• If you bring a magnetised device such
as a speaker near to your TV, a picture
may be warped or unnatural colours
appear at the corners of the screen.
In this case, keep the device apart from
your TV. If the speaker causes such
phenomena, use the magnetic-shielded
speaker instead.
• A picture may be tilted due to the influe-
nce of the earth's magnetism. In this
case, use the "PICTURE TILT" on page
23 to complete the tilt.
• It takes a short period of time from the
time an operation such as changing
channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a malfunction.
This is the time required for the image to
stabilize before it can be displayed.
• The TV may emit a crackling sound due
to a sudden change in temperature. It
does not matter if a picture or sound
does not show any abnormality. If you
hear crackling sounds frequently while
you are viewing the TV, other causes may
be assumed.
For precautionary purposes, request
your service technician to inspect it.
• Touching the screen may cause you feel
a slight electric shock due to its static
electricity.
It is an unavoidable phenomenon due to
the construction of the picture tube. It is
not a problem with the TV.
You can rest assured that this static dis-
charge does not have harmful influence
over the human boby.
