Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear (supplied). “Standard accessories” (p. 7)

This TV supports [Frame Sequential] 1, [Side by Side] 2 and [Top and Bottom] 3 3D formats.

1: The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition quality and alternately played back.

2, 3: Other available 3D formats

●How to view the 3D images (p. 34)

Warning

Small Parts

●3D Eyewear contains small parts (battery, etc.) and must be kept out of reach of small children to avoid accidental ingestion.

Disassembly

●Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.

Lithium Battery

●Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Caution

To use 3D Eyewear safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.

3D Eyewear

●Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.

●Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.

●Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.

●Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.

Viewing 3D Content

●Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing medical conditions.

●Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other uncomfortable sensation. When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.

●Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.

●Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers.

●Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance between the user and screen can be misjudged.

●The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.

●Use the 3D Eyewear where there is no interference from other devices with Bluetooth signal.

●If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.

●Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.

●Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance. The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of the image height. For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more.

For a 50-inch television, 1.9 m or more. For a 65-inch television, 2.4 m or more.

When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance at least 3 times of the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)
