Reducing picture disturbance - optimising
the modulator
You may experience picture disturbance if you have not used
a scart cable to connect your video recorder and TV. This is
because another TV station in your reception area may
already be using UHF-channel CH36 or 591MHz.
In this case the picture quality on your TV set will be poor
when receiving one or more TV channels with the video
recorder switched on.
a
Make sure that there is
no
cassette in the video recorder.
With the video recorder
switched off
hold the
SYSTEM
button for a few seconds until the modulator frequency,
for example, ’
M591
’ (591 Mhz or channel 36) appears on
the video recorder display. The video recorder will then
transmit a test picture channel or frequency.

Switching off the modulator
If you cannot clear picture or sound interference, you can
switch off the built-in modulator.
You should only do this if you have connected the video
recorder to the TV set with a scart cable. ’Connecting VCR
without scart cable’ is not possible when the modulator is
switched off.
