RECEPTION DISTURBANCE/VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

IGNITIONBlack spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually causedby interference from car ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other electricalappliances.

GHOSTSGhosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path andthe other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other object. Changing the directionor position of the antenna may improve the reception.

SNOWIf 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 isextremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCEThe interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases,causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATIONA slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHT-NESS control.

CARE AND MAINTENANCETo prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the AC power source before cleaning. The finish on thecabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Take care when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGINGThe video heads record and playback picture and sound on the video tape. In the event that they becomedirty you won't be able to do a perfect recording and the playback picture will be extremely snowy withgood sound. If this happens have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES:Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.To help prevent video head cleaning, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn tapes.

••

The most common types of television interference are as follows.
