Adjusting the Antenna
For VHF TV Channels 2 – 6, fully extend the

interference disappears.
Turn off GAIN when you are using the

The red LED lights indicating the indoor
antenna is selected as the signal source
when the gain control is turned on.
To use a second video source, such as cable
TV, a video game, or satellite dish, move
