Note about bouncing effect  
Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus,  
configuration displays, or images “paused” may leave a  
faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on for  
extended periods of time.  
Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other  
types of displays. Do not operate the console in such a  
manner that this could occur.  
Some TVs or monitors may experience a bouncing effect  
in their pictures when using the PlayStation®2 console.  
There is nothing wrong with the PlayStation®2 console  
or the way it is manufactured. The problem technically  
lies within the television. If you encounter such a  
problem with your television/monitor, please contact
