As a cable-cutter, I have an indoor television antenna for digital broadcasts. It has a signal booster as well. I live in an apartment and that is my only option for a TV antenna. I have a Marantz "networking" audio receiver (Model NR1200) with Wi-Fi connectivity. I suspect that RF transmission from the receiver's Wi-Fi hardware is causing TV reception issues. When the audio receiver is turned off, TV sound reception (from the TV's own built-in speakers) and picture reception is much better. I was trying to amplify TV sound through the home stereo system. The sound would intermittently cut in and out and the screen would pixelize.
Nowhere in the manual are instructions to disable Wi-Fi. I was hoping for a way to set my audio receiver to emit no RF whatsoever.
How does one set up the Marantz network audio receiver like I have so as not to interfere with TV reception when operating? Would removing the two Wi-Fi antennas from the back of the receiver help?
Incidentally, when the Windows 11 PC next to my TV is on or even in Sleep mode, I get broadcast TV interference as well. I have to shut the computer completely down while watching broadcast TV so as not to cause reception trouble. The computer must still be emitting RF of some sort even while in Sleep mode.
