IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or

drill. Usually caused by interference Irom automobile ignilion systems,
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair
dryers.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One Is Ihe
direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the
reception.

SNOW

If the TV/VCR is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception
area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external
antenna may be nersessary.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of

contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna
or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or
BRIGHTNESS settings.
