About viewing 3D images
You can use the projector to view 3D videos by 
playing Blu-ray 3D compatible discs on a 3D Blu-ray 
player. This projector can also convert 2D videos to 
3D for viewing.
To enjoy stereoscopic 3D images, Panasonic 3D 
Eyewear (optional accessory) is necessary. 3D 
Eyewear is not included with this projector.
See page 101 for the 3D image signals supported.
Supported 3D Eyewear (as of September 2012)
Panasonic
TY-EW3D3 Series (rechargeable)
TY-EW3D2 Series (rechargeable)
TY-EW3D10 Series (disposable battery)
The product number of the 3D Eyewear differs 
depending on the country of purchase.
 
■ Viewing 3D images
Using the projector menu controls, set so that 3D 
images are shown.
 
z 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 
projector.
-    2D->3D (Simulated 3D) (
 page 69)
1)   Wearing the 3D Eyewear
 
z Switches on the 3D Eyewear power.
 
z Put on the 3D Eyewear
2)  
View
 
z When the HDMI receives information in which 3D 
mode is detected, 3D images are automatically 
displayed according to the signal.
 
z If the 3D images are not displayed correctly or 
the images cause discomfort, the images can be 
adjusted by [3D INPUT FORMAT].
3)  
After Use
 
z Switches off the 3D Eyewear power.
Attention
 
z Avoid keeping the 3D Eyewear at a location with high 
humidity and high temperature. For details on care 
and maintenance of 3D Eyewear, see the operating 
instructions of 3D Eyewear.
Attention
 
z When using 3D Eyewear, also see the operating 
instructions of the 3D Eyewear.
 
z When viewing 3D videos, be sure to set [3D IR 
TRANSMITTER] to one of [STRONG], [MEDIUM], 
or [WEAK]. If an external 3D IR Transmitter (optional 
accessory) is connected, set the corresponding 
[TRIGGER 1/2 SETTING] to [3D SHUTTER OUT].
(
 page 79)
 
z When 3D Eyewear is used indoors with fluorescent lights 
on, the light may appear to flicker. In such a case, turn off 
the fluorescent lights.
 
z If the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or backwards, 
the 3D video cannot be seen correctly.
 
z When viewing 3D display, turn on the power supply for 
the 3D Eyewear and then put it on.
 
z Do not use devices that generate strong electromagnetic 
radiation (such as cell phones, handheld radios, etc.) 
close to the 3D Eyewear. This may cause the 3D 
Eyewear to malfunction.
 
z The 3D Eyewear cannot exhibit sufficient performance 
at high or low temperatures. Follow the operation 
temperature range specified in the operating instructions 
for the 3D Eyewear.
 
z It may be difficult to view other displays (such as the 
computer screen, digital clock, calculators etc.) while 
wearing the 3D Eyewear. Remove the 3D Eyewear when 
viewing other than 3D videos.
 
z When the projector is installed alongside another 3D 
compatible display, the 3D videos may appear double 
due to the effect of the devices on each other. Install the 
projector after thoroughly considering the installation 
location.
Note
 
z If the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or backwards, 
the 3D video cannot be seen correctly.
 
z When viewing 3D display, turn on the power supply for 
the 3D Eyewear and then put it on.
 
z The stereoscopic image effect experienced with the 3D 
Eyewear may vary with individuals.
 
z The projection screen size when displaying 3D videos is 
up to 5.08 m (200").

Basic Operation
Communication range of a 3D 
IR Transmitter and 3D Eyewear
The IR signals for controlling the 3D Eyewear 
transmitted from the 3D IR Transmitter reach the 3D 
Eyewear after being reflected by the screen.  
The communication range between the 3D IR 
Transmitter and 3D Eyewear is as shown below.
 
Screen          3D Eyewear
Approx. 5 m (16'5")
Approx. 4 m (13'1") Approx. 4 m (13'1")
The diagram above shows the communication range 
under the following conditions:
-   When the distance between the projector and the screen is 
6 m (19'8").
  -   When the projector is arranged in front of the screen 
without performing lens shift.
 
Screen
6 m (19'8")
- When using a 2.54 m (100"), screen gain [1], diffuser screen.
- When [3D IR TRANSMITTER] is set to [STRONG].
-   When there is no effect of strong light from the sun or from 
a fluorescent lamp.
Note that the communication range may differ greatly depending 
on the type and material of the screen. 
 
z The 3D Eyewear may not correctly receive infrared control 
signal in the following cases.
-  
When there is an obstacle between the projector and the 
screen.
-   When dirt or dust has accumulated  on the 3D Eyewear 
transmitter.
-   When the 3D Eyewear is not facing the screen.
 
z Remove the lens shift cover if you cannot see 3D video. 
The communication range may increase.
 
z If you wish to view 3D images in an environment that does 
not fulfil the previously noted conditions, please purchase 
an external 3D IR Transmitter (optional accessory).
 
z If communication between the 3D IR Transmitter and 3D 
Eyewear is lost, either recharge or replace the battery of 
the 3D Eyewear. (
 page 94)
Cautions when using 
3D 
Eyewear
 
z Do not use devices that generate strong electromagnetic 
radiation (such as cell phones, handheld radios, etc.) 
close to the 3D Eyewear. This may cause the 3D 
Eyewear to malfunction.
 
z Do not expose the 3D Eyewear to direct sunlight, 
fluorescent light or other strong light as 3D video may not 
be viewed correctly in some cases.
 
z The 3D Eyewear cannot exhibit sufficient performance at 
high or low temperature.
 
 Follow the operation temperature range noted in the 
operating instructions for the 3D Eyewear.
 
z Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. If they are worn upside 
down or backwards, the solid body image will not be 
seen correctly.
 
z It may be difficult to view other displays (such as the 
computer screen, digital clock, calculators etc.) while 
wearing the 3D Eyewear. Remove the 3D Eyewear when 
viewing other than 3D videos.
 
z Rechargeable 3D Eyewear cannot be charged with 
this projector. If you do not have a Panasonic 3D TV, 
use a charger that has a USB2.0 port for charging your 
Eyewear. The recommended charger is Apple USB 
Power Adapter for iPhone.
Note
 
z After finishing the 3D video, place the 3D Eyewear in 
their glass case and store avoiding places with high 
humidity and high temperature.
 
z Please see the operating instructions for the 3D Eyewear 
regarding cleaning of the 3D Eyewear.
 
z While wearing 3D Eyewear and viewing 3D movies under 
a modulated fluorescent light, your field of vision may be 
tinted red or blue in cycles of 2 - 3 seconds. Change the 
brightness of the light so that it does not have any effect 
on viewing.
