Well, I think that the first thing I'd do is check the controls on the
amplifier. Make sure that nobody's turned on a "tape monitor" switch
or something along those lines.

And if that fails, have you tried the tuner with another amplifier?
Changed the cables going from tuner to amplifier? (I mention this
because I had a set of RCA audio cables recently that didn't work but
did not test open anywhere. For whatever reason, the shield connection
was very high resistance.)

If you want to test the AM side of things, your finger or a short
piece of wire will do in a pinch for an antenna.

Yes because it's a receiver (tuner amp) and all the other inputs seem
to be ok (I was listening to some streaming audio via my PC earlier
via the AUX input).

The thing is, I thought it was the aerial as it feeds two radios we
have here and neither work. However, putting a bit of wire in the back
of this Sherwood gave exactly the same effect (we have a strong FM
signal round here).

Checked.

Sorry, it's a tuner - amp (The AUX was working earlier and I'm using
the CD in right now).

Ok, I'll give that a go, thanks.

No and it would yes. ;-(

Yup ... or hope it's a common fault and someone tells me to cut D54
out and put up with the inter-tuning noise. ;-)

If memory serves, didn't those units have AUX IN and OUT in the back
where you had to place jumper cables in ? other wise, you didn't get
any sound.. Maybe a little leakage but that was it..
ALso, maybe you're using an EQ that isn't working?
