Precautions
Viewing the TV
Some people may experience discomfort
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea)
while watching 3D video images or
playing stereoscopic 3D games. Sony
recommends that all viewers take regular
breaks while watching 3D video images
or playing stereoscopic 3D games. The
length and frequency of necessary
breaks will vary from person to person.
You must decide what works best. If you
experience any discomfort, you should
stop watching the 3D video images or
playing stereoscopic 3D games until the
discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you
believe necessary. You should also
review (i) the instruction manual of any
other device or media used with this
television and (ii) our website (http://
www.sony-europe.com/myproduct) for
the latest information. The vision of
young children (especially those under
six years old) is still under development.
Consult your doctor (such as a
pediatrician or eye doctor) before
allowing young children to watch 3D
video images or play stereoscopic 3D
games. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
Do not use, store, or leave the 3D
Glasses or the battery near fire, or in
places with a high temperature, e.g., in
direct sunlight, or in sun-heated cars.
When using the simulated 3D function,
please note that the displayed image is
modified from the original due to the
conversion done by this television.
View the TV in moderate light, as
viewing the TV in poor light or during
long period of time, strains your eyes.
When using headphones, adjust the
volume so as to avoid excessive levels,
as hearing damage may result.
LCD Screen
Although the LCD screen is made with
high-precision technology and 99.99%
or more of the pixels are effective, black
dots may appear or bright points of light
(red, blue, or green) may appear
constantly on the LCD screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD screen
and is not a malfunction.
Do not push or scratch the front filter, or
place objects on top of this TV set. The
image may be uneven or the LCD screen
may be damaged.
If this TV set is used in a cold place, a
smear may occur in the picture or the
picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena
disappear as the temperature rises.
Ghosting may occur when still pictures
are displayed continuously. It may
disappear after a few moments.
The screen and cabinet get warm when
this TV set is in use. This is not a
malfunction.

or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using
such materials or maintaining prolonged
contact with rubber or vinyl materials
may result in damage to the screen
surface and cabinet material.
Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation
openings is recommended to ensure to
proper ventilation.
When adjusting the angle of the TV set,
move it slowly so as to prevent the TV
set from moving or slipping off from its
table stand.
