completely enveloped in sound; just as if you were at a concert hall or cinema.
The surround effect does operate without external surround speakers, but is enhanced
when they are connected. Such near surround speakers should not be sited in direct
proximity to the listeners.

Geomagnetism Correction

Since a large picture tube has been used, blurring of colours and strange discolouration patches may
occur depending on the direction the television faces. This is caused by a geomagnetic effect.
For optimum viewing, it is necessary to adjust the TV placement.

1.

The Power should be off when determining the
installation location and direction.
At this time please verify what direction the TV screen
is to face (direction indicated by the arrow).

Helpful Hint

(1) If Geomagnetic changes still cause colour patches on the screen even after the TV is installed, turn the power off

and turn back on again after about 30 minutes.
(2) Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
(3) In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in ferro-concrete

building and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic. In these cases adjust by changing the installation location.
