Geomagnetic Correction
Magnetic interference may come from such things as unshielded motors, moving the TV while it is switched
ON, turning off a vacuum cleaner too close to the TV, lightning strikes nearby or many other things.
Slight tilting of the picture may be noticeable or coloured patches may sometimes appear at the corners of
the screen (colour purity).
The Geomagnetic Correction feature can be used to eliminate some interference problems.
Quite often simply switching your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control)
for 30 minutes and then switching it back ON will cure the problem.
Geomagnetic corrections can be made from the remote control or from the TV set.

Helpful HintN
1.
If geomagnetic changes cause colour patches on the screen switch your Television OFF with the
Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in
ferro-concrete buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic effects. In these cases the
TV location will have to be changed.

Monitor Out
The Monitor Out terminals reproduce the signals currently on the television screen. The on-screen signals
could be a television programme or signals connected to one of the AV inputs.
The Monitor Out facility can be used to allow one video source (videotape, video disc etc.) to be connected
to more than one television. Connect the Monitor out from this television to the AV Input of the second
television.
If a video recorder is connected to the Monitor Out and video sources (VCR, video disc, camera etc.) are
connected to one or more of the AV inputs, the television becomes a visual display for tape editing or
copying. Unauthorised recording of material from Television Broadcasts or from other video
and/or audio sources may contravene copyright laws.
The Monitor Out Audio can also be connected to a stereo amplifier or other hi-fi equipment.
