speakers.
The following are normal and are NOT malfunctions:
Y When touching the picture tube surface, you might feel a slight charge of static electricity. This is because
the picture tube contains static electricity; it does not affect the human body.
Y The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. There is no problem unless the
picture or sound is abnormal.
Y When a still, bright image (of a white dress, for example) appears on the screen, the image may be coloured.
This problem occurs in all picture tubes, and as the bright image disappears, the colour also disappears.
Y This TV is equipped with a microcomputer that may operate abnormally due to interference from external
components. If this happens, turn off the main power and disconnect the power cord from the AC socket.
Then reconnect the power cord to the AC socket and turn on the main power again.
