Precautions
Viewing the TV
• Some 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-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 3D video
games. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
• 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.
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.
To avoid material degradation or screen
coating degradation, observe the following
precautions.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/
cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If
dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild
detergent solution.
• 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.
Optional Equipment
Keep optional components or any equipment
emitting electromagnetic radiation away
from the TV set. Otherwise picture
distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
(Caution about handling the
remote control)
Notes
• Observe the correct polarity when
inserting batteries.
• Do not use different types of batteries
together or mix old and new batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally
friendly way. Certain regions may
regulate the disposal of batteries. Please
consult your local authority.
• Handle the remote with care. Do not drop
or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind
onto it.
• Do not place the remote in a location near
a heat source, a place subject to direct
sunlight, or a damp room.

every time you select “WPS (PIN)”.
Using the network feature you can connect the
TV to the Internet. The set-up procedure differs
depending on the type of network and LAN
router. Before setting up the Internet connection,
be sure to set up a LAN router. Check your
wireless LAN environment using the following
chart.

automatic setting button, e.g. Air Station One-Touch
Secure System (AOSS). Most of the latest routers
have this function. Check your router.
Type 2: Secured network without
Wi-Fi protected Set-up (WPS)
To set up a wireless LAN, SSID (wireless
