☐ Although the LCD screen is made with

high-precision technology and has effective

pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or

bright points of light (red, blue, or green)

may appear constantly on the LCD screen.

This is a structural property of the LCD

panel and is not a malfunction.

☐ The LCD screen is made with

high-precision technology and to achieve a

high level of performance and picture

quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to

maximize the brightness of the TV.

However, uneven brightness may be

observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a

on scattered broken glass.

☐ Do not touch the broken glass with bare

hands. As with any broken glass pieces,

avoid skin contact and exposure to your

eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with

liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these

may have an adverse effect on some people.

The contacted area should be rinsed

thoroughly with water. If conditions persist,

US Safety and Regulatory Booklet

SERVICING Do not use the TV if you

suspect the TV is damaged

or if the TV is damaged.

☐ Do not attempt to service

the TV yourself since

opening the cabinet may

expose you to dangerous

voltage levels or other

servicing to qualified service personnel.

☐ If replacement parts are

required, acquire a written

certification from the service

technician which states that

adequate replacement parts with

the same or similar characteristics as the

original parts have been used. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in a fire, an electric

shock or other hazards.

☐ Upon completion of any TV

servicing or repair, ask the

service technician to perform

routine safety checks as

specified by Sony and to

certify that the TV is safe to operate. Have a

qualified service technician dispose of the

TV if it is not safe to operate.

☐ 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. 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.2
