Hi, I'm writing for a friend. They have a 70's Hitachi receiver that sounds fine except for one glaring issue: At all times, the receiver is playing a relatively quiet FM frequency. It has nothing to do with where the dial is and keeps up in the background whether you change the frequency on AM or FM. It plays when the Phono is on. I think it disappears when you turn on the Tape Monitor.
I have no idea what to do about this. I tried using the "B" speaker inputs on a whim but obviously that did nothing. Any advice?
Thanks,
WJ
