Specifics
• If a 3D TV broadcast is switched to 2D, the TV shows only
the 3D-left picture.
• 3D is not available in Multi view
Optimal 3D viewing
For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you:
• sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the
TV, but no further than 6 metres away.
• avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy
saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct
sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience.
Health warning
• If you or your family has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive
seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing yourself
to flashing light sources, rapid image sequences or 3D viewing.
• To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or
disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended
periods of time.
If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not
immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for
example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If
symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting
a medical professional first.
• Parents should monitor their children during 3D viewing and
ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned
above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under 6
years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet.
• Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than
watching 3D TV.
•
CHOKING HAZARD
- Do not let children under 6 years of
age play with the 3D glasses, they could choke on the battery lid
or battery (if present).
