RECEPTION DISTURBANCE
Most types of television interference can be remedied
by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best
results. The most common types of television interfer-
ence are shown below. If one of these symptoms
appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local
Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may
appear, the picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from
automobile ignition systems, neon
lamps or AC powered tools and ap-
pliances such as drills or hair dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television
signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected
by tall buildings, hills or other large
objects. Changing the direction or po-
sition of the antenna may improve the
reception.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR is located far from the
TV station, in a fringe reception area
where the signal is weak, small dots
may appear in the picture. If the sig-
nal is extremely weak, the installation
of a larger external antenna may be
necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTER-
FERENCE (RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this type
of interference produces moving
ripples or diagonal streaks in the pic-
ture. Some cases may cause a loss
of contrast in the picture. Changing
the direction and position of the an-
tenna or installing an RFI filter may
improve the picture.
3
Press
9
(F.FWD) or
8
(REW). The unit will skip
over the selected number of INDEX marks and will
start playback at the selected mark.
NOTES:
•
When you recorded an
INDEX mark at the very
beginning of the tape, the
mark may not be found.
•
During INDEX search, the
tape may stop and begin to
play at a slightly different location.
•
INDEX may not function properly with old or worn out
video tapes.
•
Maximal 9 INDEX-Marks can be searched.
