    Precautions
    On power sources
    • The unit is not disconnected from 
    the mains as long as it is 
    connected to the AC outlet, even 
    if the unit itself has been turned 
    off.
     As the main plug is used to 
    disconnect the unit from the 
    mains, connect the unit to an 
    easily accessible AC outlet. 
    Should you notice an abnormality 
    in the unit, disconnect the main

    immediately. 
    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 (http://
    esupport.sony.com/) 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.

    transceiver (EZW-
    RT50) and the Blu-ray
