The following faults are not caused by the receiver:

“GHOSTS”

Reflections of signals from mountains or high buildings will cause multiple images, called “Ghosts”. These abnormal conditions can be reduced to minimum by repositioning aerial or by installing new one suited for your area.

“INTERFERENCE”

Interference may be caused by electrical appliances, car ignition systems, etc. This should normally be a temporary condition, but should this interference persist, contact your dealer.

“SLANT”

If the picture of TV set is not properly horizontal (slant), try to change face direction of your TV set. This case may be caused by geo-magnetic on your place where you live.
