Whoops, I meant tuner of course. Trouble with looking at several web pages at once!

The picture doesn't appear to be de-focused but noisy.
It seems that the less noise there is the more interference there is with the sound and vice versa.
If i open the tuner drawer, tune in to a VCR and then close the drawer, 9 times out of ten the picture becomes much more grainy.once the drawer is firmly closed.
