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:

Display unit

The display unit is equipped with two small (left and right) LCDs.

Power supply box

You can use Sony's recommended optional battery pack. You can also use the house current. To use the Glasstron, connect your video equipment to A/V IN on the power supply box.

Features

• A powerful, big screen experience comparable to watching a 52-inch screen from approximately 6.6 feet (2 m) away.
• Handy portable folding display.
• The display unit weighs only 3.4 oz (95g).
• Approximate continuous use for up to seven hours with Sony's recommended battery pack, NP-F550.

About the audio/video input jack

The audio/video input jack of the Glasstron is a special minijack, and the signal connections are aligned as shown on the right. This alignment may differ depending on the equipment.

Connecting other equipment

The plug adaptor (phONOJACK phONOJACK) is supplied. Use the plug adaptor according to the equipment you want to connect.

: Signal flow

Connecting the Glasstron (continued)

If your video equipment has an S video jack

We recommend connecting the Glasstron to your video equipment using an S video cable and the audio/video cable to enjoy the highest quality pictures. In this case, you do not need to connect the video (yellow) plug. If you connect both the S video and video plugs, the S video signal is automatically selected.

Notes

• Even if you use the supplied audio/video cable, the audio and video signals may not be carried to the Glasstron depending on the video source. In this case, contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.

• When you connect the Glasstron to the audio output jacks (phono jacks) of your video equipment, connect the Glasstron to both the right and left audio output jacks. If you connect the Glasstron to just one audio output jack, you will hear sound from only one of the stereo earphones.

Connecting the power source

Connect the AC power adaptor AC-PLM2 (supplied) to a wall outlet. Do not connect the power source until all other connections are complete.

Wearing the Glasstron

WARNING

• Failure to properly fit the product (see "Proper Fit," page 9) each time may result in eye fatigue, eye damage, or loss of visual functions and may result in accident or injury.

Precautions

Use

• Operate the product only with the supplied AC power adaptor (AC-PLM2). If you use a different AC power adaptor, it may cause a malfunction.

Unified polarity plug

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the product and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.
  Always turn the product off when you do not use it. Unplug the product from the wall outlet if you are not going to use it for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
• Avoid using earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud, and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
• Do not touch the AC power adaptor or power supply box with wet hands. If you fail to observe this, it may cause electric shock.
• Do not drop or give a mechanical shock to the product.

Installation

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid operating the product at temperatures below 41^ ( 5^ ).
• Do not subject the product to high temperature or direct sunlight. If you do not observe the above instructions, the product may become deformed and the screens may become impossible to align. If you keep watching misaligned screens, you may develop eye fatigue. Follow the instructions in "Using the Glasstron" (pages 21-24), to be sure the screens are aligned. If you find the screens misaligned, have the product repaired at your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.
• Do not place the product in locations where it is wet, humid, dusty, smoky, or steamy. Do not use this product near or around water. It may cause fire or electric shock. Especially, do not use the product in the bathroom.
• If the product is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the product.
• Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, table, or shelf. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the product.
• Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the product where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

Others

• Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
• If the product does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -- this indicates a need for service.

• Do not disassemble or modify the product. It may cause fire or electric shock. Have the product checked and repaired at your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.

• Do not attempt to service the product yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to the product, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the product is in safe operating condition, and to so certify.
• Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the product gently with a dry, soft cloth, or a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

If the nose piece is disconnected Reinsert the nose piece to its position.

If the side pieces are disconnected

You can reattach the side piece.
Insert the side piece to the inner side of the display unit. Gently push until it clicks into position.
However, reattaching the side pieces may cause a malfunction. Be careful not to reattach them too often.

Window coating

To avoid reflection, the windows are coated. Do not place the product in locations subject to sudden temperature changes, or where it is excessively hot (above 96^ / 60^ ). For example, inside a car parked in direct sunlight.

The coating may develop cracks.

For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet "IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS" included with this manual in the vinyl bag.
