Notes
•Use a High Speed HDMI cable or a Premium High Speed HDMI cable. With a standard HDMI cable, images of 1080p, DeepColor, 3D video and 4K video may not be displayed properly.
•When connecting an HDMI cable to the unit, make sure the V mark on the upper part of the HDMI input of the unit and the V mark on the connector of the cable is set at the same position.
•If the picture from equipment connected to the unit with an HDMI cable is not correct, check the settings of the connected equipment.
•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.

Watching 3D Video
Images
You can enjoy powerful 3D video images, such as from 3D games and 3D Blu-ray Discs, using the optional Active 3D Glasses (TDG-BT500A).
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” (page 14).
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” (page 15).
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” (page 35).
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 (page 35).
•Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 15).
•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”
(page 35).
1 Turn on the 3D glasses, and register them on the unit.
For details on how to register the 3D glasses, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the 3D glasses.
2 Put on the 3D glasses.
3 Turn toward the screen.
Precautions for use
Misoperation may occur if:
•The viewing position is too far from the projector
•There are other communication devices, such as a wireless LAN (IEEE802.11 b/g/ n) or a microwave with a bandwidth of 2.4 GHz, near the unit
3D glasses communication range
Figure 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 distance varies depending on the environment of the room and installation environment of the unit.

Notes on switching the “Aspect” setting
•Select the aspect mode taking into account that changing the aspect ratio of the original picture will provide a different look from that of the original image.
•Note that if the unit is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original picture by switching the aspect may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or producers, which are legally protected.
