 rVIEWING 3D VIDEO
Those with a medical history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems\
, or poor physical health should 
not view 3D images.
This may lead to a worsening of medical conditions.
If you feel tiredness or discomfort, or other abnormality while viewing \
with 3D Eyewear, discontinue 
viewing.
Continuing use may cause health problems. Take a break as necessary.
When viewing 3D movies, aim to view one movie at a time and take a break\
 as necessary.
When viewing 3D images, for example when playing 3D games or using a PC \
where two way interaction  
is possible, take an appropriate break every 30 to 60 minutes.
Watching for long periods of time may cause eye fatigue.
When preparing contents, use contents properly created to be used for 3D\
.
This may cause eye fatigue or health problems.
When viewing 3D images, pay attention to people and objects in the vicin\
ity.
3D video may be mistaken for actual objects, and the related bodily movements can cause damage to objects 
and lead to injury.
Use 3D Eyewear when viewing 3D videos.
Do not tilt your head when viewing with 3D Eyewear.
Those who are near or far sighted, those with weaker eyesight in one eye\
, or those with astigmatism 
should use corrective glasses etc. when using 3D Eyewear.
If the image appears distinctly double when viewing 3D video, discontinu\
e viewing.
Watching for long periods of time may cause eye fatigue.
View at a distance of at least three times the effective height of the sc\
reen.
Viewing at distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eye fatigue. As with movies, if there are 
black bands at the top and bottom of the video, view at a distance of 3 times or more of the height of the video 
section.
Children younger than 5 or 6 years old should not use 3D Eyewear.
As it is difficult to gauge the reactions of children to fatigue and discomfort their condition may worsen suddenly
.
If a child uses the 3D Eyewear, guardians should beware of the child’s eyes becoming tired.
