We recommend you register your SCEPTRE HDTV with the enclosed

extended warranty service for your HDTV.  This plan gives additional

Sceptre wants to help you save energy!  This HDTV meets the ENERGY 
STAR® guidelines under the default picture setting called POWER 
SAVING.  Changing this setting or enabling other options will increase 
power consumption which could possibly exceed the guidelines of 
ENERGY STAR®.
