Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by
wearing the 3D Eyewear (supplied).
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 use the 3D Eyewear ● p. 22 - 24 How to view the 3D images ● p. 25

Small Parts

3D Eyewear contains small parts (battery and specialised band, 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.

●

3D Eyewear

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

●

Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case provided when not in use.

●

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

●

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

●

Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear.

●

3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline.
All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health
throughout the using 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.
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.

●

If you do not look toward the TV screen for a while when viewing 3D images, the 3D Eyewear may be

●

turned off automatically.
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 3 times of image height (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 3 times
further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)

3D Eyewear Use

Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any accidental

●

damage or injury.
Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.

●

Always put the 3D Eyewear in the case (supplied) after use.

●

Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.

●

Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.

●

Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.

●

Do not use any devices that emit the infrared signals near the 3D Eyewear, as this may cause the

●

3D Eyewear false operations.
Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong electromagnetic

●

waves near the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or skin irritation around the

●

nose or temples.
In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

●
