How Can I Improve Reception On My LCD TV?

Last Update date : Oct 30. 2020

 Pixelating, ghosting, and snow on LCD TVs are often caused by a weak signal. There are two functions your can use that might strengthen a weak signal and improve your reception:

  • The LNA function 
  • The Fine Tuning function.

Both are described below.

Important These functions are available on many, but not all, Samsung LCD TVs.

Using the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) Function

To use the LNA function, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your TV.
  2. Press the Menu button on your remote control. The Main menu appears.
  3. Press the Up or Down arrow button on your remote to select Channel, and then press the Enter button.
  4. Press the Up or Down arrow button on your remote to select LNA, and then press the Enter button.
  5. Press the Up or Down arrow button on your remote to set LNA On, and then press the Enter button.
  6. Press the Exit button to exit.

Notes:

  • LNA functions only when antenna is set to AIR or CABLE.

  • The LNA setting must be made separately for each channel.
