My TV reception is so clear, you’d think I had a 50 — foot antenna on my roof
Emerson's ingenious new antennas are hard to spot, easy to install and provide clear , powerful recep- tion of broadcast signals +++ without rabbit ears
1 I’m amazed at the way technology has improved television Developments\in' electronic circuits have resulted in TV sets that have sharper pictures, brilliant colors\and-elearér sound From the smallest portables to wide — screen home theater systems, televisions continue to work better and better as optical innovations are introduced Unfortunately, a television's picture is only as good as the broadcast it’s re- ceiving, and even the world’s best televisions cannot make up for a weak or distorted signal Antenna technology has not kept pace with television design, and the rabbit ears from the 1950’s are not far re- moved from what’s available today Well, there’s finally been a quantum leap in the design of antennas , and it’s the result of two patented components developed by scientists These improvements are the secret behind Emerson’s revolutionary new antennas
2 Cable subscription solves the problem of getting the signal to your television, but storms and other factors can result in cable outages If you prefer not to pay the rising monthly fees for cable or live in an
area where it’s not available, your picture is likely to be weak, undefined and distorted
3 One way to improve your reception would be to mount a large antenna on your roof Unfortunate- ly, most roof antennas are not particularly pleasing to the eye and may even be prohibited in the area where you live Rabbit ear antennas don’t improve your picture to any great degree and make your room look like something from an earlier decade Most antennas need to be aimed at the source of the broadcast
and require tuming mechanisms to pick up the signal clearly
4 Whether you live miles out in the country or in a concrete building next door to a broadcast tower,
bad reception can rob you of the definition and color you were intended to see The Optima antenna gives
you the signal - grabbing power of a large antenna in an inconspicuous, low - profile size
5 In the past, cresting an antenna with optimal reception meant making it big, with a large amount of surface area This resulted in products that were large and unsightly of mall and ineffective Either way, the aesthetic look of your room or house suffered Research and development tended to focus on the television, not on signal reception::-until now,
6 Recently, a brilliant scientist in Colorado developed an antenna that would maximize reception
without being overly conspicuous Emerson ,a leader in electronic technology, has now made this innova- tion available to the public
Ÿ At a lab in Colorado, they developed two patented design improvements that made the Optima an-
Trang 5
tenna possible First, they created a flexible cirewit board with a serpentine antenna, resulting in a large
surface area confined to a small space Seeond, they developed a technique that converts the copper shielding on the attached cable to an additional signal receiver This greatly enhances the antenna’s re- ception power and allows you 10 tune the antenna by simply moving the cable! The antenna works bes at a range of up to 30 miles from the signal source We recommend an amplifier for reception up to 45 miles away Ask your representative for details,

Tips for Home Savings
Going green is good for your house and your pocketbook
By using energy efficiently, you conserve natural resources, delay the need for new power plants, reduce emissions of gases that cause air pollution and acid rain, and reduce carbon ~ diox- ide emissions that may contribute to global wanming Here are some helpful hints for making your home more energy efficient
Washers and Dryers
Use cooler water when running your clothes - washing machine
Remember that faster spin speed inthe washer can reduce energy required for drying Clean your dryer’s lint filter after each load Check the exhaust pipe for leaks or blockage, and make sure they’re vented outside Some hardware stores sell a aimple kit to vent dryer heat in-
doore in winter
Don’t overdry it harms clothes and wastes energy If your dryer has a moisture sensor, use it to tum off the unit automatically when clothes are dry
Refrigerator/Freezer
Automatic defrost uses more energy than manual defrost models
Ice - cube makers and through — the - door water dispensers are convenient but they increase
energy use
— l2I —
Trang 15
Side — by - side models use more energy than those with freezer on top Dishwashers
When selecting a dishwasher, compare water - consumption levels - some use as little as 8 gallons of hot water per cycle, others use as much as 12
Look for a dishwasher with a heat booster that will raise the water thus enabling you to tum down the thermostat on your water
Decide if the following use Less energy or not If it uses less energy , write Yes If it uses more ener- gy, write No If the text doesn’t contain information about the statement, tmite Not Given Write your
answers in boxes 1] ~ 15 on your answer sheet One has been done as an example
