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.
* Except those of LCD screen types
Note
When playing a DVD, connect the console to the TV directly. If the video signal
from the console is coming through a VCR to the TV, copy protection on some
DVDs may affect picture quality.
