ˎA molded plug complying with BS1363 is fitted to this equipment for your safety and

ˎSome people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, eye fatigue, or nausea) while
watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games on 3D displays. If you experience
such discomfort you should immediately discontinue use of your display until the discomfort
subsides. Generally we recommend that you avoid prolonged use of your PlayStation®3 system
and take 15 minutes breaks during each hour of play. However, when playing stereoscopic 3D
games or watching 3D video, the length and frequency of necessary breaks may vary from
person to person – please take breaks that are long enough to allow any feelings of discomfort
to subside. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. The vision of young children (especially
those under six years old) is still under development. Consult with your child’s doctor or
optometrist before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D
games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations
listed above.

Use and handling
ˎThe LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to excessive force.
ˎPixels that are not lit or are continuously lit may appear in certain locations on the LCD screen.
The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a

a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also, a
distorted image may remain on the screen for several seconds after the system has been
turnedoff.

system outdoors or near a window.
ˎWhen using the system in a cold environment, you may notice shadows on the graphics or the
screen may appear darker than usual. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return to
normal when the temperature goes up.

may cause a faint image to be left permanently on the screen.
