Continuous viewing of 4:3 aspect ratio programs can result in screen burn-in (or "image retention" as it is known) and may damage
your display especially if you have a plasma type of display. We do not recommend watching 4:3 aspect ratio programs (with black
rectangle bars on its side) for an extended period of time. Beware this kind of image retention damage is not covered by most TV
manufacturers' warranty.
