      Noisy FM stereo reception on your Yamaha Receiver can often be attributed to a few factors. First, check the antenna connections to ensure they are secure. Multi-path interference can also cause noise, so try adjusting the antenna position. If the desired station can't be tuned into automatically, try using a high-quality directional FM antenna or switch to the manual tuning method.
