NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON PLASMA DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on your
Plasma display 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 Plasma
display 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 Laws of the United
States and other countries, and may
subject you to civil and criminal liability.
