the 3D Eyewear. The supplied 3D Eyewear can be worn
over vision correction glasses.
●

■ Viewing 3D Images
Caution
●
Pay special attention when children are viewing 3D
images. 3D images should not be viewed by children
younger than about 6 years old, as a guideline.
All children must be fully supervised by parents or
guardians who must ensure their safety and health
while they are viewing 3D images.
●
Stop viewing 3D images immediately if you feel tired,
feel unwell, experience any other uncomfortable
sensation or clearly see double images. Take an
appropriate break before continuing to view. When you
set the 3D effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into
account that the vision of 3D images varies among
different individuals.
●
Do not view 3D images if you have a history of
oversensitivity to light, heart problems or any other
medical conditions.
●
When viewing 3D images, your sense of distance may
be tricked or go wrong. Be careful not to hit the TV
screen or other people unintentionally. Ensure there
are no breakable objects around you to avoid any
accidental damage or injury.
●
Do not view 3D images from a distance shorter than
recommended. The recommended viewing distance is
at least 3 times of the image height.
42-inch model
: 1.6 m or more
50-inch model
: 1.9 m or more
55-inch model
: 2.1 m or more
When black bands at the top and bottom of the screen
are displayed, such as movies, view the screen from
a distance at least 3 times the height of the actual
image. (That makes the distance shorter than the
recommended values above.)
