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.

• You should also review (i) the instruction

manual of any other device or media
used with this device and (ii) our website
below for the latest information.

Correct Use

• Ensure that you are wearing the head

mounted unit correctly.

– For instructions on wearing the unit,

refer to the “Startup Guide.”

– To avoid watching with the screens

skewed, check screen alignment by
referring to the confirmation screen
displayed initially.

– Note that dropping the unit or

handling it roughly may skew the
screens.

• Do not touch the processor unit, the

battery unit or the AC adaptor for a long
time when it is in use. Continuous contact
of skin with the unit may cause low
temperature burn.

• The head mounted unit can be adjusted

in a range of 53.0 mm – 76.7 mm (2

in.

– 3

in.) to suit the distance between

your eyes (interpupillary distance). If you
cannot use the system within this range,
refrain from using the system.

• By default, a warning message for

automatic shutdown will be displayed
after three hours of continuous viewing.
If you clear the message and continue
watching, the system will automatically
turn off after another 3 hours.

For Comfortable Viewing

Images are perceived as appearing some
distance from the viewer.
If you normally wear glasses or contact
lenses, wear them as usual during use
(with the exception of reading glasses).
Note that watching with bifocals may be
less than optimal.
