RECEPTION PROBLEMS - 55 -
Do not touch the screen too often.
Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision parts may
result.
Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Don't leave it on or near a heater. Excessive
heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.
When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether.
Replace the old batteries with two new "AA" size batteries.
Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in
a distorted picture.
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.
NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio.
Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
