    interference to radio or television 
    reception, which can be determined

    the user is encouraged to try to correct 
    the interference by one or more of the 
    following measures:
    •Reorient or relocate the receiving 
    antenna.

    to which the receiver is connected.
    •Consult the dealer or an 
    experienced radio/television 
    technician for help.CAUTIONS
