AUTOMATIC DEGAUSSING

All colour television receivers are sensitive to magnetic influences, usually
caused by either moving the receiver from one place to another or using certain
electrical appliances near the receiver. This residual magnetism as it is called,
sometimes causes distortion which gives rise to "blotchy" areas of colour in the
picture. To avoid these effects the receiver incorporates
an automatic degaussing circuit which operates for a short while immediately each
time the receiver is switched on using the mains switch. This circuit removes any
residual magnetism in the metal parts of the picture tube and therefore ensures that
each time the receiver is switched "ON" using the Mains switch, the purity of the
colours displayed on the screen remain true and lifelike. If the set is moved or
faced in a different direction , the mains switch must be switched off at least 10
minutes in order that the automatic degaussing circuit operates properly.

IMPORTANT

The DVD section of this TV DVDcombo requires several seconds to

/

configure itself immediately after switch on During this period the TV screen
will comain in blank this is not a fault with your set We recommends you DO

.

NOT press any buttons on the remote control or TV set while this
configuration is process

CAUTION

Never replace with any components inside your set, or any other adjustment
controls not mentioned in this manual.All television receivers are high voltage
instruments. Your PICTURE TUBE is highly evacuated. If broken, glass fragments
will be violently expelled. Scratching, shipping or undue pressure is dangerous and
should be avoided. When you dust or wipe the PICTURE TUBE FACE or CABINET,
the power plug should be pulled out from the socket , then wipe the receiver with a
dry soft cloth.All "inside work" on your receiver should be performed only by
Professional Service Personnel.
