Location:
• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the
seashore, on a ship or other vessel,
inside a vehicle, in medical
institutions, unstable locations, near
water, rain, moisture or smoke.
• If the TV is placed in the changing
room of a public bath or hot spring,
the TV may be damaged by airborne
sulfur, etc.
• For best picture quality, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or
sunlight.
• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area
to a warm area. Sudden room
temperature changes may cause
moisture condensation. This may
cause the TV to show poor picture
and/or poor colour. Should this occur,
allow moisture to evaporate
completely before powering the TV on.
• Never spray water or detergent
directly on the TV set. It may drip to
the bottom of the screen or exterior
parts and enter the TV set, and may
cause damage to the TV set.
Environment:
• Places that are hot, humid, or
excessively dusty; where insects may
enter; where it might be exposed to
mechanical vibration, near flammable
objects (candles, etc). The TV set
shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the TV.
• Do not place the TV in a humid or
dusty space, or in a room with oily
smoke or steam (near cooking tables
or humidifiers). Fire, electric shock, or
warping may result.
• Do not install the TV in places subject
to extreme temperature, such as in
direct sunlight, near a radiator or a
heating vent. The TV may overheat in
such conditions which can cause
deformation of the enclosure and/or
TV malfunction.

with the cabinet removed, or with
attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer. Disconnect the TV set
from AC power outlet (mains socket)
and antenna during lightning storms.
• Do not install the TV so that it sticks
out into an open space. Injury or
damage from a person or object
bumping into the TV may result.
Broken pieces:
• Do not throw anything at the TV set.
The screen glass may break by the
impact and cause serious injury.

not touch it until you have unplugged
the AC power cord (mains lead).
Otherwise electric shock may result.
When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV set for
several days, the TV set should be
disconnected from the AC power

reasons.

the AC power (mains) when the TV set
is just turned off, pull the plug from the
AC power outlet (mains socket) to
disconnect the TV set completely.
• However, some TV sets may have
features that require the TV set to be
left in standby to work correctly.
For children
• Do not allow children to climb on the
TV set.
• Keep small accessories out of the
reach of children, so that they are not
mistakenly swallowed.

Precautions

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://www.sony-asia.com/support)
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 battery near a fire, 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.
• 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.
