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. See item 34 on page 4.
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/or criminal liability.
You can view 480i and 480p format programs in a variety of picture sizes—Natural, TheaterWide 1, TheaterWide 2,
TheaterWide 3, and Full. The way the image displays in any of the picture sizes will vary depending on the format of the
program you are viewing. Select the picture size that displays the current program the way that looks best to you.
