Turn the set off for more than about 30 minutes. When it re-starts, the
internal degaussing coil should degauss the mask in the CRT. It ma
not do
the total job the first time. You can watch the set the way it is
even
though it is a bit annoying. Eventually after the set's power i
recycled
over a period of days, the degaussing coil should eventuall
demagnetize the
screen. If not, then there is a problem with the degaussing coi
circuit, or
the coil itself in the set, or the mask in the CR has been damaged.

Normally a magnet will not permanently damage a CRT, unless it i
extremely
strong. It is not good practice to put magnets near to a CRT mask.

Do not try to demagnetize the screen by seeing if you can neutralize i
with
magnets. This is not a good practice.

If you are in a hurry to degauss the screen, you can call in your loca
TV
service shop to degauss it manually with a hand held degaussing coil
You
can also buy a hand held degassing coil from most of the majo
electronics
parts distributors who specialize in parts for servicing TV sets. Thi
item
can cost about $80 to $120 US depending on the manufacture and mode
type.
