:r'pj-Helpful Hint
1. IfGeomagnetic changes still cause colour patches on the screen even after the TV isinstalled, turn the power
off and turn on again after about 30 minutes.
2. Adjustment for geomagnetism should be performed every time the location of the TV ischanged.
3. In some cases, colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in ferro-
concrete buildings and other structures susceptible togeomagnetism. In these cases adjust by changing the
installation location. ~

direction.
Atthis time, please verify what direction the TV screen is to face (direction
indicated by the arrow).
