The snow is what you see when no signal is present (a channel with no signal).

color snow shows the color osc is working, generally the color killer is adjusted by switching to an unused channel, and adjusting the color killer until the snow color just goes away and all that is left it BW snow.

Fine tuning is just that, turn the knob to a channel with a signal, then adjust the fine tuning as I described. Is should go from smeary B&W to good color and then if you continue to sound bars in the picture and finally to loss of sync. The correct fine tuning is just before the sound interference on the pic.

did not know it had a burst indicator, nice gimmick.
