WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR PLAYSTATION®2 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when
exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or
backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including games
played on the PlayStation 2 console, may induce an epileptic seizure in these
individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic
symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you,
or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior
to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a video
game—dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness,
disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions—IMMEDIATELY
discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming play.

consulting the user manual for your projection TV, unless it is of the LCD type.
Otherwise, it may permanently damage your TV screen.
USE OF UNAUTHORIZED PRODUCT:
The use of software or peripherals not authorized by Sony Computer
Entertainment America may damage your console and/or invalidate your warranty.
