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.

the Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject you
