having a small problem with my hitachi trk 8600 guys,its not picking up stations clearly on all wavebands,your hitting them but never quite hitting them clearly,with or without the aerial up or down.had member shneil here on saturday and he believes its the part inside that you can altar slightly to make the stations clear again,thats linked to the frequency range.so 2 questions,where exactly is it and how easy is it to adjust?i love this machine so dont want to risk wrecking it thats all.....please help

Hey Andy, its usually called something like the VR1 (variable resistor) and will be located on the tuner PCB section. I don't have the manual I'm afraid so can;t tell you precisely but you should be able to spot it.

The looks something like this and you can use a small flat head screwdriver to adjust:

They usually require the slightest of touches to make it lock on again.

Hope you sort it mate I know how much you like the 8600

thanks for all the replies guys,dave,azz,lee and bill,not sure about taking her apart now lee after your valuable advice as ive had problems getting hitachi deck doors back together again correctly in the pastand my biggest fear is ruining this one,bill the fuzziness is present on all wavebands,so could be something more-i think after careful consideration ill just look for a local tech who can do this for me,im not prepared to screw this one uptrouble is finding someone local who is trustworthy and woulnt make it worse than it is!
