RECEPTION

DISTURBANCES

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended
for best results.The most common types of television interference are shown below, If one of these symptoms appear when theTV/VCR
is connected to a CableTV system,
the disturbance may be caused by the local CableTV company broadcast.

IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or
drift. Usually caused by interference
from automobile ignition 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 the
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 necessary.

r

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.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR reads the picture from
the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty
enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no
picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head
cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
Good Picture

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

Snowy

Picture

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting
dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high
quality chemical non-abrasive
(wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally.If
playing a head
cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
