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 until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if
you believe necessary. You should also review (i)
the instruction manual and/or the caution message
of any other device used with, or Blu-ray Disc
contents played with this product and (ii) our
website (http://esupport.sony.com/) 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.
Adults should supervise young children to ensure
they follow the recommendations listed above.
Caution: This player is capable of holding a
still video image or on-screen display image on
your television screen indefinitely. If you leave
the still video image or on-screen display
