What you need
This is an Easy 3D TV.
To watch 3D you need to :
•
tune to a TV channel that broadcasts programmes in 3D
•
rent a movie in 3D from an online video store with Smart TV
•
watch a movie in 3D from a 3D Blu-ray Disc, a USB device or
computer
For an extra pair of glasses order the Philips Passive 3D glasses
PTA417 or PTA426 (sold separately). Other 3D glasses might
not be supported.
5.2
Your passive 3D glasses
Using the glasses
When a 3D programme is shown on screen, simply put on the
3D glasses to watch the programme in 3D.
Recommended viewing height
For best picture quality, when watching passive 3D, your eyes
should be level with the centre of the screen.
Care of the 3D glasses
•
Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or cotton flannel) to clean
the lenses to avoid scratching them.
•
Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent,
surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or
cracks.
•
Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or
water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
•
Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D
glasses.

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 meters 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.
