2. Adjustment for geomagnetism 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 buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetism. In these cases adjust by changing the installation location.
