Poor TV reception - Optimize the modulator
With ’Connecting without scart cable’, the modulator
frequency (583Mhz or UHF channel 35) might already be being
used by another TV station in your reception area.
In this case the picture quality on your TV set will be adversely
affected when receiving one or more TV channels.

no
cassette has been loaded. On the video
recorder, hold the
SYSTEM
button for a few seconds
until e.g.: ’
M583
’ (583Mhz/channel 35) appears in the
display. The video recorder transmits a test picture on
this UHF-channel (or this frequency).
