■ About built-in wireless LAN/Bluetooth
● 
 To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access 
point is recommended.
●   To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point 
mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the 
transfer rate will vary according to communication 
environment or connected equipments.
●   Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any 
wireless network (SSID *
1) for which you do not have 
usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result 
of searches. However, using them may be regarded 
as illegal access.
●   Check that the Access point supports WPS *
2.
 (If it does not support WPS, the encryption key of the 
Access point is required when configuring settings.)
●   Follow the instructions on the Access point setup 
screen and configure the appropriate security 
settings.
 For more details on setting of 

Access point, please 
refer to operating manual for the Access point.
●   We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless 
system between the built-in wireless LAN and 

Access 
point.
 Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and 
11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
●   If the wireless system of the Access point is changed, 
devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no 
longer be able to connect.
●   Data transmitted and received over radio waves may 
be intercepted and monitored.
●   Keep the TV away from the following devices as 
much as possible:
 Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that 
use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the 

TV 
failures such as malfunction may occur due to the 
radio wave interference.
●   When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., 
the 

TV might stop operating for the protection of the 
devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On / 
Off switch, then turn it On again.
 * 1     SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless 
network for transmission.

 Using Precautions
 
■ Cautions during viewing
● 
 Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not 
be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside 
down or back-to-front.
 
■ For comfortable viewing
● 
 View from at least the recommended distance 
(3 times the ef
fective height of the screen),
 Recommended Distance:  For a 55-inch television, 6.89 ft (2.1 m) or more
 For a 60-inch television, 7.55 ft (2.3 m) or more
 When the top and bottom area of the screen are 
blackened, such as when playing movies, view 
the screen at a distance 3 times further than 
the height of the actual image. (That makes the 
viewing distance closer than above recommended 
distance.)
●   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin 
feels unusual. In rare cases, the paint or materials 
used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic 
reaction.
●   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you 
experience any redness, pain, or itching on the 
nose or temples. Prolonged use may cause such 
symptoms due to excess pressure, which may result 
in the user feeling unwell.
 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 supporting 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
 1  Put on the 3D Eyewear
 2 View
 When the TV receives a 3D signal, it also tries to detect 
the 3D mode (format). 3D images are automatically 
displayed according to the signal.
 If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or the 
images cause discomfort, the images can be adjusted 
by “3D format select” or “3D settings”.
