Identifying Controls
 
„ Battery caseFitting the battery (page 9)
When using for the first time, remove the insulating sheet.  
(
page 7)
 
„ Liquid Crystal Shutter 
(lens) 
Controls the images for 3D viewing.
The left and right liquid crystal 
shutters are alternately opened 
and closed in time with the left 
side and right side images that 
are alternately displayed on the 
television to achieve the 3D effect.
 
„ Nose pad installation section (3D Eyewear inner section)
(page 7)
Specialized band can be attached 
here. (page 7)
 
„ Infra-red receiver Receives infra-red signals from the television. 
The liquid crystal shutter open/close timing is controlled by 
receiving infra-red signals from the television, which provide 3D 
expression of the images.
 
„ Power button (bottom side of 
3D Eyewear)
Switches on the 3D Eyewear power. 
Press and hold the power button for 
approximately 1 second to switch the 
power on, and the power lamp lights for 
approximately 2 seconds.
To switch the power off, press and hold the 
power button for approximately 1 second.

Using Precautions
 
„ Liquid Crystal Shutter (Lens) 
 
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop o\
r bend the 
3D Eyewear.
 
 
Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed \
instrument etc.  
Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D 
image.
 
„ Infra-red receiver section 
 
Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it\
.
• Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the televi\
sion, 
which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally.
 
 
If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the\
 
3D images may not be displayed correctly.
 
„ Cautions during viewing 
 
Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cell\
ular 
phones or personal transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear.  Doing so may cause the 
3D Eyewear to malfunction.
 
 
The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures.  
Please use within the specified usage temperature range (
page 11).
 
 
If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, 
the light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or 
switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
 
 
Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 
3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
 
 
Liquid crystal displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or c\
alculators etc.) 
may be difficult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D Eyewear 
when watching anything other than 3D images.

„ For comfortable viewing 
 
View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effectiv\
e height of the 
screen.
Recommended distance:
  For a 50-inch television  1.9 m (6’2”) or more
  For a 54-inch television  2.0 m (6’6”) or more
  For a 58-inch television  2.3 m (7’6”) or more
  For a 65-inch television  2.4 m (7’10”) or more
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may 
cause eyesight fatigue.
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies,\
 view the 
screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image\
.
(That makes the viewing distance closer than above recommended distance\
.)
 
 
Only use the 3D Eyewear for the specified purpose.
 
 
Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is cracked or broken.
Doing so may result in injury or eyesight fatigue.
 
 
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual.
In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic 
reaction.
 
 
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or 
itching on the nose or temples.
Prolonged use may cause such symptoms due to excess pressure, which may result 
in the user feeling unwell.
 
„ Viewing 3D images 
 
When watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching\
 a movie.
 
 
When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or comp\
uters, 
take an appropriate length break after using for 30 - 60 minutes.
Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.

„ Attach the specialized bandIf the 3D Eyewear slips out of place, use 
the specialized band included to hold it in 
place. 
Attach the band to the 
left and right tips of the 
frame, and adjust the 
length.

„ Attach the nose padIf required, use the included nose pad.
 
 
Nose pad A adjusts the attachment position 
of the 3D Eyewear between 2 vertical levels.   
(Slot 2 of the 3  protrusions on the 3D  Eyewear 
into the holes on nose pad A.)
 
 
When using nose pad B, ensure that all 
3 protrusions on the 3D Eyewear are inserted 
into the 3 holes on nose pad B.

Troubleshooting/Q&A
Images are not 3D.
 
 
Are the image settings switched to 3D images?
Some 3D image signals are not automatically 
recognized as 3D images.
Set the television images to “On”.
For details, see the television operating 
instructions.
 
 
Is there a sticker or other such item blocking 
the infra-red reception section on the 
3D Eyewear?
The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals 
from the television.  
Check that there are no objects blocking the path 
between the television and 3D Eyewear.
 
 
Individual differences may occur in which the 
3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be 
seen, especially in users that have a different 
level of eyesight between the left and right 
eyes.
Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to 
correct your eyesight before use.
The power of the 
3D Eyewear turns off 
by itself.
 
 
Are there any objects between the eyewear and 
television?
 
 
Is there a sticker or other such item blocking 
the infra-red reception section on the 
3D Eyewear?
The 3D Eyewear operates by receiving signals 
from the television.  
Check that there are no objects blocking the path 
between the television and 3D Eyewear.
 
 
If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signal 
from the television, the power automatically 
switches off after 5 minutes.
There is something 
wrong with the 3D 
images. 
 
Are the left and right sides of the 3D image 
reversed?
Switch the left and right sides of the 3D image.
For details, see the television operating 
instructions.
