Why are the video and audio distorted on my JVC TH-A55 Home Theater System?
If the video and audio are distorted, the disc may be scratched or dirty. Try replacing or cleaning the disc. If a VCR is connected between the center unit and the TV, connect the center unit and TV directly.

To improve broadcast quality, ensure the antennas are correctly and securely reconnected. If using the AM loop antenna, adjust its position and direction, as it might be too close to the center unit. For FM broadcasts, fully extend and optimally position the supplied FM antenna. If listening to AM, experiment with different Beat Cut modes.
