Simulated 3D Function (2D to 3D Conversion)
2D to 3D conversion is an easy task for your computer. Enjoy your 2D content (such as Blu-ray Disc™ media, DVDs, and recorded videos) in simulated 3D using the simulated 3D function. (The effect applies only to images displayed on the computer screen.)
3D Output
Output 3D content to a 3D-capable TV to enjoy it on the TV screen.
3D Input
Enjoy 3D content on your computer screen by connecting a 3D-capable device (such as a video game or a camcorder) to the HDMI INPUT port.

Safety Information
Viewing 3D images
Be sure to follow the instructions in the
manuals that came with your VAIO computer when viewing 3D images.
Some people may experience discomfort
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or using stereoscopic 3D-related software. Sony recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video images or using stereoscopic 3D-related software. The length and frequency of necessary breaks will vary from person to person. You must decide what works best. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop watching the 3D video images or using stereoscopic 3D-related software until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you believe necessary. You should also see the instruction manual of any other device or software used with this computer. The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or use stereoscopic 3D-related software. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.
If you see a double image or feel the 3D
effect is less pronounced while viewing 3D images, stop viewing.
Always wear the 3D glasses while viewing
3D images. Viewing 3D images without wearing the 3D glasses may cause discomfort.
Handling the 3D glasses
Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose
other than viewing 3D images on 3D-capable displays specified by Sony.
Do not drop or modify the 3D glasses.
If the 3D glasses are broken, avoid contact
of broken parts with your eyes or mouth.
Be sure to keep small parts out of the reach
of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges when bending the temple frames.
Warning regarding the use of the 3D glasses
Do not put the 3D glasses in a fire.
Do not disassemble the 3D glasses.
Do not use, charge, store, or leave the 3D
glasses near a fire, or in places with a high temperature, e.g., in direct sunlight, or in sun-heated cars.
Use only the supplied USB charging cable.
Do not charge the 3D glasses with anything
other than your computer or recommended USB charging AC power adapter. For details on Sony devices compliant with 3D, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device.
Do not allow water or foreign material to
enter the 3D glasses.

Notes on Viewing 3D Images
Correct posture for viewing 3D images
Always wear the supplied 3D glasses while viewing 3D images. Adjust the angle of the LCD screen so that your eyes are perpendicular to your computer screen and keep a distance of 2.5 feet (75 cm) or more from the screen. View 3D images using the 3D glasses, facing squarely towards the computer screen.
If you lie on your side or tilt your head while viewing 3D images, the 3D effect may be less pronounced or the color of the images may change.
3D sync transmitter communication range
The 3D glasses operate by communicating with the 3D sync transmitter on your computer. The approximate communication range of the transmitter is illustrated below: The range (angle and distance) varies depending on ambient environment and the location where you use the computer.

Do not use any infrared communication device near the 3D sync transmitter on the computer, as it may prevent the 3D glasses from receiving the 3D transmitter signal.
