Snowy dots and interference  
10 Troubleshooting  
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a  
television signal where the signal is weak, the  
picture may appear snowy.When the signal is  
weak, it may be necessary to install a special  
antenna to improve the reception.  
This section describes commonly-encountered  
issues and accompanying solutions.  
Some problems you encounter with yourTV  
can be corrected by consulting the following list:  
No picture, no sound  
Adjust the position and orientation of  
the indoor/outdoor antenna.  
Check the connection of antenna.  
Fine tune the program.  
Try another program. Broadcasting  
failure may happen.

Check if the fuse or circuit breaker works.  
Plug another electrical device into the  
outlet to make sure it works or is turned  
on.

4
Power plug is in a bad contact with the  
outlet.  
Ghost  
“Ghosting” occurs when the television signal  
follows two paths. One is the direct path,  
the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills,  
or other objects. Changing the direction or  
position of the antenna may improve the  
reception.  
Check the signal source.  
No color

Try another program. Black-white program  
may be received.

This interference produces moving ripples  
or diagonal streaks, and in some case, loss of  
contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the  
radio interference source.
