Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by
wearing the 3D Eyewear (supplied). “Standard 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

Danger

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

Small Parts

3D Eyewear contains small parts (ferrite core, etc.) and must be kept out of reach of small children to

•

avoid accidental ingestion.

Disassembly

Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.

•

When disposing this 3D Eyewear, refer “Disposal” (p. 36) and disassemble properly for removing the

•

rechargeable battery.

Charging

Charge by connecting the included charging cable to the USB terminal of this 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

•

Caution

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

Do not drop, 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.

•

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.

•

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-P42VT30B : 1.6 m or more
TX-P50VT30B : 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 infrared 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.

mer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or
record to the external recorder, the USB HDD or the SD Card. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the

•

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. 104) and the
[Link Settings] (p. 45) 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.
For more information of the USB HDD / SD Card Recording. (p. 74, 116)
