Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black  spots  or  horizontal  streaks  may  appear,  picture  may  flutter  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 reflected 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 pi\
cture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The  interference  produces  moving  ripples  or  diagonal  streaks,  and  in  some  cases,  causes 
loss of contrast in the picture.
PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This  television  has  been  designed  pursuant  to  the  FCC  class  B  Rules. This  is  to  prevent  a 
problem to Radio receivers.  If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take 
the following steps:
Keep the television away from Radio.• 
Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interfe\
rence.• 
The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.• 
Use a coaxial cable for antenna.• 
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other device other 
than the television. If you find 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, ghost-
ing of the image and lost or weak receiving signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When  using  an  antenna,  weak  signals  will  display  a  black  screen.  It  may  be  necessary  to 
upgrade your antenna.
NOTEThe TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio device from 
the TV set to a considerable distance.
