Watching 3D Video
Images
You can enjoy powerful 3D video images, such as from 3D
games and 3D Blu-ray Discs, using the optional Active 3D
Glasses (TDG-BT500A).
1
Turn on the HDMI equipment for 3D compatibility
connected to the unit, then play the 3D content.
For details on how to play 3D content, refer to the
operating instructions for the connected equipment.
2
Turn on the unit and project the 3D video image.
For details on how to project the image, see
“Projecting the Picture” (page 14).
3
Turn on the 3D glasses, and then put them on so that
they fit comfortably.
For details on how to use the 3D glasses, see “Using
the 3D Glasses” (page 15).
Tip
The factory default setting for “2D-3D Display Sel.” is “Auto” to
allow projecting 3D video images automatically when the unit
detects 3D signals.
• It may not be possible to display 3D video image, depending on
the type of signal. Set the “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “3D,” and “3D
Format” to “Side-by-Side” or “Over-Under” to suit the format of
the 3D content you want to watch (page 29).
• Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 15).
• There are differences in perception of 3D video images among
individuals.
• When the temperature of the usage environment is low, the 3D
effect may be diminished.
Adjusting/Setting the 3D functions
You can adjust/set the 3D functions with the “3D Settings”
of the Function
menu. For details, see “3D Settings”
(page 29).

3D glasses communication range
The following figure indicates the communication range of
the 3D glasses. If you try to watch 3D video images from
a distance greater than the communication range or install
the unit outside the communication range, the 3D glasses
may not be able to display the images properly. Also, the
distance varies depending on the environment of the room
and installation environment of the unit.
