Inverting	the	order	of	displaying	the	images	for	left	eye	and	right	eye	[L/R	INVERT]
This function changes the order of displaying the images for left eye and right eye.
Change	the	setting	if	you	have	difficulty	seeing	3D	images.
•	 Each	time	you	press	the	PICTURE	button	on	the	remote	control,	the	following	menu	items	will	change:
	 [L/R	INVERT]	→	[CONTRAST]	→	[BRIGHTNESS]	→ ...

®	Link],	this	function	is	not	available.
NOTE:
•	 If	 3D	content	 is	played	 back	on	your	 computer	 and	the	performance	 is	poor	 it	may	 be	caused	 by	the	 CPU	 or	graphics	 chip.	In	this	
case	 you	may	 have	 difficulty	 seeing	the	3D	images	 as	they	 were	 intended.	 Check	to	see	 if	
your	 computer

	meets	 the	requirements	
provided	in	your	user's	manual	included	with	your	3D	content.
•	 The	 DLP
®	Link	 compatible	 LCD	shutter	 eyeglasses	 allow	you	to	view	 3D	images	 by	receiving	 synch	signals,	 which	are	included	
in	 left	 eye	 and	 right	 eye	images,	 reflected	 from	the	screen.	 Depending	 on	environments	 or	conditions	 such	as	the	 ambient	 bright-
ness,	screen	size	or	viewing	distance,	the	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	may	fail	to	receive	synch	signals,	causing	poor	3D	images.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	[3D]	will	be	displayed	in	the	[SOURCE]	menu.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	the	Keystone	correction	range	will	be	narrower.
•	 When	the	
3D

	mode	is	enabled,	the	following	settings	are	invalid.
	 [WALL	COLOR],	[PRESET],	[REFERENCE],	[COLOR	TEMPERATURE]
•	 Refer	to	the	[SOURCE]	screen	under	the	[INFO.]	menu	for	information	on	whether	the	input	signal	is	3D	compatible.
•	 Signals	other	than	those	listed	below	will	be	out	of	range	or	will	be	displayed	in	2D.
