    Notes for Australia and 
    New Zealand model
    This product is ENERGY RATING 
    qualified in the “Home” mode. ENERGY 
    RATING is a program designed to promote 
    energy efficient products and practices.
    When the TV is initially set up, it is 
    designed to meet ENERGY RATING 
    requirements while maintaining optimum 
    picture quality.
    Changes to certain features, settings, and 
    functionalities of this TV (e.g. TV Guide, 
    Picture/Sound, Eco-Setting) can slightly 
    change the power consumption.
    Depending upon such changed settings (e.g. 
    “Shop” mode), the power consumption may 
    vary which possibly could exceed the stated 
    energy rating.
    To reset the TV to ENERGY RATING 
    qualified settings, select “Home” mode from 
    the initial set-up procedure in “Factory 
    Settings” under the “Set-up” menu.
    IMPORTANT 
    INFORMATION
    If a television is not positioned in a 
    sufficiently stable location, it can be 
    potentially hazardous due to falling. Many 
    injuries, particularly to children, can be 
    avoided by taking simple precautions such 
    as: 
    Using cabinets or stands recommended by 
    the manufacturer of the television.
    Only using furniture that can safely 
    support the television.
    Ensuring the television is not overhanging 
    the edge of the supporting furniture.
    Not placing the television on tall furniture 
    (for example, cupboards or bookcases) 
    without anchoring both the furniture and 
    the television to a suitable support.
    Not standing the televisions on cloth or 
    other materials placed between the 
    television and supporting furniture.
    Educating children about the dangers of 
    climbing on furniture to reach the 
    television or its controls.

    Precautions
    Viewing the TVSome people may experience discomfort 
    (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) 
    while watching 3D video images or 
    playing 3D video games. Sony 
    recommends that all viewers take regular 
    breaks while watching 3D video images or 
    playing 3D video 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 3D video 
    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 pediatrician or eye 
    doctor) before allowing young children to 
    watch 3D video images or play 3D video 
    games. Adults should supervise young 
    children to ensure they follow the 
    recommendations listed above.
    When using the simulated 3D function, 
    please note that the displayed image is 
    modified from the original due to the 
    conversion done by this television.
    View the TV in moderate light, as viewing 
    the TV in poor light or during long period 
    of time, strains your eyes.When using headphones, adjust the 
    volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as 
    hearing damage may result.
    LCD ScreenAlthough the LCD screen is made with 
    high-precision technology and 99.99% or 
    more of the pixels are effective, black dots 
    may appear or bright points of light (red, 
    blue, or green) may appear constantly on 
    the LCD screen. This is a structural 
    property of the LCD screen and is not a 
    malfunction.
    Do not push or scratch the front filter, or 
    place objects on top of this TV set. The 
    image may be uneven or the LCD screen 
    may be damaged.
    If this TV set is used in a cold place, a 
    smear may occur in the picture or the 
    picture may become dark. This does not 
    indicate a failure. These phenomena 
    disappear as the temperature rises.
    Ghosting may occur when still pictures are 
    displayed continuously. It may disappear 
    after a few moments.
    The screen and cabinet get warm when 
    this TV set is in use. This is not a 
    malfunction.
    The LCD screen contains a small amount 
    of liquid crystal. Some fluorescent tubes
