).
