RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually
caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills,
and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be
caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting
several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.

• SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is
weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal
is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the
picture.

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases,
causes loss of contrast in the picture.
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This

PDP TV

has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent

a problem to Radio receivers. If this

PDP TV

causes a problem to Radio receivers,

then take the following steps:
- Keep the

PDP TV

away from Radio.

- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the

PDP TV

not to receive interference.

- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the

PDP TV

.

- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this

PDP TV

influences Radio receivers by turning off all other

equipment other than the

PDP TV

.

If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the

PDP TV

, check the instructions

mentioned above.

• The display image appears
scrolling diagonal.
• Text displayed across the

screen

appears vertically

streaked, with

the characters

in vertical columns

blurred.

• Adjust the horizontal clock and clock phase.

(Adjust the horizontal clock first, the clock

phase next.)

(RGB input)

• Text displayed across the

screen appears blurred.

• A fine pattern flickers when

displayed on the screen.

• Adjust the clock phase for the clearest viewing.

(RGB input)

• Vertical stripes appear, depending on the
screen contents.

• The plasma display panel is lighting the

phosphors by the discharge of internal

radiation. Depending on the screen

contents, in rare cases this may cause

vertical

stripes to appear because of failure

to light. Please note that this is not a

malfunction.

• Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL

display.

• Adjusting the clock phase will reduce the

horizontal stripes.

(RGB input)

• The display dims to make the picture

invisible

during special playback of a

VCR (FF, REW).

• This condition may occur when the unit is

connected to a VCR with component

output,

such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when

it occurs, switch to composite

output.
