Using 3D functions

Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D format. A 2D signal can only be viewed as 2D, but 3D can be viewed in either 2D or 3D. If the TV can detect the fact that a signal is 3D, it can change to 3D mode automatically – see “3D Auto Start”, below. Otherwise the user can change the viewing mode using the 3D button. Finally, the format of the 3D signal can be either Side by Side (SBS) or Top and Bottom (TAB). You may have to choose the correct format if the TV can not detect it automatically – see “selecting 3D format”, below.

Note:

•When 3D format signal is not received, display mode is not swiched to 3D.

•The 3D button is available in digital channels or HDMI input.

•If appropriate mode and format are not selected, 3D image is not correctly displayed.

•There will be restrictions on the Picture Size settings for 3D Mode and 2D Mode. Only Full and Native can be set.

•There are individual differences in perception of 3D images.

•When viewing 3D images, wear the 3D glasses.

Switching display mode or selecting 3D format

There are three modes for watching TV.
