been set, the LCD screen’s backlight will automatically turn 
off if the system is left inactive for the set amount of time.

Pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit on the screen do 
not disappear.
  LCD screens are made with highly precise technology, but 
in some cases, pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit 
may appear on the screen. This is not a system malfunction. 
For details, see "Precautions" (
 page 8).
The color of the screen does not look right.
  The background color may be set to change automatically 
at the beginning of each month. You can adjust this setting 
under 
 (Theme Settings).
Video cannot be output to the TV.
  Check that the video output cable is fully inserted into the

When video is output to a TV, black bars are displayed on 
the sides (or top and bottom) of the image.
  Because the size of the video image output to the TV for 
games or Internet browser screens is predetermined, 
horizontal or vertical black bars may be displayed at the 
edges of the image.
When the PSP
®
 system is connected to a TV, the PSP
®
