- Eeegads. I had mentioned a similar problem with a Definitive C1 center channel
- speaker on my Panasonic 27" flatscreen...the upper *right* hand corner would
- turn color. (And the C1 was stationed 5-6 inches above the set, on an A/V
- system shelf, to boot...)
-
- Mayhaps Panasonic has a problem with shielding. Hmmm. Might have to make
- a call to my dealer....
-
- You're right about the degausser: No manual operation there. My repair
- service said something along the lines of "Well, just unplug it. If the
- discoloration is *real* bad, leave it unplugged over night."
