Basic features of  3D Eyewear
This product cannot be used as sunglasses.
This product can be worn over vision correction glasses.
 Part names and functions
You can enjoy 3D images by wearing the 3D Eyewear supplied with this TV and to view 3D broadcasts and 3D image software. Optional Accessories (p.8)
 Battery status shown by indicator lamp
Power/indicator lamp statusBattery status
Lights for 2 seconds when turned on Sufficient battery level
Flashes 5 times when turned on Low battery level
Flashes once every 2 seconds when in use Operating normally
Lights continuously when off Charging
Lamp off Power off
Indicator lampLights or flashes during use or 
charging to show the status of 
the rechargeable battery.
Infra-red receiverReceives infra-red signals from the television.
The liquid crystal shutter open/close timing is controlled by receiving \
infra-
red signals from the television, which provide 3D expression of the imag\
es.
If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signal from the television, the\
 power 
automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
Liquid Crystal Shutter 
(lens)
Controls the images for 3D 
viewing.
The left and right liquid crystal 
shutters are alternately opened 
and closed in time with the left 
side and right side images that 
are alternately displayed on the 
television to achieve the 3D effect.
Power switch (bottom side 
of 3D Eyewear)
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.
Charging portConnect the charging cable.

Using Precautions
 Liquid Crystal Shutter   Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear.    Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed \
instrument etc. 
Doing so may cause damage to the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image.   
 Infra-red receiver section  Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it\
.
•  Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the televi\
sion, which may prevent the 3D Eyewear from operating normally.   If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images ma\
y not be displayed correctly.
 Cautions During Viewing   Do not expose the infra-red receiver section to strong light such as dir\
ect sunlight and fluorescent light. The 3D image 
may not be displayed correctly.
  Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cell\
ular phones or personal transceivers) near 
the 3D Eyewear.  Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
  The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures.
Please use within the specified usage temperature range (p. 65).
  If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz)\
 are used, the light within the room may appear 
to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
   Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upsi\
de down or back-to-front.  Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or c\
alculators etc.) may be difficult to see while 
wearing the 3D Eyewear. (The polarizing axis does not match, causing the displays to appear b\
lack.)
Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images.
   Individual differences may occur in which the 3D images are difficult to see, or cannot be seen, especially in users that have a different 
level of eyesight between the left and right eyes. Take the necessary steps (wearing glasses etc.) to correct your eyesigh\
t before use. 
 For comfortable viewing  View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
 Recommended distance:    For a 32-inch television, 3’9” (1.2 m) or more.
  For a 37-inch television, 4’6” (1.4 m) or more.
  Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance \
may cause eyesight fatigue.
   When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as during \
some movies, view the screen at a distance 
3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the di\
stance closer than above recommended 
distance.)
 Viewing 3D images 
●When watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching\
 a movie. 
●When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or comp\
uters, take an appropriate length break 
after using for 30 - 60 minutes. Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigu\
e.
 Viewing 3D images
Using the television menu controls, set so that 3D images are shown. 
●You can watch 3D images in the following cases:
•  When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played on a 3D image supporti\
ng player/recorder connected using a 
HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting television.
•  3D image supported broadcast (program)
•  3D Photo, 3D Movie taken by LUMIX/Camcorder. 
•  2D->3D (Simulated 3D) 
 p. 56
Wearing the 3D Eyewear   Set the power switch to “ON”.
(The indicator lamp will light for approximately 2 seconds, then flash \
once approximately every 2 seconds.)
 Put on the 3D Eyewear
ViewWhen the HDMI receives information in which 3D mode is detected, 3D imag\
es are automatically displayed 
according to the signal.
If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or the images cause discomf\
ort, the images can be adjusted by “3D 
format select” or “3D settings”.
 
●Change the view 3D ⇔
2D, 3D settings (p. 25)
After Use  Set the 3D Eyewear power switch to “OFF”.
(The 3D Eyewear indicator lamp turns off, and the power turns off.)
 After using the 3D Eyewear, store it in the case provided.

Safety precautions Displays message for viewing 3D images.
*  The perceived three dimensional effects of the 3D Eyewear differ from person-to-person.
*  If a signal received from an external device is different from the 3D setting of the TV, such as 2D signal when the TV is set to  3D mode, the images may not be displayed correctly.
