electrical shock, damage and/or
injuries.
Location:
• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the
seashore, on a ship or other vessel,
inside a vehicle, in medical
institutions, unstable locations, near
water, rain, moisture or smoke.
• If the TV is placed in the changing
room of a public bath or hot spring,
the TV may be damaged by airborne
sulfur, etc.
• For best picture quality, do not
expose the screen to direct
illumination or sunlight.
• 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 colour. Should this occur,
allow moisture to evaporate
completely before powering the TV
on.
• Never spray water or detergent
directly on the TV set. It may drip to
the bottom of the screen or exterior

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-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 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 battery near a 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.

or place objects on top of this TV set.
The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.
