●

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.

●

While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.

Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear. “Optional accessories” (p. 8) 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. 34)

Caution

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

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. TX-L42ET50B: 1.6 m or more TX-L47ET50B: 1.8 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.

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.

■ Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen). This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image. Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.

Technical Information

If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

●

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may appear.

●

If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
