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 switch.
This circuit removes any residual magnetism in the metal parts of the picture tube and ensures that each time the
receiver is turned "ON" using the main switch, the purity of the colours displayed on the screen remains true and lifelike.
If the unit is moved or made to face a different direction, the main switch must be off at least 30 minutes in order for the
automatic degaussing circuit to operate properly.

To connect the aerial
To prepare the remote control
INSTALLATION
Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor aerial must be used. The
exact type and positioning of the aerial will depend upon your particular area.
Notes
M When using an outdoor aerial, disconnect the
leads of the indoor aerial, if connected, from the
aerial terminal socket.
M It is recommended that the 75-ohm coaxial cable
be used to eliminate interference and noise
which may occur due to radio wave conditions.
M The aerial cable should not be bundled with the
power cord and the like.
Using the ANT(attenuator) switch (See page 6)
When visual interference occurs, set the ANT switch to
ON using a small screwdriver.

period of time or when the batteries are worn out,
remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
