PICTURE CAUTIONS

Picture Burn Prevention

Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to projection television receivers. Such "PATTERN BURNS" constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.

When using Picture-in-Picture function, the sub-picture should not be left permanently in one corner of the screen or a "PATTERN BURN" may develop over a long period of time.

Public Viewing of Copyrighted Material

Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.
