If the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized service center or dealer.

Snowy picture

Noisy sound

/Check the antenna.

/Check the antenna connection on the TV and on the wall.

Dotted lines or stripes

/This may be caused by local interference (e.g. cars, neon signs and hair dryers). Adjust the antenna for minimum interference.

Double images or “ghosts”

/This may be caused by reflections from nearby mountains or buildings. A highly directional antenna may improve the picture.
