Safety and Precautions
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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 recommended for comfortable viewing.
ALLOW enough space between the receiver and the wall to permit proper
ventilation.
AVOID excessively warm locations to prevent possible damage to the cabinet or
component failure.
POWER CONNECTION
This TV receiver can be connected to 230V-240V AC 50Hz, NEVER connect to DC
supply or any other power.
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 circuit which
operates for a short while immediately each time 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 "ON"
using the Mains switch, the purity of the colours displayed on the screen remain
true and lifelike. If the set is moved or faced in a different direction , the mains
switch must be switched off for at least 20 minutes in order to make sure that the
automatic degaussing circuit operates properly.
2. INSTALLATION
Please read and follow the instructions carefully before you operate this TV set in
order to avoid the set from any damage due to wrong operation.
Any adjustment or repair to the TV set should only be done by a qualified service
engineer.
