If the TV set and the video recorder are only connected with an
aerial cable - rather than with an additional scart cable - it may
happen that in certain reception locations the modulator
frequency of the video recorder is occupied by a TV channel. As

of the TV picture deteriorates.The following steps will show you
how to overcome this problem.
