Precautions
Safety precautions when using 3D
Glasses
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the ?/1
(ON/STANDBY) button, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Warning
• 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 cable.
• Do not charge the 3D Glasses with
anything other than the supplied USB
charging AC power adaptor.
• Do not allow water or foreign material to
enter the 3D Glasses.
Safety precautions
• Use only the type of 3D glasses included
with this unit. You should only use the 3D
glasses for watching 3D video images. Do
not use the 3D Glasses with other
equipment, such as TV.
• If you observe flickering or flashing, turn
off the lighting in the room.
• Not for use by children without proper
adult supervision.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the
temple frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken
pieces away from your mouth or eyes.
Caution
This unit is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do
not block or place anything near these holes,
or internal heat build-up may occur, causing
picture degradation or damage to the unit.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both computer’s display
and this equipment, the picture of the equipment may not appear properly. Set your computer to
output the signal to only the external monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your computer. For
settings of the computer, consult with the manufacturer of the computer.

Connecting to a 3D Sync Transmitter
This unit incorporates a 3D Sync Transmitter. Depending on the installation environment
of the unit, the 3D glasses may not receive 3D signals properly from the unit’s built-in 3D
Sync Transmitter. In this case, connect an optional 3D Sync Transmitter and place it near
your viewing position.

: 3D sync signal flow
Tip
Place the optional 3D Sync Transmitter directly facing the 3D glasses. Also, in order to stabilize
operation of the 3D glasses, it is recommended that you place the 3D Sync Transmitter near your
viewing position.
Connections and Preparations
CAUTION
Be sure to use straight-type LAN cable of up to 15 m labeled TYPE CM, and do not use
an extension cord.
Notes
• The 3D SYNC connector is dedicated for the optional 3D Sync Transmitter. Do not connect
computers or other network devices, to avoid malfunction.
• You can use a 3D Sync Transmitter separate from this unit, using an optional LAN cable (straighttype).
If the usage environment has interference of a continuous specific frequency, synchronization of
3D image signals and the 3D glasses may be lost. In this case, use a LAN cable labeled Category 7.
When watching 3D images in an environment that has even more interference, use the internal
transmitter.
• Be sure to use cable of up to 15 m, and do not use an extension cord. Also, keep the LAN cable
away from any AC power cords as much as possible.
• Only one 3D Sync Transmitter should be connected to the unit. Connecting multiple 3D Sync
Transmitters may cause a malfunction.
• When connected to the 3D Sync Transmitter, the built-in 3D Sync Transmitter feature of the unit
will turn off. You cannot use both at the same time.

with effective signals are displayed in the
input palette.
• When “Status” is set to “Off” on the Setup
menu, the input palette does not appear.
Press the INPUT button to switch between
input terminals in sequence.
• When the “Control for HDMI” is set to “On”
on the Function menu, the input terminal
with effective signals is automatically

of the equipment connected to HDMI 1 or
HDMI 2 input of the unit. (Only when the
connected equipment supports Control for

Turning Off the Power
1 Press the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY)
button.
A message “POWER OFF?” appears on
the screen.
2 Press the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY)
button again before the
message disappears.
The lens protector will close. Be careful
not to catch your fingers or any objects.
The ON/STANDBY indicator flashes in
green and the fan continues to run to
reduce the internal heat. First, the ON/
STANDBY indicator flashes quickly,
during which you will not be able to
light up the ON/STANDBY indicator
with the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY) button.
The fan stops and the ON/STANDBY
indicator changes from flashing green to
remaining red.
The power is turned off completely, and
you can disconnect the AC power cord.
Note
Never disconnect the AC power cord while
the indicator is flashing.
You can turn off the unit by holding the ?/1
(ON/STANDBY) button for about 1 second,
instead of performing the above steps.
Watching 3D Video Images
You can enjoy powerful 3D video images,
such as from 3D games and 3D Blu-ray
Discs, using the supplied 3D glasses.
1 Turn on the HDMI equipment for
3D compatibility connected to
the unit, then play the 3D
content.
For details on how to play 3D content,
refer to the operating instructions for the
connected equipment.
2 Turn on the unit and project the
3D video image onto the screen.
For details on how to project the image,
see “Projecting the Picture” (1 page
27).
3 Turn on the 3D glasses, and
then put them on so that they fit
comfortably.
For details on how to use the 3D glasses,
see “Using the 3D Glasses” (1 page
29).
Tips
• The factory default setting for ”2D-3D
Display Sel.” is “Auto” to allow projecting
3D video images automatically when the unit
detects 3D signals.
• To convert 3D video images to 2D video
images, set “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “2D”
(1 page 52).
28
Notes
• It may not be possible to display 3D video
image, depending on the type of signal. Set
the “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “3D,” and “3D
Format” to “Side-by-Side” or “Over-Under”
to suit the format of the 3D content you want
to watch (1 page 52).
• Use the 3D glasses within the
communication range (1 page 30).
• You can watch 3D video images only when
signals from HDMI input. When connecting
3D equipment such as a 3D game or 3D Bluray Disc player to the unit, use an HDMI
cable.
• There are differences in perception of 3D
video images among individuals.
• When the temperature of the usage
environment is low, the 3D effect may be
diminished.
Adjusting/Setting the 3D
functions
You can adjust/set the 3D functions by
pressing the 3D button on the remote control
or with the “3D Settings” of the Function
menu. For details, see “3D Settings” (1
page 52).
Using the 3D Glasses
The 3D glasses receive signals from the 3D
Sync Transmitter built into the front of the
unit, which are reflected to the glasses from
the screen. When watching 3D video images
using the 3D glasses, face squarely toward
the screen.
Precautions for use
The 3D glasses receive infrared signals sent
by the 3D Sync Transmitter built into the
front of the unit, which are reflected to the
glasses from the screen.
Misoperation may occur if:
– The 3D glasses do not face the screen
– There are objects blocking the path
between the 3D glasses and the screen
– The viewing position is too far from the
screen or the distance between the unit and
screen is too great
– There are other infrared communication
devices nearby

3D glasses communication range
Figures A and B below indicate the communication range of the 3D glasses. If you try to
watch 3D video images from a distance greater than the communication range or install
the unit outside the communication range, the 3D glasses may not be able to display the
images properly. Also, the viable angles and distance vary depending on the screen type,
environment of the room, and installation environment of the unit.
