• Using cabinets or stands recommended by
the manufacturer of the television.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the
television.
• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the
edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television
to a suitable support.
• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other
materials placed between the television and
supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television or
its controls.

Precautions
Viewing the TV
• Some people may experience
discomfort (such as eye strain,
fatigue, or nausea) when using this
product. 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 using this product and
watching the 3D video images until
the discomfort ends;
consult a doctor if you believe
necessary. You should also review (i)
the instruction manual of your
television, as well as any other device
or media used with your television
and (ii) Sony website 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 stereoscopi c 3D
games.
Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
• You should only use this product for
watching 3D video images on a
compatible Sony television.
• Watch the TV from a distance of more
than three times the TV’s screen
height.
• Avoid eye injury with the tip of the
temple arms.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
the hinges when bending the temple
arms.
• 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

• 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
