controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the set to normal operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set
yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
