Glasstron is a brand-new concept in
visual display
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sony
Glasstron Personal Viewer. The Glasstron,
using current technology in small,
lightweight visual displays, provides a
television viewing experience similar to
watching a 52-inch television from a
distance of approximately 2 m (6.6 feet).
(Viewing experience may differ according
to individual perception.)
The Glasstron Personal Viewer creates an
image through two separate liquid crystal
displays, in close proximity to your eyes.
To insure your safe use of the Glasstron,
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.

About the Glasstron

Caution: The screen is always right in front of you.
The Glasstron is a face-mounted display. With this type of display, the screen is always in front
of you, even if 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 Glasstron to your eyes. You can use the display unit even while wearing
glasses.
• Every time you use the Glasstron, the adjustment screen appears to help you adjust the
display unit properly. You can also check whether the left and right screen positions are
properly aligned or not.
• If you keep using the Glasstron continuously for three hours, a warning appears on the screen
and the power will turn off automatically.
The Glasstron consists of the following items:
Features
• A powerful, big screen experience
comparable to watching a 52-inch screen
from approximately 2 m (6.6 feet) away.
• Handy portable folding display.
• The display unit weighs only 100 g (4 oz).
• Approximate continuous use for up to
seven hours with Sony's recommended
battery pack, NP-F550.
