Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may
be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal
computers may become magnetically distorted. In such a
case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer
once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. In the
case of a personal computer, take appropriate measures,
such as data storage, before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the
system farther away from the TV set/personal
computer. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in
which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/
personal computer, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys
etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture
due to their interaction with the system.
