• IGNITION NOISE:
Blackspotsor horizontal s treaksmay appear,picturemay flutteror drift. Usually
caused by interferencefrom automobileignitionsystems,neon lamps,electrical
drillsand other electricalappliances.
• 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 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 isextremely weak, itmay 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.
