Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizontal streaks; picture may flutter or drift. | Interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances. | Generally cannot be resolved by the user; may require professional diagnosis if severe or persistent. |
| GHOSTS: Multiple images, often with a delay. | Television signal following two paths: direct and reflected from objects (buildings, hills). | Adjust antenna direction/position. Check antenna system for defects (unshielded leads, multiple sets without couplers). |
| SNOW: Weak signal; picture marred by small dots. | Located in a fringe area of a TV station with a weak signal. | Install a special antenna to improve picture. |
| RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE: Moving ripples or diagonal streaks; loss of contrast. | Interference from external devices. | Separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance. Ensure TV set does not generate sound distortion in external devices. |
