Precautions
Viewing the TVSome people may experience discomfort 
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) 
while watching 3D video images or 
playing 3D video games. Sony 
recommends that all viewers take regular 
breaks while watching 3D video images or 
playing 3D video 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 3D video 
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-asia.com/support) 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 3D video 
games. Adults should supervise young 
children to ensure they follow the 
recommendations listed above.
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.

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.

high-precision technology and 99.99% or 
more of the pixels are effective, black dots

property of the LCD screen and is not a 
malfunction.

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.

of liquid crystal. Some fluorescent tubes 
used in this TV set also contain mercury
