EN 20Reception disturbancesIGNITION NOISE:Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may utter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.GHOSTS:Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.SNOW:If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.•  Keep the television away from Radio.•  Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.•  The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.•  Use a coaxial cable for antenna.•  You can check if this television inuences Radio receivers by turning o all other equipment other than the television. If you nd a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghosting of the image and lost or weak receiving signals.NOTE:•  The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
