Angle of the 3D glasses
The 3D glasses can be used by receiving an infrared
signal sent from the TV.
The 3D glasses turn off automatically after three
minutes if no signal is received from the TV.
Operating range
From directly in front of the infrared transmitter
on the TV: approx. 5 m (within approx. 30°
horizontally and 20° vertically)
NOTE
• The 3D infrared emitter lights in 3D mode.
Attaching the nose pad
Attach either of the supplied nose pads as needed
(such as when the glasses do not fit properly). The
glasses come with a large and small nose pad.

Attaching the 3D glasses band
Attach the supplied 3D glasses band strap as
needed (such as when the glasses do not fit
properly). Insert the ends of the 3D glasses into the
3D glasses band until they are secure.
• Pull the cord stopper on the strap to adjust the strap
length.
Cautions for 3D image viewing
You can use special 3D glasses to watch
3D-supported images on this TV.
• You can enjoy 3D movies on this TV by viewing the
movie through 3D glasses, sold separately.
• To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D
glasses alternately open and close imperceptibly fast
to exactly match alternating left and right video images
displayed by the TV.
• Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3D TV.
Some people suffer from stereo blindness which
prevents them from perceiving the intended depth of
3D entertainment. Also, some people who watch 3D
programming may experience initial feelings of motion
sickness as they adjust to the picture. Others may
experience headaches, eye fatigue or continued motion
sickness, or some viewers might also experience
epileptic seizures or strokes. Like a roller coaster, the
experience is not for everyone.
CAUTION
• The 3D glasses are precision equipment. Handle them
with care.
• Improper use of the 3D glasses or failure to follow these
instructions can result in eye strain.
• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort
while viewing 3D images, immediately discontinue use
of the 3D glasses. Using the binocular disparity 3D
system of this TV with incompatible 3D broadcasts or
software can make images appear with a cross talk blur
or create overlapping images.
• When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a
break periodically to prevent eye strain.
• If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism
or a different level of eyesight between the left and
right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such
as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before
viewing 3D images. The 3D glasses can be worn over
eyeglasses.

• 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.
