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-europe.com/

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.

are displayed continuously. It may 
disappear after a few moments.

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more.
Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover 
in the UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the 
move to digital, and when they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by 
simply plugging it into your aerial socket (check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now, 
or whether youll have to wait until switchover, at www.digitaluk.co.uk).
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need 
to re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up new 
ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to re-
tune during the switchover.
Keep this Instruction 
manual safe you’ll
need it
