PROBLEM: TV reception is poor
SOLUTION: a. For the television to operate properly, good reception is necessary. If you are using an antenna,
make sure that it is properly connected and that it is adjusted for optimal reception. (See AN-
TENNA CONNECTIONS on page 12.)
b. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.
¥ Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)ÑUsually
this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or
other electric appliances. Try changing the position of the treadmill or other electric appliances
to correct the problem.
¥ GhostsÑGhosts are caused by the television signal following two pathsÑone is the direct path
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Change the direction or posi-
tion of the antenna to improve reception.
¥ SnowÑIf the TV is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, the
picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. If the signal is weak, it may be neces-
sary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.
¥ Picture Size Variation: A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST
or BRIGHTNESS control.
Note: If one of these symptoms appears when the cable from a CATV company is connected, the
symptom may be caused by the local company broadcast.
