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-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 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. Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury (except for LED backlight LCD TV). Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from mains socket before cleaning.

• Do not spray water or detergent directly

on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts, and may cause a malfunction.

• 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.

• 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.

environmentally friendly way. Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries. Please consult your local authority.
