Poor Picture

 

Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?

 

 

 

Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio

 

 

 

equipment or neon lights, etc.?

 

 

Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images.

 

 

 

Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the

 

 

 

aerial.

 

 

Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct

 

 

 

frequency. See Store TV channels, Manual store,p. 9.

distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Smart picture key a on
