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
Danger
About Prohibition of Heating
•Do not put 3D Eyewear in fire, heat it or leave it in places that can get hot.
3D Eyewear contains a lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery, so heating may result in combustion or rupture that may cause burns or fire.
Warning
About Prevention of Accidental Ingestion
•Do not store any 3D Eyewear parts (ferrite core, etc.) in places where small children can reach.
There is a danger small children could swallow such parts by mistake.
•If a child accidentally swallows such parts, seek immediate medical attention.
About Prohibition of Disassembly
•Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.
When disposing this product, refer “Disposal” (p. 32) and disassemble properly for removing the rechargeable battery.
About Charging
•Charge by connecting the included charging cable to the USB terminal of a Panasonic TV supporting 3D.
Charging with other devices may result in battery leakage, heating or rupture.
•Do not use the included charging cable for uses other than charging 3D Eyewear.
Doing so may result in heating, combustion or damage.
Caution
About 3D Eyewear
•Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.
Doing so may damage the glass section, which may result in injury.
•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.
Accidentally inserting the tip of the frame into the eye may cause injury.
•Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.
Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock.
•Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
Doing so may result in injury.
•Pay special attention when children are using this product.
About Viewing of 3D Images
•In the event that you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, discontinue use and rest your eyes.
When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.
•Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing medical condition.
Using the 3D Eyewear may cause the symptoms to worsen.
•Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you feel tired, discomfort, or any other abnormality.
Continuing to use the 3D Eyewear in such cases may cause you to feel unwell. Please take the necessary rest before continuing use.
•When watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching a movie.
•When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers, take an appropriate length break after using for 30 - 60 minutes.
Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.
Viewing 3D images
25
•When using the 3D Eyewear, be careful not to strike the television screen or other people by mistake.
As the images are in 3D, the distance between the user and screen may be mistaken, causing the user to strike the screen which may result in injury.
•Use the 3D Eyewear when viewing 3D images.
•When using the 3D Eyewear, make sure your eyes are on an approximately horizontal level.
•If you suffer from myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, or have eyesight differences between the left and right eyes, please use corrective glasses or other such methods to correct your eyesight before putting on the 3D Eyewear.
•Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.
Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.
•View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
Recommended distance:
For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more. For a 50-inch television, 1.9 m or more.
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue.
|
Using 3D Eyewear |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•As a guide, 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 5 - 6 years old. |
|
|||||

|
||||
images |
|
prevent them from suddenly feeling unwell. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• When this product is being used by a child, the parent or guardian should check to ensure that the |

Using Precautions
Liquid Crystal Shutter (Lens)
•Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear.
•Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed instrument etc. Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
Infra-red receiver section
•Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
•Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the
3D Eyewear from operating normally.
•If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be displayed correctly.
Cautions during viewing
•Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
•The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures. Please use within the specified usage temperature range. (p. 88)
•If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
•Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
•Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may be difficult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images.
