Reception disturbances
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may
flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical
appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths.
One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings,
hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position
of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be
caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded
leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without
using multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station
where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the
appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak,
it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the
picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks,
and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
