some cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

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.

Viewing 3D images

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
, [Side by Side]
∗
2
and [Top and Bottom]
∗
3
3D formats.
∗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.
•
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.)
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.
To view the 3D images
You can enjoy the 3D images in a variety of ways.
(Frame Sequential, Side by Side and Top and Bottom are the supported 3D format.)
■ Playing back 3D-compatible Blu-ray disc (Frame Sequential format)
•
Connect the 3D-compatible player via a fully wired HDMI compliant cable.
•
If input mode is not switched automatically, select the input mode connected to the player. (p. 28)
•
If you use the non 3D-compatible player, the images will be displayed on 2D mode.
■ 3D-supported broadcast
