· Displaying a picture in a Normal mode for extended periods of time may cause phosphor burn-in. Remember that if you select a mode with an aspect ratio (ratio of frame width to frame height) different from that of the TV program or video media, the pictures will appear differently than if you had selected a mode having the same aspect ratio. · Showing a movie or similar premium event at a different aspect ratio from its original one at any event site, restaurant, or bar for profit-making purposes or for a public audience may constitute a copyright infringement. For films, try to select a mode having the same aspect ratio as the original picture; this enables the director's original intentions to be preserved.
