About Copyrights

•When using the RESIZE function to select an image size with a different aspect ratio to a TV program or video image, the image will look different from its original appear- ance. Keep this in mind while choosing an image size.

•The use of the Resize, Keystone Correction, Subtitle, or Overscan function to com- press or stretch the image for commercial purposes/public displays in a café, hotel, etc. may be an infringement of copyright protected by law for copyright holders. Please use caution.

•While watching non-widescreen images (4:3), if you use the RESIZE function to fill the screen or use the Overscan function to change the aspect ratio of a fixed-ratio input signal, parts of the outer edge of the image will be cut off or distorted. To watch original images as the producers intended, set RESIZE to “SIDE BAR” and Overscan to its default setting.
