SECTION 1
GENERAL
The Personal LCD Display is a brand-new
concept in visual display
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Sony Personal LCD Display. The Personal
LCD Display using current technology in
small, lightweight visual displays, provides
a television viewing experience similar to
watching a 30-inch television from a
distance of approximately 4 feet in SVGA
mode. (Viewing experience may differ
according to individual perception.)
The Personal LCD Display creates an image
through two separate liquid crystal
displays, in close proximity to your eyes.
To insure your safe use of the Personal LCD
Display, please become familiar with its
basic operations, including proper fitting
instructions, and be aware of any symptoms
of eye fatigue or other discomfort you may
experience.
3D Stereoscopic pictures
You can enjoy 3D (3-dimensional)
stereoscopic pictures by using video signals
that are already processed to compensate
for parallax. The Personal LCD Display
switches these optimized pictures for each
eye using a frame sequential method (field
sequential in the S-Video input) to display
the 3D stereoscopic pictures.
• In PC mode, you can select the display
mode between 2D (normal pictures) and
3D stereoscopic.
• In Video mode, only the signal input to
the S-Video connector is available, and
the display mode is fixed to 3D
stereoscopic mode.

About the Personal LCD Display
Caution: The screen is always right in front of you.
The Personal LCD Display is a head-mounted display. With this type of display, the screen is
always in front of you even when you move your head. Because of this feature, you can
concentrate on the screen more easily compared with ordinary TVs, and you have a sense of
being in the action.
• It is easy to adjust the Personal LCD Display to your face and eyes. You can use the display
unit even while wearing glasses.
The Personal LCD Display consists of the following items:
Personal Computer
VCRLaser disc player Camcorder
Features
• A powerful, big screen experience comparable to
watching a 30-inch screen from approximately 4
feet (1.2 m) away (SVGA mode).
• You can connect the Personal LCD Display,
which is equipped with two 1.55 million dot
LCDs, to your PC to see the screen of the PC in
SVGA or VGA screen mode. You can also enjoy
3D stereoscopic pictures , as well as 2D pictures,
in SVGA or VGA screen mode.

Notes on CONTROL connector
The CONTROL connector uses the special type of the stereo miniplug shown in Figure 1 below.
Note that the connector of the video equipment or video cables may differ from the CONTROL
terminal.
In addition to the special miniplug, you can also use a stereo miniplug or monaural miniplug
shown in Figures 2 and 3. If you use the monaural miniplug, note that the display mode will be
fixed to 3D stereoscopic mode because the GND and 2D/3D stereoscopic control signals are not
separated.

Note
When you want to display 3D stereoscopic pictures in PC mode, the RGB signal in the frame sequential
format must be supplied to the Personal LCD Display. The frame sequential signal switches the frame
pictures for the right and left eyes alternately for each frame.
Since the RGB signal output from the PC does
ODD/EVEN information of the video signal, the system cannot distinguish which frame is processed
for the right eye and for the left eye. To distinguish frames, the Personal LCD Display uses a frame
control pulse synchronized with the frame transition.
Setting the POLARITY switch
You can enjoy 3D stereoscopic pictures only
when the following signal is supplied: field
sequential signals that completely separate
the pictures for the right and left eyes using
the ODD and EVEN sequential fields.
You can also set which field is for right (or
left) eye by setting the POLARITY switch.

Signal compatibility
The signal specifications that this unit supports are as follows:
•This unit does not support XGA mode (1,024 × 768) and above. If you set the vertical frequency to 60
Hz in XGA mode, the picture is displayed but the picture quality is poor due to the signal loss.
Change the screen resolution on your PC to SVGA or VGA.
•Though the Personal LCD Display supports the signals listed above, set the vertical frequency to 60
Hz when using with SVGA (800 × 600), or to 72 Hz or 75 Hz
the vertical frequency of the external display output signal of the connected computer.
•When you display VGA pictures (640 × 480), the pictures are
pictures (video mode), about 84% of the screen area is utilized.
•Some notebook type PCs do not output the RGB signal in the adjusted screen resolution and the
vertical frequency from the external monitor port until you set the PC to external display mode.
Keeps the maximum volume down to protect your
beyon d the defined limit even if you try to turn the VOL control.
MEGA BASS:
Creates a deep, powerful sound by emphasizing the bass sound.
POWER SAVE:
The POWER SAVING SENSOR detects the removal of the Personal LCD Display from your
head. The unit enters standby mode in a few seconds, automatically stopping the sound and
picture in order to save the battery power. The sound and picture resume after a few seconds
when you put on the Personal LCD Display again.

Adjusts the picture with the RGB
signal synchronization (e.g., if the
picture is blurred, or if red or blue
shadows appear in the picture).
Perform this adjustment after
TRACKING adjustment is finished.

Precautions
Use
• Operate the product only with the
supplied AC power adapter. If you use a
different AC power adapter, it may cause
a malfunction.
Unified polarity plug
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the product and have
it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Always turn the product off when you do
not use it.
Unplug the product from the wall outlet if
you are not going to use it for several days
or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it
out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not overload wall outlet, extension
cords, or convenience receptacles beyond
their capacity, since this can result in fire
or electric shock.
• Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer, as they may cause
hazards.
• Avoid using earphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against
continuous, loud, and extended play. If
you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce volume or discontinue use.
• Do not touch the AC power adapter or
power supply box with wet hands. If you
fail to observe this, it may cause electric
shock.
• Do not drop or give a mechanical shock to

Installation
• To prevent internal heat build-up, do not
block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid operating the product at
temperatures below 41˚F (5˚C).
• Do not subject the product to high
temperature or direct sunlight. If you do
not observe the above instructions, the
product may become deformed and the
screens may become impossible to align.
If you keep watching misaligned screens,
you may develop eye fatigue. If you find
the screens misaligned, have the product
repaired at an authorized service center.
• Do not place the product in locations
where it is wet, humid, dusty, smoky, or
steamy. Do not use this product near or
around water. It may cause fire or
electric shock. Especially, do not use the
product in the bathroom.
• If the product is transported directly from
a cold to a warm location, or if the room
temperature has changed suddenly, the
picture may be blurred or show poor
color. This is because moisture has
condensed on the mirror or lenses inside.
If this happens, let the moisture
evaporate before using the product.
• Do not place the product on an unstable
cart, stand, table, or shelf. The product
may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or an adult, and serious damage to the
product.
• Do not allow anything to rest on or roll
over the power cord, and do not place the
product where the power cord is subject
to wear or abuse.
