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.

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.

Projecting

This section describes how to operate the unit to view the picture from the equipment connected to the unit. It also describes how to adjust the quality of the picture to suit your taste.

Projecting the Picture

1 Power on both the unit and the
equipment connected to the unit.
2 Press INPUT to display the input
palette on the screen.
3 Select the equipment from
which you want to display images.
Press INPUT repeatedly or press M/m/
(enter) to select the equipment from
which to project.
Example: To view the picture from
the video equipment connected to the HDMI 1 connector of this unit.
To view the picture from Press INPUT
RGB equipment connected to the INPUT A connector
Component equipment connected to the Y P
R/CR connector

Equipment connected to the HDMI 1 connector
Equipment connected to the HDMI 2 connector
Tips
• When “Auto Input Search” is set to “On” on the Function menu, only input terminals 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 displayed, synchronizing with the operation of the equipment connected to HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input of the unit. (Only when the connected equipment supports Control for HDMI compatible.)

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.
