Reception Disturbances; Care And Maintenance - Toshiba 19LV610U-T Owner's Manual

Reception disturbances

Most types of television interference can be resolved 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 occurs when the TV/DVD is connected to a cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local cable TV
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/DVD 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.
Radio frequency interference (RFI)
RFI is 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.

Care and maintenance

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, ALWAYS disconnect the TV/DVD from the power source before
cleaning the unit.
• Wipe the display panel surface gently using only a soft cloth (supplied.) A hard cloth may damage the
surface of the panel.
• Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or and alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive
cleaners, or chemical cloths, which may damage the surface.
• Never spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such products may damage or
discolor the cabinet.
