Hitachi 42HDX61, 55HDX61 important safety instructions Reception Problems

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.

• SNOW:

If 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 is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

		• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
		The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss
		of contrast in the picture.
		• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
