surrounds become warm. You may feel hot when touching there
by the hand.

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://support.sony-europe.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 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 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.

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. Follow

your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

• Do not subject the LCD screen to any strong

impact or shock. The screen glass may
crack or shatter and cause injury.
