TV set, placing magnets near the TV screen or turning 
on/off house hold appliances such as vacuum cleaners 
near the TV set. Turn the TV off with the main power 
switch for 15 minutes. When the power is turned on  
again the TV set will automatically degauss the picture.

Note:
1.If the fault can not be corrected using the above guide consult with your local authorized service 
centre. 
2.The TV set must only be repaired by a qualified registered service person.  Never attempt to 
remove the back cover as TV set has dangerous voltages inside that may cause a fatality or fire.
3. The cabinet may produce the occasional "snapping sound" This is normal and caused by the 
materials in the cabinet expanding with room temperature changes.

Electrical interference which can be caused by cars, 
motorbikes etc, Fluorescent lamps and dirty 
insulators on overhead power cables.

This is called "ghosting" and can be minimized with  
an outside aerial, and good quality cable and 
terminations.  Altering the aerial direction can also 
minimize this effect.
