1. Poor reception conditions are encountered:
• IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from
black spots, or horizontal streaking.
Usually caused by interference from
automobile ignition systems, neon
lamps, electrical drills, and other elec-
trical appliances.
• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal
splits and follows two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected
off tall buildings, hills or other objects.
Changing the direction or position of
the antenna may improve reception.
• SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak,
fringe area of a TV signal, your picture
may be marred by small dots. It may be
necessary to install a special antenna
to improve the picture.
2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.
3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with
the TV signal.
4. The signal from the antenna is weak.
5. The program wasn't captioned when it was produced, trans-
mitted, or taped.
