Pay special attention when children are viewing 3D images. 3D images should not be viewed by children younger than about 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health while they are viewing 3D images.
Stop viewing 3D images immediately if you feel tired, feel unwell, experience any other uncomfortable sensation or clearly see double images. Take an appropriate break before continuing to view. When you set the 3D effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.
Do not view 3D images if you have a history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems or any other medical conditions.
When viewing 3D images, your sense of distance may be tricked or go wrong. Be careful not to hit the TV screen or other people unintentionally. Ensure there are no breakable objects around you to avoid any accidental damage or injury.
Do not view 3D images from a distance shorter than recommended. The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of the image height.
