About Using Speakers Near a TV (Front speaker, Center speaker)
About Using Speakers Near a TV (Front speaker, Center speaker)
This speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing speakers too close
to a TV may in some cases produces distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on the TV and check that color reproduction is
normal. If color is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back on and check again. (This allows the TV's degaussing
circuitry to correct for the magnetic field from the speakers.) If distortion is still present, move the speakers further from the TV.
