About magnetically shielded speaker (to prevent colour irregularity occurring on
the TV screen)
The speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However,
some leakage may occm; as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the speakers is used with a
CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters (1 ft) from the TV set, etc. If
it is installed too close, colour irregularity may occur on the screen, if colour irregularity
occurs, turn offthe TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity
occurs again, place the speakers further away from the TV set. If colour irregularity still occurs
after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is nearby the speakers. Colour
irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the speakers and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand,
etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.
"lb obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the distance of the speakers from your
listening position, then set the balance and level. Use the test tone to adjust the speaker volumes
to the same level.
