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. 6) 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 (see below)
Caution
To enjoy 3D images 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.
Viewing 3D images
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. 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 at least 3 times of image height. TX-P42ST30B : 1.6 m or more TX-P46ST30B : 1.7 m or more TX-P50ST30B : 1.9 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 further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)

and [Top and Bottom]
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. Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case
supplied with the 3D Eyewear when not in 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. Do not expose the infra-red receiver section
to bright light such as direct sunshine and fluorescent light. The 3D image may not be displayed correctly. 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.

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or record to the external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode. TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 23).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be
displayed, the TV must be On. No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the
recorder connected to the TV. If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 78) and the [Link Settings] (p. 39) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder. If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition
to the Timer Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder. Recordings to the external recorders are always in standard definition composite video via SCART,
even if the original programme is in high definition.

Widescreen signal (WSS)
Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this 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. 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.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
Caution
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside
the TV could lead to product failure. Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances.
This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap
or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects. Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.
This may degrade surface quality.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
