⚠️ Warning: Unsupported Scan Rates & CRT Hardware Safety

During BIOS boot-up or when using unsupported video signals (e.g., out‑of‑range horizontal scan rates), CRT can experience hard stress on its deflection circuitry. In some older or lower-quality CRT displays, this may result in:

• Overheated or saturated flyback transformer, horizontal deflection coil, or driver transistor
• Potential component burnout (deflection ICs, coils, capacitors)

➡️ To minimize risk:

• Keep the CRT powered off or switched to another input during BIOS/boot sequences
• Avoid feeding non-CRT-safe signals until Batocera has properly initialized safe modelines via Switchres
