GEOMAGNETIC  
All televisions, particularly large screen televisions, are affected by the earths Magnetic Field. The symptom may  
show up as blurring of colours or strange discoloured patches. The location and direction of the television can add to  
the interference problem.  
The Geomagnetic Correction option can be used to overcome some of these effects.
