How to troubleshoot poor or no AM or FM radio reception?
If you have an amplifier connected, disconnect the amplifier power. If the AM reception now improves, the amplifier is the problem.

Why do I get bad radio reception in my car?
A station having a low-powered transmitter can cause reception problems, as well as a station that is a distance from where you are and the signal loses stamina by the time it reaches you. Verify the antenna lead is connected to the antenna jack on the rear of the car stereo receiver and that the connection is secure.
Why are my Yamaha RX 596 receivers not working?
(Bi-wiring is pointless in a serial circuit; it just serves to double the length of the speaker cable. You can check yours by connecting only one set of speakers to either the A or B posts. If you then select A and B together on the control panel, the speakers will NOT work if A and B connections are in series.)
