What is a “ghost”?
Double images of a TV program, or a “ghost”, is a common problem with TV reception in urban areas. A broadcasting signal, reflected from some surfaces (building, mountain, etc.), arrives slightly later than the signals arriving directly from the TV station. This causes such ghosts as follows:
– Double images
– Faint images
–Distorted images
–Distorted colors
–Vertically jittered images

Setting ghost reduction
This VCR is equipped with the ghost reduction function. It reduces the ghosts using a GCR (Ghost Canceller Reference) signal sent from a TV station. The ghost reduction mode can be set for each channel independently and manually.
NOTES:
Ghosts may not be reduced in the following cases:
–The broadcasting signal does not have a GCR signal.
–The antenna is not connected correctly.
–There are too many ghosts.
–The signal is reflecting from moving objects (airplane, etc.). The images on the screen may be distorted when tuning from one channel to another or the power is turned on while the ghost reduction function is activated.
