Appendix A: Interference withThe HDTVTuner

Weather Induced Signal Fading

Natural calamities may affect signal reception. If the terrestrial TV programming is often affected by inclement weather conditions, there are a few basic steps you can take to improve reception:

1.Make sure your antenna is aimed to receive the strongest possible signal.

2.If this does not solve the problem, consider installing a larger antenna with higher gain.This can help to gather more signal transmitted from the TV station.

3.If you live in an area subject to frequent snow or freezing rain, you may need to install a deicing system to eliminate the accumulation of unwanted ice, snow or moisture from the surface of your antenna.

4.If the program reception is not good affected by heavy winds, you can stabilize the antenna mast with cables.

Home Appliances' Interference

When you turn on home appliances like air conditioner and washing machine while you are using the tuner, in a very rare case It is possible that the power surge caused by turning on these home appliances may interfere tuner's performance.

In such case we suggest that you use a different AC power source (different AC outlet) between SH-DT510 and other home appliances (devices which can generate AC surge), or use a surge protector, available from computer, hardware or electrical stores.
