|
| direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be |

| If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is |
|

|

|
| picture. |

| • RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE: |
|
| The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, |
|
| causes loss of contrast in the picture. |
