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.
