• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not
leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or
floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the system
for an extended period of time.
If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be
cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer
sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn
off the power of the TV set/personal computer set once, and
after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. For the personal
computer set, take the appropriate measures such as data
storage before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system
further away from the TV set/personal computer set.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets
are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer set,
such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.
