Read and understand the following safety information
before using the 3D function.

• Some viewers may experience discomfort while viewing
3D TV such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom, stop viewing 3D
TV, remove the 3D Active Glasses, and rest.

• Watching 3D images for an extended period of time
may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop
viewing 3D TV, remove your 3D Active Glasses, and
rest.

• A responsible adult should frequently check on children
who are using the 3D function.
If there are any reports of tired eyes, headaches,
dizziness, or nausea, have the child stop viewing 3D
TV and rest.

• Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other purposes
(such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, protective
goggles, etc.)

• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while
walking or moving around. Using the 3D function or 3D
Active Glasses while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and cause serious
injury.

• If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D device
(3D compliant AV receiver or TV) to the product’s HDMI
OUT port using a high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D
glasses before playing the 3D content.

• The product outputs 3D signals only through HDMI
