What is pleasing to one person may not be to another. If the
picture is not to your liking after you have tuned in a TV
channel, make the following adjustments:
A. Turn COLOR and CONTRAST to the left as far as they
will go. This will leave a dim black and white image
on the screen.
B. Turn BRIGHT left or right until portions of the picture
you know to be black appear black.
C. Turn CONTRAST to the right until the overall
brightness is to your preference.
D. Turn COLOR to the right until you reach a pleasing
level of color intensity.
E. Adjust TINT until fleshtones and other colors appear
natural.
Degaussing the Picture Tube (Remove
Color Blotches)
Degaussing the picture tube removes any magnetic charge
build-up that has accumulated inside the TV due to electrical
devices such as appliances that may be operated nearby. Color
blotches or uneven color patches will appear in the TV picture
whenever your set needs to be degaussed.
Press the DEGAUSS button. Any magnetic build-up will be
immediately removed.
Use this button sparingly during battery operation to minimize
battery drain.
Use Carrying Handle as a Tilt Stand
Turn it under the TV as far as it will go. This allows you to tilt
the front of the TV for a better viewing angle.
