AC power cord (mains lead)

Handle the AC power cord (mains lead) and outlet (mains socket) as follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or damage and/or injuries:

Insert the plug fully into the AC power outlet (mains socket).

Operate the TV set on a 110–240 V AC supply only.

When wiring cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) for your safety and take care not to catch your feet on the cables.

Disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the AC power outlet (mains socket) before working on or moving the TV set.

Keep the AC power cord (mains lead) away from heat sources.

Unplug the AC power plug (mains plug) and clean it regularly. If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate, which could result in a fire.

Note

Do not pinch, bend, or twist the AC power cord (mains lead) excessively. The core conductors may be exposed or broken.

Do not modify the AC power cord (mains lead).

Do not put anything heavy on the AC power cord (mains lead).

Do not pull on the AC power cord (mains lead) itself when disconnecting the AC power cord (mains lead).

Do not connect too many appliances to the same AC power outlet (mains socket).

Do not use a poor fitting AC power outlet (mains socket).

Prohibited Usage

Do not install/use the TV set in locations, environments or situations such as those listed below, or the TV set may malfunction and cause a fire, 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.

Environment:

Places that are hot, humid, or excessively dusty; where insects may enter; where it might be exposed to mechanical vibration, near flammable objects (candles, etc). The TV set shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV.

(3D compatible models only)

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.

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.

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.

The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Never spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the

screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

Never use any type of abrasive pad, 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.
