Copy Protection*9

Applicable copy protection standards included in certain media may prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.

TV Tuner*10

TV Tuner will function only in the country where the computer was purchased.

Images*11

All images are simulated for purposes of illustration.

LCD Brightness and Eye Stain*12

Your display panel has a brightness approaching that of a TV device.

We recommend that you adjust the brightness of your LCD to a comfortable level to prevent possible strain on your eyes.

Safety Use for TV Tuner*13

If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a thunderstorm.
