Notes on 3D Playback for TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player The 3D playback function can play back 3D video content, and your 2Dhome video content and other 2D content created by you (DVD or videofile) in 3D using real-time 2Dto3D conversion.

The 3D playback function of the Player is meant for only personalhome use. Take note that applicable copyright laws might prohibit thepublic display when you offer 3D viewing of third party video contents
to unidentified personels or mass public.

apply a 3D effect to your own 2D videos. However, note that this function does not provide the same video content as a video originally
provided in 3D, and does not create a new video in the 3D format but only plays 2D videos in a 3D like mode.
The picture generated by 2Dto3D conversion function is not the same
as a picture produced for 3D playback use. The 2Dto3D conversion
function simply uses TOSHIBA's original algorithm to apply pseudo 3D effect to the 2D content.
The Player is set by default in the 2D format. By pressing the 2Dto3D
conversion function button, you decide to activate the 2Dto3D
conversion function and therefore decide to watch your 2D content in 3D. The Player will not run the 2Dto3D conversion function
