Depending on the broadcaster, the digital teletext (MHEG) services may not be available. In this case, the operation of the teletext services may be the same as the analogue teletext services (p. 26).

Digital teletext (MHEG)

Note

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.

Analogue teletext

What is FASTEXT mode?

In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are situated at the bottom of the screen. To access more information about one of these subjects, press the appropriately coloured button. This facility enables fast access to information on the subjects shown.

What is List mode?

In List mode, four differently coloured page numbers are situated at the bottom of the screen. Each of these numbers can be altered and stored in the TV’s memory. “Store frequently viewed pages” (p. 27)

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-P42ST31B : 1.6 m or more TX-P50ST31B : 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.)

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.
