When using an angle connector, if the wire touches the antenna ridge, the
TV cuts out and loses channel.

  Check all connectors for looseness and tighten if necessary.

  Change to a tighter fitting adapter such as Cat. No. 273-1664 (AC Adapter)
  or Cat. No. 273-1801 (DC adapter) available at your local Radio Shack
  store.

If you are unable to locate the problem, take the TV to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
