Reception Problems - Hitachi 42HDF39 Operating Manual

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• The display image appears
scrolling diagonal.
• Text displayed across the screen
appears vertically streaked, with
the characters in vertical columns
blurred.
• Text displayed across the
screen appears blurred.
• A fine pattern flickers when
displayed on the screen.
• Vertical stripes appear, depending on the
screen contents.
• Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL
display.
• The display dims to make the picture invisible
during special playback of a VCR (FF, REW).
• 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
picture.
• 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

• Adjust the clock phase for the clearest viewing.
(RGB input)
• The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal
radiation. Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases this may cause vertical
stripes to appear because of failure to light. Please note that this is not a malfunction.
• Adjusting the clock phase will reduce the horizontal stripes.
(RGB input)
• This condition may occur when the unit is connected to a VCR with component
output, such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when it occurs, switch to composite
output.
