    CS2 making screen green

    I just purchased a Polk CS2 center channel speaker which for some reason makes about a 3 inch thick green line at the top of my screen with dvd's and TV. I thought if a speaker was "magnetetically sheilded" it was ok to set on top of a tv. Can someone explain this to me? Thank you
