Reducing picture disturbance (’optimizing
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 CH35 or 583MHz.
a
Make sure that there is
no
cassette in the video recorder.
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).
