• When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D glasses
horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt
the 3D glasses with respect to the TV screen, the
images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear
significantly different or images may appear overlapping.
• View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV
screen. The recommended distance is three times the
effective height of the TV screen. Viewing should not be
done closer than the recommended distance.
• Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D
images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear
at a distance closer or farther than the actual TV screen.
This may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV
screen and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit
the screen or surrounding objects.
• The 3D glasses are not recommended for people aged
less than 6.
• When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a
parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing
3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort,
immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses.
• People with a known history of photosensitivity and
people with heart problems or poor health should not
use the 3D glasses. This can worsen existing health
conditions.
• Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes (such as
general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles).
• Do not use the 3D function or 3D glasses while walking
or moving around. This may result in injuries due to
running into objects, tripping, and/or falling.
• When using the 3D glasses, take care not to
accidentally strike the TV screen or other people.
Viewing 3D images may cause you to misjudge the
distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the
screen, resulting in possible injury.
• It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if
you are sleep deprived or if you have been drinking
alcohol.

Display format for 3D and 2D images

signals Selectable mode Description
3D mode
(using the 3D
glasses)
2D s 3D • Converts normal 2D images into 3D images.
Side by Side
• Creates 3D images from 3D images displayed
side by side. The image is split into a left and right
image, and then the images are stretched and
displayed sequentially to create a 3D image.
Top and Bottom
• Creates 3D images from 3D images displayed
on the top and bottom. The image is split into a
top and bottom image, and then the images are
stretched and displayed sequentially to create a
3D image.
2D mode
(without
using the 3D
glasses)
Side by Side s 2D
• Creates 2D images from 3D images displayed
side by side. Only the left image is stretched and
displayed. The image does not appear in 3D.
Top and Bottom s 2D
• Creates 2D images from 3D images displayed
on the top and bottom. Only the top image is
stretched and displayed. The image does not
appear in 3D.
