Reducing picture disturbance - optimizing
the modulator
You may experience picture disturbance if you have not used
a scart cable to connect your video recorder and TV. This is
because another TV station in your reception area may
already be using UHF-channel CH36 or 591MHz. When the
video recorder is switched on, the picture quality of some TV
channels received on the TV is poor.
You may optimize the picture quality by changing the
modulator frequency (591MHz or UHF channel 36).
a Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder playback (see your TV operating
manual).
b Make sure that there is no cassette in the video recorder.
c Hold STOPh on the remote control and
STOP/EJECT h/J on the video recorder at the same time,
until, for instance, ’M591’ appears in the display.
The video recorder transmits a test picture on
UHF-channel 36 or frequency 591MHz.
