•When selecting the picture size, the way the image displays will vary depending on the format of the program you are currently watching. See “Notice of possible adverse effects on TV picture tube” below.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE

Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) images (such as still PIP/POP windows or black/gray bars in wide-screen picture or PIP/POP formats) can become permanently engrained in the picture tube. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY because it is the result of misuse. See item 33 on page 4.

Using the special functions to change the size of the displayed image (i.e. changing the height/width ratio) for the purpose of public display or commercial gain may infringe on copyright laws.
