connected to the scart connector on the rear of the TV.
• Check aerial/cable connections.
• Check the aerial location and direction.
• Check if the aerial is broken or bent.

years in normal use, one to two years at the seaside).
• Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as cars, motorcycles,
or hair-dryers.
• Make sure that the aerial is connected using the supplied coaxial cable.
• Keep the aerial cable away from other connecting cables.
