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.)

16 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. 3D Eyewear 3D Eyewear set (2) • TY-EW3D2MA • 3D Eyewear can be worn over vision correction glasses. 3D Eyewear • N5ZZ00000223 3D Eyewear case Charging cable Ferrite core Part names and functions 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. Power switch Switches on the 3D Eyewear power. The 3D Eyewear is turned on by setting the power switch to “ON”. Set the power switch to “OFF” to turn off the 3D Eyewear. Indicator lamp Lights or flashes during use or charging to show the status of the rechargeable battery.
