realistic and powerful 3D images by playing back on a 3D compatible TV, Before use, please read the

following precautions to ensure safe and comfortable viewing of the 3D images.

This unit makes use of the misalignment between the images that enter the left and right eyes to create
the 3D effect during 3D playback. As the images that enter the left and right eyes are different, fatigue
