Uldn' t it be great to view
our TV picture free of
ghosts or other image problems?
Well, your TV offers the first real
step toward reducing or totally
eliminating ghosting and other
image interfereice. This should be
especially good news for those
home viewer's that currently use
external,or outdoor antennas to
supply their picture.
Soon local stations will broadcast
their TV programs with Ghost
Cancellation information encoded
in the TV signal. These encoded
signals, when passed through an
accessory device and the special
circuitry provided in your TV, can
dramatically reduce ghost line
images and other interference
problems.
Contact your dealer or call our
Information Center number (615)
475-8869for more details on this
exciting new development in
television broadcast technology.
Refer to the Owner's Manual with the
Ghost Cancellation device for detailed
instructions on its hook-up and use.
