Important

¶Drawings can be extended to the area occupied by the function icons, but when the function icons are changed from display ON to display OFF, lines drawn in the over- lapping area will be erased.

¶Under ordinary conditions, the “prohibited operation” icon is displayed when an operation is attempted that is not supported by player or disc. However, when using the video blackboard, these cautionary icons are not displayed, in order to avoid causing the erasure of lines drawn on the screen in the area where the icons would otherwise be displayed.

¶Writing on the rightmost edge of the screen may not be possible due to limitations on cursor movement.

Important

¶Video Blackboard functions are not supported during dis- play of external input video.
