Precautions
Viewing the TVSome 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 ScreenAlthough 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.

of the screen or exterior parts, and may 
cause a malfunction.

alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, 
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.
