Reception Problems
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.

BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is usually
caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghost-
ing of the image and lost or weak receiving signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be necessary to
upgrade your antenna.
The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment
