Helpful Hint
1. If geomagnetic changes cause colour patches on the screen switch your Television OFF with the Power
On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
2. Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
3. In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in
ferroconcrete buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic effects. In these cases the TV
location will have to be changed.
