I have installed A Sagem DTR67250T 250gb with the scart & RF leed supplied . When I checked the signal strength I have 98% on both lines ,but the top line is red indecating poor the bottom line is green . Any ideas please. Richard

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.

The FT-840 uses a die-cast RF power amp with thermally switched fan to ensure full power output (up to 100 watts). The digitally synthesized local signals ensure clean, low-noise transmitter output on all HF amateur band. There might be no AC line interference. it has strong Rf output. any AC line intersect does not affect its radio performance. Check and adjust RF power so to maintain proper output. some times more RF power generated at the output may cause interference. adjust Rf power..Even some unfiltered Noise getting the other end of the end may calso cause interference. Check for any Ripple voltages present at the output. Contact authorised service station for further Rectification. thank you shanth

Green Tint on screen and can't work player
[Color vs Cables]:
Hi Judith.
I can't find your original post or answerer reply, but can answer to your latest question above.
An aerial / ANT connection carries RF, or radio frequency.
This includes the frequency spectrum of radio and TV signals.
An RF carrier is an oscillating wave of high frequency.
The audio and / or composite video information is used to modulate (vary) this carrier about a centre carrier frequency.
In fact, a TV transmission is a complex mix of carrier, AM video, FM audio, Color-burst info, and horizontal / vertical / blanking signals.
Each with their own strength-levels, polartity, and precise timing.
But that's too complex and irrelevant to explain here.
Basically, composite color video contains all three channels of color, which are separated in the reciever/ player electronics.
So an aerial cable fault won't cause a green tint.
You'll just get poor reception.
A SCART cable, on the other hand, is a non-RF separated analogue system of signal wires.
As shown in my design of a SCART tester, Red, Green and Blue each have their own individual wired channels.
So it's likely that your SCART cable needs replacing, or internal connections or circuits have lost R and B, or M.
By viewing the phsycedelic chart, failure of magenta M on a CMYK system can also create green.
To clarify RGB and CMYK colors, attached is the standard color wheel as used in TV and computer.
Hope this helps,
Clive.

hi make sure the scart lead is a tight a fitting also make sure the aerial lead is not to long as you will loose signal strength , thanks

Have you checked that your aerial is connected into the set top box & not into the TV? The aerial signal has to go into the set top box & then the box will be connected via your Scart cable into the TV. On the TV you will need to select the Scart input ie. AV1. This should give you the set top box incoming signal, you might then have to tune in the box by following the on screen instructions. Hope this help.

I had the same (squealing) problem on transmit with the Midland 1001Z when I used it indoors as a base unit. The problem was my power supply: it broke into oscillation when drawing more than 150 mA at 13.8V. The 1001Z draws about 150 mA on Receive, and much more (but only about 900 mA) on Transmit. If using the 1001Z as a base unit, I suggest you power it with a fully-charged car battery indoors, or test your power supply to check if it can't supply the required 1 Amp, approx., on Transmit. It's a GREAT radio, just give it a good power supply. My power supply was defective out of the box, but now I have a good one and get great reports on signal strength and audio quality. Remarkable, for the low price and 3 year warranty. Good luck!

I would advise connecting your sky box to the TV with a scart cable or better still a HDMI cable & not the RF cable. The reasons for this sre
1.. You should get a much better quality of picture from Sky
2.. You will not need to tune in the TV just go to the AV or HDMI input source to obtain the sky channels.

RF is the normal round coax cable in black.
Further you need to select your video channel on TV to watch the set top box RF signal. Usually you change the RF channel frequency also on these things. If you don't know channel number let TV scan it.

you will need either a scart leed or a set of colour leeds usuall red yellow white plug these itno your player matching the colours up then in the back of your telly you should have the same colour conectors plug these in then press the av button on your telly this should pick up the signal hope this helps you
