Caution
If you display a still image on a plasma or projection* TV screen for an extended
period of time, "ghosting" may occur. This is a characteristic of these types of
TVs. Static, non-moving images, such as console setting menus, DVD menus or
paused images, may leave a faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on
for an extended time. Refer to the instructions supplied with your TV for details.
