•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 
(www.sony.com/tvsupport) 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.
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.
Operate the TV only on 110-240 V 
AC (U.S.A./Canada 120 V AC)

Guidelines for Remote Control
 Point your remote control directly at the 
IR sensor located on your TV.
 Make sure that no objects are blocking 
the path between the remote control and 
the IR sensor on your TV.
 Fluorescent lamps can interfere with 
your remote control; try turning off the 
fluorescent lamps.
 If you are having problems with the 
remote control, reinsert or replace your 
batteries and make sure that they are 
correctly inserted.
Before setting up your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a 
detached Table-Top Stand so you can 
mount your TV to a wall right away. If you 
are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will 
need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You 
will need a Phillips screwdriver (not 
supplied) and maybe also a hexagon wrench 
(supplied with some models) and the 
supplied screws to complete the task. Look 
for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction 
leaflet. 
Be sure to consider the following while 
setting up your TV:  Disconnect all cables when carrying the 
TV. 
 Carry the TV with the adequate number 
of people; larger size TVs require two or 
more people. 
 Correct hand placement while carrying 
the TV is very important for safety and 
to avoid damage. 
 Ensure your TV has adequate 
ventilation, see page 18.
 For best picture quality, do not expose 
the screen to direct illumination or 
sunlight.
 Avoid installing the TV in a room with 
reflective wall and floor materials.
 Avoid moving the TV from a cold area 
to a warm area. Sudden room 
temperature changes may cause moisture 
condensation. This may cause the TV to 
show poor picture and/or poor color. 
Should this occur, allow moisture to 
evaporate completely before powering 
the TV on.
 Ensure that there are no objects in front 
of the TV.
 Do not expose the Presence Sensor to 
direct sunlight or other strong light, as 
malfunction may occur.
