Problems with an old Zenith
|
Can't Post
|
|
I've got a Zenith (model# SS8915H2) it works great on the lower number cable channels 2-40 but on channels 41-48 I have problems with reception. It seems as though the problem is heat related because I have no problems when I first turn it on. When the reception goes out, it is fuzzy and I pick up reception of channel 40 on channels 41-48 although it is black and white and fuzzy with no sound. Sometimes not all the channels (41-48) for example it may be only 45-48. If channels do go out it always starts with the highest. Also when only a portion of the channels go out, say 45-48, when click backwards on the remote the remainding channels 41-44 go out too but if I cycle through the channels going forwards then 41-44 will work again.
I've been experiencing this problem for about the last 2 weeks up until then it worked great. I know its an old TV, manufactured in 1990, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do. I think all pull the cover off it tommorrow and dry to blow the dust off the electronic components.
I thankyou in advance for any other ideas.
