WARNING TO PROJECTION AND
PLASMA TV OWNERS! Be careful
about using the pause feature for long
periods of time if you have a projection or
plasma TV. Most projection and plasma
TVs are sensitive and “burn in” still
images very quickly. If you pause your
program for too long, you may
permanently damage your screen. See
your TV’s owners manual for more
information.
