	• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
		equipment or neon lights, etc.?

		frequency. See Installation, p. 7.

		camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another
		peripheral is connected to one of the externals at the same time. In this case
		switch off one of the other peripherals.
