Technique: A still image created with a character generator.

Audio: None.

Availability: Most releases that were branded with the "ABC Video Enterprises" label were co-produced with other video labels, using the warning of the parent label. As a result, this warning only appears on standalone titles, which themselves are very hard to find.^[Examples?]
