WAR NIN G: Continuous on-screen displays, like your Windows desktop, can cause
permanent damage to TV screens. This damage appears as “pattern burns” on your TV
screen. This type of damage may not be covered by the warranty for your TV, and Matrox
assumes no responsibility for such damage.
To help avoid this problem, you can use the Windows “
Blank Screen ” screen saver, or turn
off your TV when you’re not using it.
* If your TV only has an antenna or cable TV connector, you can use an
RF modulator
(available in most electronics stores) to
connect directly.
† Your Matrox product may not let you record from a copy-protected video source.
