3D Viewing Safety

Viewing 3D images through a television and 3D glasses 

aff ects diff erent people in diff erent ways. Please read 

and understand the safety warnings in the ‘safety 

information’ section of this manual before operating 

this television in 3D mode.

What is 3D

3D imaging uses a process known as stereography 

to generate the perception of a 3 dimensional image 

from a pair of 2 dimensional images. Each stereograph 

image pair contains a specific image for the viewer’s 

left eye and another image of the same scene, from a 

slightly diff erent angle for the viewer’s right eye. The 

slight variations between the left and right images 

of the same scene will ‘trick’ the viewer’s brain into 

constructing a 3 dimensional image just as it would 

process a normal image from both eyes. The 3D System 

used in this TV is the passive type which menas the 

glasses provided do not require batteries to provide 

your 3D experience.

Connecting a 3D Source

A 3D source is required in order for you to be able 

to view 3D images on your television. A 3D blu-

ray player(with a 3D disc) connected using a 1.4 

HDMI cable or 3D transmission directly to your TV is 

necessary to allow you to view 3D images. Your 3D 

television will not produce 3D images unless it has a 

3D source and it will not produce 3D images from 2D 

content.

Enabling 3D mode on your Television

Do not enable 3D mode on your television or use 

your 3D glasses in 2D mode otherwise you will see a 

distorted image.

To enable 3D mode on your television, ensure that you 

have already been through the initial set up process as 

outlined in this manual.

To view 3D content:

1. Connect your 3D source (such as a BLU-RAY player) 

to the HDMI connection using a 1.4 HDMI cable. Turn 

your 3D source on.

2. Press the input button on 

your remote control and 

select the relevant HDMI 

connection from the drop 

down menu as shown in 

fig.1.

• Press 

▼/▲ button to select 

the HDMI connection for 

your 3D source;

• Press OK/ 

► button to enter the input source;

•  Press OK button to enter the input source;

3. Press ‘ play’ on your 3D source to start playing the 3D 

content, the image you will see on your screen will 

be fuzzy.

The TV may automatically select the correct 3D 

mode for playing your content, but this is dependent 

upon your 3D source.  If it does not display correctly, 

refer to point 5 and manually select ‘framepacking’ 

mode, (this is generally the default for the UK).

4. Put on the 3D glasses for 3D eff ect

5. Select “3D Type” option in the PICTURE menu and 

you will see a box in the 

top left hand corner of 

your television screen 

that shows you the 

3D mode that your 

television is in.

Pressing the 

button on your remote control will 

show you more options for the dierent types of 3D 

mode.

(Available 3D Type: 

Off ,Side by Side,Line by 

Line, Top Bottom,Frame 

Packing) Select the 

‘Frame Packing’ 3D 

Mode( this is generally 

the default for UK content).

6. 3D mode has now been enabled on your television . 

At this point you should put on your 3D glasses .

If viewing 3D content directly from a television 

transmission, follow steps 3 to 5 above to enable the 

correct 3D mode and begin viewing.

Using your 3D glasses

There are 2 pairs of linear polarized 3D glasses supplied 

with this television.  Linear polarized glasses require 

you to maintain your head in a vertical position.  

Tilting your head left to right can break the 3D eff ect 

because the content relies on one eye seeing the 

vertically polarized image and the second eye seeing 

the horizontally polarized image.  When the head is 

tilted the polarized lenses are no longer in line with the 

double image on the screen.

3D Viewing Guidelines

For the best 3D viewing experience stay within the 

viewing angle and at the optimum distance from your 

television.

Ensure that there are no obstacles between the 3D 

glasses and the television.

Viewing of 3D images on your television may be  

aff ected by fluorescent lights or direct sunlight. Please 

ensure that fluorescent lighting is switched off  and 

sources of direct sunlight are blocked before viewing 

3D content.
