Viewing 3D images on TV (Continued)
Viewing 3D images
Using the television menu controls, set so that 3D images are shown.  You can watch 3D images in the following cases: (As of February 2010) •  When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played on a 3D image supporti\
ng player/recorder connected using a  HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting television.
•  3D image supported broadcast (program)

Wearing the 3D Eyewear 
  Press and hold the power button on the 3D Eyewear for approximately 1 se\
cond.  (The Indicator lamp lights for approximately 2 seconds.)  
  Put on the 3D Eyewear.If the 3D Eyewear slips out of place, hold it in place using the special\
ized band, 
and adjust the length of the band. (p. 23)
If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or the images cause discomf\
ort, the 
images can be adjusted by following this procedure.
* 
The perceived three dimensional effects of the 3D Eyewear differ from person to person.

  Viewing 3D images on TV
Using Precautions 
 Liquid Crystal Shutter   Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or 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 ma\
y 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 (p. 22).
  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 upsi\
de 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. (The polarizing axis does not match, causing the displays to appear b\
lack.)
Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images.
   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 eyesigh\
t before use.
 For comfortable viewing   View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
 Recommended distance:    For a 50-inch television, 6’2” (1.9m) or more. 
For a 54-inch television, 6’6” (2.0m) 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 during \
some movies, view the screen at a distance 
3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the di\
stance closer than above recommended figure.)
Storage and Cleaning
  Clean using a soft, dry cloth.Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt \
may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the cloth before use.Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.  Do not submerge the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning.  Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.
Troubleshooting/Q&A
•  Is “3D Eyewear” set to “On”?
Switch “3D Eyewear” set to “On”.
•   Is “3D input format” set correctly? When the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is not detected, 3D \
images are not automatically displayed.
Adjust “3D input format” according to the 3D images.
•   Is there a sticker or other such item blocking the infra-red reception s\
ection  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.
Images are not 3D
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 s\
ection  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 signals from the television, th\
e power automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
•   Are the left and right sides of the 3D image reversed?
Switch “Left / Right swap” setting. (p. 24)There is something wrong with 
the 3D images
•   Is the battery level low? Battery is run out if the Indicator lamp does not light when the power b\
utton is 
held down more than 1 second. Please replace the battery. Indicator lamp does not light 
when the 3D Eyewear power 
button is pressed
