• Do not allow the AC power cord (mains

lead) or the connecting cables to be
pinched as the internal conductors may
become exposed and cause a short
circuit or an electrical break.

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 paediatrician 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.
