Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear. 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. 29)

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. For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more. For a 50-inch television, 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 of the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)
