temperature burn.  
Watching Video with the Head Mounted  
Display  
• Some people may experience discomfort  
(such as eye strain, fatigue, nausea, or  
motion sickness) while watching video  
images or playing games. Sony  
recommends that all viewers take regular  
breaks while watching video images or  
playing 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 video  
images or playing games until the  
discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you  
believe necessary.  
• Avoid wearing the unit in environments  
where your head may shake, or while you  
are walking or performing exercise,  
because there is a higher possibility that  
you experience discomfort.  
• The head mounted unit can be adjusted  
in a range of 53.0 mm – 76.7 mm (2 1/8 in.  
– 3 1/8 in.) to suit the distance between  
your eyes (interpupillary distance). If you  
cannot use the system within this range,  
refrain from using the system.

(such as flower vases) on top of the  
processor unit or the battery unit, or using  
the system where it may be splashed. The  
system may be damaged if splashed with  
water.  
Precautions  
Power Supply  
Position the AC adaptor near the wall  
outlet (mains) used. In case of strange  
noises, fumes, or smoke from the system,  
immediately unplug the AC power cord  
(mains lead) to turn all power off. Only  
pressing the power button on the head  
mounted unit or the processor unit will not  
turn the system off completely.  
Transport  
Do not move the product pulling it by the  
cable or the headband. The product may  
fall or crash, causing damage to the  
product.  
AC Adaptor  
• Do not use any unspecified adaptor. It  
may cause failure of the product.  
• Performance and safety are not  
guaranteed if any other USB cable or AC  
power cord (mains lead) than those  
exclusive to this system is used.  
Condensation  
Condensation occurs when moisture in the  
air condenses on metal panels or other  
parts, forming droplets. Condensation may  
form on outer surfaces or internally if the  
system is suddenly moved from a cold to a  
warm environment, or when a heater is  
turned on in a cold room where the system  
is installed. If condensation forms, do not  
use the system until the droplets  
evaporate.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the AC  
adaptor.  
• Do not touch metal parts of the AC  
adaptor. Especially keep in mind that  
touching it with a metal tool may cause a  
short-circuit, damaging the AC adaptor.  
• Operations are not guaranteed if any USB  
hub or USB extension cable is used. Be  
sure to use the exclusive USB cable  
supplied with the system and follow the  
connecting instructions specified by the  
device to be connected.  
• If the system is not plugged into a wall  
outlet (mains)  
Leave the system unplugged, and wait  
until the droplets evaporate.  
• If the system is not on  
Leave the system off, and wait until the  
droplets evaporate.  
• If the system is on  
Leave the system on, and wait until the  
droplets evaporate.  
Built-in Battery  
• It is recommended to replace the battery  
if the operation time with the battery fully  
charged becomes almost half that with  
initial use. Consult your nearest Sony  
service center.  
• The completely discharged battery can  
be recharged normally 500 times. The  
number of times varies depending on the  
conditions of use.  
Using the system when condensation has  
formed may damage it.  
Static Electricity  
You may feel a tingling sensation in your  
ears in dry seasons. It does not indicate  
that the system is damaged, but is due to  
static electricity accumulated in your body.  
The influence of static electricity may be  
reduced by wearing clothes made of

Symptom  
Cause/Action  
Some pixels on the  
screens are not lit, or  
some pixels are always lit  
The panel fitted to this system is  
manufactured with high-precision  
technology, giving a functioning  
pixel rate of at least 99.99%. Thus,  
a very small proportion of pixels  
may be “stuck”, either always off  
(black), always on (red, green, or  
blue), or flashing. This  
Always-lit, or unlit  
pixel  
phenomenon occurs owing to the structure of this  
system and does not indicate a malfunction. Sony is not  
liable for replacement or return of the system because of  
that phenomenon.  
Some scenes on a Blu-ray  
disc recorded at 24 fps  
(matching the original  
movie) look unnatural  
In this case, try activating “24p True Cinema.” For details,  
see “24p True Cinema” (page 32).  
The screen flickers  
Some source signals may cause the screen as a whole to  
appear to flicker when “Panel Drive Mode” is set to  
“Clear,” or when “24p True Cinema” is activated. For  
details, see “Panel Drive Mode” (page 31) and “24p True  
Cinema” (page 32).  
Video is not shown in 3D  
If the same image is displayed side by side or on top and  
bottom, the 3D display format setting may be incorrect.  
Try changing the “3D Display” setting in “3D Settings”  
(page 29).  
3D perception varies by viewer.  
If the “3D Settings” menu is displayed but images are  
not shown in 3D, try restarting the connected equipment  
used for 3D playback.  
The system does not support 2D to 3D conversion  
(simulated 3D).  
Viewing anaglyphic images in 3D requires anaglyphic  
glasses (with red and blue lenses, for example).  
Also check the settings of playback equipment  
connected to the processor unit.  
3D display is not activated  
automatically  
Make sure the “Auto 3D” setting in “3D Settings” is set to  
“On” (page 30).  
3D content without a 3D format identification signal is  
not automatically displayed in 3D. Try changing the “3D  
Display” setting in “3D Settings” to “Side-by-Side” or  
“Over-Under” (page 29).

sound effect  
Make sure the “Surround” setting in “Sound” is not set to  
“Off” (page 33).  
Make sure the “Type of Headphones” setting in “Sound”  
is correct for the type of headphones in use (page 34).  
Sound perception varies by listener.  
There is no bass  
Make sure that the earbuds fit snugly in your ears  
(page 23).  
Audio signals are not  
input in a “codec” audio  
format*  
The playback equipment may be configured to convert  
audio output signals of a “codec” audio format to linear  
PCM signals. In that case, in the playback equipment  
settings, disable “codec” audio format conversion then  
resume playback. For details, refer to the instruction  
manual of the equipment used.
