Radio interference
The AVR250 is a digital audio device which have been designed to very high standards of
electromagnetic compatibility.
The unit can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and
AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the AVR250 player and its connecting cables as far from the
tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the AVR250 and the tuner to different mains sockets can
also help to reduce interference.
