Viewing 3D images
You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D Eyewear
(supplied).
This TV supports [Frame Sequential]∗1, [Side by Side]∗2 and [Top and Bottom]∗3 3D formats.
∗1 : The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition quality and alternately
played back
∗2, ∗3 : Other available 3D formats
• How to use the 3D Eyewear
(p. 16)
• How to view the 3D images
(p. 19)
Danger
Prohibition of Heating
• Do not put 3D Eyewear in fire, heat it or leave it in places that can get hot.
• 3D Eyewear contains a lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery, so heating may result in combustion or rupture that may
cause burns or fire.
Warning
Small Parts
• 3D Eyewear contains small parts (ferrite core, etc.) and must be kept out of reach of small children to avoid accidental
ingestion.
Disassembly
• Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.
• When disposing this 3D Eyewear, refer “Disposal” (p. 18) and disassemble properly for removing the rechargeable battery.
Charging
• Charge by connecting the included charging cable to the USB port of this TV. Charging with other devices may result in
battery leakage, heating or rupture.
• Do not use the included charging cable for uses other than charging
Caution
To enjoy 3D images safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.
3D Eyewear
• Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.
• Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.
• Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.
• Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
Viewing 3D Content
• Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing
medical conditions.
• Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other uncomfortable
sensation.
• When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different
individuals.
• Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.
• Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers.
• Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance between the
user and screen can be misjudged.
• The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.
• If you do not look toward the TV screen for a while when viewing 3D images, the 3D Eyewear may be turned off
automatically.
• If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), please
ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.
• Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.
• Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance.
The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of image height.
TX-P42VT30E : 1.6 m or more TX-P50VT30E : 1.9 m or more
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance at least 3 times
further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)

3D Eyewear Use
• Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear.
3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be fully
supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health throughout the using 3D Eyewear.
• Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any accidental damage or injury.
• Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.
• Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case supplied with the 3D Eyewear when not in use.
• Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.
• Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.
• Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.
• Do not use any devices that emit the infrared signals near the 3D Eyewear, as this may cause the 3D Eyewear false operations.
• Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong electromagnetic waves near the 3D
Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
• Do not expose the infrared receiver section to bright light such as direct sunshine and fluorescent light. The 3D image may
not be displayed correctly.
• Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.
• Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or skin irritation around the nose or temples.
• In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

Infrared receiver
Receives infrared signals from the TV.
• 3D Eyewear is controlled by receiving infrared signals from the TV, which allows you to view 3D images.
• If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signal from the TV, the power automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
Note
• Do not soil the infrared receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
Lenses - Liquid Crystal Shutter
Controls the images for 3D viewing.
• The left and right liquid crystal shutters are alternately opened and
closed in time with the images on the TV screen to achieve the 3D
effect.
Note
• Do not apply pressure to or scratch the surface of the liquid crystal
shutter.
