If the following problems occur...
Turn off the TV set and unplug the mains lead
immediately if any of the following problems occur.
Ask your dealer or Sony service centre to have it
checked by qualified service personnel.
Viewing the TV
• 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.

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
