ThomsonConsumerElectronicsis one of the first corporations to take

part in a special program to improve our environment.

Thomson has committed itself to a voluntary initiative program through

the U.S. Environmental Protection AgencY. The program's purpose is to

reduce toxic air emissions and to promote pollution prevention.

Thomson's involvement includes a concentrated effort to phase in new
water-based paints to replace solvent-based paints normally used in our

manufacturing operations. The key benefit of these new paints is to

significantly reduce air pollution.

Thomson Consumer Electronics remains committed to improving our

manufacturing process through changes like these to help our

environment. At Thomson, on-going efforts to maintain our valuable
natural resources will continue to be a priority.

If your TV needs service, please contact your dealer or the nearest
Servicenter from the yellow pages. Please do not send any products to

the Indianapolis address listed in this manual 6r on the carton. This will

0nly add delays in service for your product.
