min to a maximum of 1 hr. (over an hour, causes the CRTs to heat past the optimum adjustment
point), OR TV signal (with moving picture) minimum 2 hrs (no maximum time applies). If this method
of aging is used, be sure to coordinate with the customer/dealer beforehand so that the set is ready
upon your arrival. Use Vivid picture mode setting on TV.
