    On watching 3D video 
    images
    Some people may experience 
    discomfort (such as eye strain, 
    fatigue, or nausea) while watching 
    3D video images. Sony 
    recommends that all viewers take 
    regular breaks while watching 3D 
    video images. 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 until the discomfort ends; 
    consult a doctor if you believe 
    necessary. You should also review 
    (i) the instruction manual and/or the 
    caution message of any other 
    device used with, or Blu-ray Disc 
    contents played with this product 
    and (ii) our website (for customers 
    in Europe and Russia: http://
    www.sony-europe.com/
    myproduct/; for customers in Asia 
    and Australia: 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. 
    Adults should supervise young 
    children to ensure they follow the 
    recommendations listed above.
