■ Viewing 3D Images
Caution
●
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.
●
The recommended viewing distance is at least
3 times of the image height. Do not view 3D images
from a distance shorter than recommended.
