Tips for tuning
Changing the pr ogramme number of a television channel
2 3 4 5 switch the equipment on one piece at a time and check the picture on all your programmes. The pieces of equipment that are not switched on must be on stand-by. If any of your programmes have wavy lines on the picture when the equipment is switched on, you will have to change the output frequency of the equipment. Please read the instruction book for the equipment to find out how to do this. Change the output frequency a little at a time (or in 8MHz steps) and keep checking all your programmes. When there are no wavy lines (or other interference) on any of the pictures, re-tune the programme number that you have chosen for your equipment (see �Tuning in the programmes� on pages 2 to 3). Do the same for each piece of equipment, but after you�ve finished with each one, leave it switched on while you check the next piece of equipment. Continue until you have all the pieces of equipment working together without interfering with each other. If you cannot get rid of the interference, you may have to connect the equipment with a scart cable, (see �How to connect scart cables� on page 9).
