Mat, >From your brief description, a good place to start would be EN55020 "Electromagnetic immunity of broadcast receivers and associated equipment". This covers sound and TV receivers, video and audio tape equipment, audio amplifiers etc. This spec has the advantage that it is largely self-contained and does not rely on other specs for test methods or limits, and includes circuit diagrams of test interfaces - even how to build an open stripline TEM cell.

I need to know what the standard S/N ratio is for a television receiver, along with other interference factors that affect clear reception. You may have noticed that when some VCR's are turned on when you are watching TV, you can see floating white spots. These go away when you disconnect the VCR. I am trying to develop a test criteria for interference generated by a table top device, like a VCR to ensure that this interference wont happen. In a way, its like performing an OATS test at 1 foot. As always I appreciate you input.
