Precautions when connecting the aerial
Please use a coaxial cable which is free from interference to connect the aerial. Avoid using a parallel flat feeder wire as interference may occur, causing reception to be unstable and stripe noise to appear on the screen. For safety, install an external aerial conforming to AS1417. 1 (applicable for Australia only) If there are noise appearances in the picture of VHF-Low band channel, please use the double-shielded cable (not provided) for RF LEADS to reduce the noise.
