How To Use FM Radio On Sony Xperia Z

Learn how to use FM Radio on your Sony Xperia Z. The FM radio in your phone works like any FM radio. For example, you can browse and listen to FM radio stations and save them as favorites. You must connect a wired headset or headphones to the phone before you can use the radio. This is because the headset or headphones act as an antenna. After one of these devices is connected, you can then switch the radio sound to the phone speaker, if desired.

Note: When you open the FM radio, available channels appear automatically. If a channel has RDS information, it appears a few seconds after you start listening to the channel.

How to start the FM radio

  • Connect a headset or a set of headphones to your device.
  • From your Home screen, tap Apps icon.
  • Find and tap FM radio icon. The available channels appear as you scroll through the frequency band.
