INSTALLATION
LOCATE the receiver in the room where direct light does not strike the screen. Total darkness
or a reflection on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recom-
mended for comfortable viewing.
ALLOW enough space between the receiver and the wall to permit proper ventilation.
AVOID excessive warm locations to prevent possible damage to the cabinet or com ponent
failure.
CONNECTION
This TV receiver is connected to AC: 220-240V~ 50Hz .
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
autom atic degaussing circuit which operates for a short while imm ediately each tim e the
receiver is switched on using the mains switch. This circuit removes any residual magnetism in
the metal parts of the picture tube and therefore ensures that each time the receiver is switched
lifelike. If the set is moved or faced in a different direction, the mains switch must be switched
off at least 10 minutes in order that the automatic degaussing circuit operates properly.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The graphic symbols on the back cover of the set mean the following:
The lightning flash with arrowhead sym bol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) in-
structions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
