TROUBlESHOOTING

Common Audio/Visual Problems
Problem Explanation/Recommendation
Buzzing sound in audio Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes make a buzzing
systems sound when operated from the inverter, because the power supply in
the electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave
produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a
sound system that has a higher quality power supply.
Problem: Television The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals.
Interference However, in some instances, some interference may still be visible,
especially when the TV signal is weak. Try the following to improve the
picture:
1. Move the Inverter as far away as possible from the TV set, the
antenna, and the antenna cables. Use a short AC extension cord, if
necessary.
2. Adjust the orientation of the antenna cables, and the TV power cord
to minimize interference.
3. Make sure that the antenna feeding the TV provides an adequate
(snow-free) signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is
used.
