NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on your
TV screen for extended periods of time.
Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images
(including but not limited to PIP/POP
windows, closed captions, video game
patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers,
websites, and special formats that do not use
the entire screen) can become permanently
ingrained in the cathode ray tube(s) of the TV
and cause subtle but permanent ghost
images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
• Using these functions to change the picture
size (i.e., changing the height/width ratio) for
any purpose other than your private viewing
may be prohibited under the Copyright Law,
and may subject you to civil and criminal
liability.
