Viewing 3D images
You can enjoy viewing 3D images of content or
programmes supporting 3D effects by wearing the 3D
Eyewear (optional).
●
The 3D Eyewear must be worn to view 3D images.
●
When using the 3D Eyewear, please also read the
manual of the 3D Eyewear.
●
This TV supports [Frame Sequential]*, [Side by Side]
and [Top and Bottom] 3D formats. (3D content in 4K
format is not supported.)
●
For details, refer to [eHELP] (Watching > 3D).
*
: Frame Sequential is the 3D format that the images for
right and left eyes are recorded with high definition
quality and alternately played back.
To view the 3D images
●
Use Panasonic 3D Eyewear supporting Bluetooth
wireless technology for active shutter 3D.
■ Playing back 3D-compatible Blu-ray disc
(Frame Sequential format)
●
Connect the 3D-compatible player via a fully
wired HDMI compliant cable. (If you use the non
3D-compatible player, the images will be displayed in
2D mode.)
●
If the input mode is not switched automatically, select
the input mode connected to the player using the AV
button.
■ 3D-supported broadcast
●
Please consult the suppliers of content or
programmes for availability of this service.
■ 3D photos and 3D videos taken by
3D-compatible Panasonic products
●
Available in Media Player and Network services.
■ 2D images converted to 3D
●
Set to [2D→3D] mode in [3D Mode Selection]
([Picture] > [3D Settings] > [3D Mode]). (Content in 4K
format cannot be converted to 3D mode.)
Ensure that the registration of the 3D Eyewear has
been completed. For details, read the manual of the 3D
Eyewear.
●
Use the 3D Eyewear within approximately 3.2 m from
the TV. You cannot view the 3D images with the 3D
Eyewear too far from the TV, because of the difficulty
of receiving radio waves from the TV.
●
The range may be shortened depending on the
obstacles between the TV and the 3D Eyewear, or the
surrounding environment.
●
When viewing 3D images, make sure your eyes are
in a horizontal position where double vision does not
occur.
●
If the room is lit by fluorescent lights (50 Hz) and light
appears to flicker when using the 3D Eyewear, switch
off the fluorescent light.
●
There are differences in the viewing range of the 3D
Eyewear among individuals.

Connection status and battery status are displayed on
the bottom right of the screen.
2 View the 3D images
Safety precautions will be displayed when you first
