Appendix A: Interference with The HDTV Tuner
Weather Induced Signal Fading
Natural calamities may affect signal reception. If the terrestrial TV programming is
often affected by inclement weather conditions, there are a few basic steps you
can take to improve reception:
1. Make sure your antenna is aimed to receive the strongest possible signal.
2. If this does not solve the problem, consider installing a larger antenna with
higher gain. This can help to gather more signal transmitted from the TV station.
3. If you live in an area subject to frequent snow or freezing rain, you may need to
install a deicing system to eliminate the accumulation of unwanted ice, snow
or moisture from the surface of your antenna.
4. If the program reception is not good affected by heavy winds, you can stabilize
the antenna mast with cables.
Home Appliances' Interference
When you turn on home appliances like air conditioner and washing machine
while you are using the tuner, in a very rare case It is possible that the power
surge caused by turning on these home appliances may interfere tuner's performance.
In such case we suggest that you use a different AC power source (different AC
outlet) between SH-DT510 and other home appliances (devices which can generate
AC surge), or use a surge protector, available from computer, hardware or electrical
stores.
