Otherwise, the objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm. Use with a TV set In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets, etc. are extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, therefore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with color television sets, etc. , this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration may still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of the television set, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again.
