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.
l It is easy to adjust the Glasstron to your eyes. You can use the display unit even while wearing
glasses.
l 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.
,
l 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:

small (left and right) LCDs.

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

dealer or local authorized Sony service
facility.
l When you connect the Glasstron to the audio
output jacks (phono jacks) of your video
equipment, connect the Glasstron to both the
