Do not display any still part of the image for a long period

In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

Typical still image parts:

●

Channel number, channel logo and other logos

●

Still or moving pictures viewed in 4:3 or 14:9 aspect ratio

●

Video games

●

Images from PC To avoid image retention, the contrast is lowered automatically and the screen becomes dim after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 107)

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: 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 view the 3D images (p. 36)

Warning

Small Parts

●

3D Eyewear contains small parts (battery, 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.

Viewing 3D images

Caution

To use 3D Eyewear safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.

3D Eyewear

●

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

●

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

●

Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.

●

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

●

Do not exert pressure on or scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter of the 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. When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.

●

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.

●

Use the 3D Eyewear where there is no interference from other devices with Bluetooth signal.

●

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 at least 3 times of the image height. For a 50-inch television, 1.9 m or more For a 55-inch television, 2.1 m or more For a 60-inch television, 2.3 m or more For a 65-inch television, 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 at least 3 times of the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)

3D Eyewear Use

●

Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear. 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 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.

●

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.

●

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 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.

Lithium Battery

●

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

3D Eyewear

●

Use the supplied 3D Eyewear or Panasonic 3D Eyewear that has this

wireless technology), and you can use the 3D

Note

●

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.

●

There are differences in the viewing range of the 3D Eyewear among individuals.

●

The 3D Eyewear may not operate correctly at the outside of the viewing range.

●

3D Eyewear can be worn over vision correction glasses.

Storing and cleaning the 3D Eyewear

●

Clean using a soft, dry cloth.

●

Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the cloth before use.

●

Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.

●

Do not dunk the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning.

●

Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.

●

As the liquid crystal shutters (lens) are fragile and easily broken, be very careful when cleaning them.
