Sony ST-SE500 tuner noise

[Kurt]

My Sony ST-SE500 RDS tuner has a noisy signal, when its just turned on, and
a pre-stored station is selected.
Sometimes the noise disappears after 5 minutes.
I have found that if I touch the antenna input with my hand the noise
disappears immediately, but comes right back as soon as I remove my hand
again.
Does anyone have an idea how to repair ??

best regards

Sounds like your antenna is bad or disconnected.

You need a better antenna, or a new one!

It is NOT the antenna - It's connected to cable TV/Radio and I have another
reciever in the kitchen working fine connected to the same system. If I move
that reciever to the other antenna outlet where the faulty reciever is noew
it still works fine - so it's not the cable either. The problem follows the
Sony reciever...

Well, still sounds a lot like an antenna problem of some sort.
