To view the 3D images
Viewing 3D images
To view the contents of the Frame Sequential format (ex. 3D-compatible Blu-ray Disc, etc.) with 3D effect
Connect the 3D-compatible player via an HDMI cable (see page 14) and playback the contents.
•  Use fully wired HDMI compliant cable.
•  For the settings of the player, read the manual of the player.
•  If you use the non 3D-compatible player, the images will be displayed without 3D effect.
To view the contents of 3D formats other than Frame Sequential with 3D effect.
Match the picture format in “3D INPUT FORMAT” (see page 47) before viewing.
•  You can view “SIDE BY SIDE” and “TOP AND BOTTOM” with 3D effect even if you use the non 3D-compatible player.
•  Please consult the suppliers of contents or programmes for availability of this service.
 Turn the 3D Eyewear on
    •  Press the power button on the 3D Eyewear for about 1 second. (see page 23)
 Put on the 3D Eyewear
    •  If the 3D Eyewear slips out of place, hold it in place using the specialised band, and adjust the length of the band. 
(see page 24)
 Watch the 3D images
To turn the 3D Eyewear off
     After using the 3D Eyewear, press the power button on the 3D Eyewear for about 1 second to turn it off. (see page 23)
Notes:
•  If the room is lit by  uorescent lights (50 Hz) and light appears to  icker when using the 3D Eyewear, switch off the 
 uorescent light.
•  3D content will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
•  Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D images. Liquid crystal displays (such as computer 
screens, digital clocks or calculators, etc.) may be dif cult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear.
•  Do not use the 3D Eyewear as sunglasses.
•  3D effects may be perceived differently depending on the person.

Troubleshooting for 3D Eyewear 
Table of images that can be seen for each 3D Picture 
Format and the source image format
Symptoms Checks
Cannot see 3D images •  Has the 3D Eyewear been switched On?
•  Ensure that “3D EYEWEAR” in “3D SETTINGS” is set to “ON”. (see 
page 47)
•  Some 3D image signals may not be automatically recognized as 3D 
images. Set “3D INPUT FORMAT” in “3D SETTINGS” to match the 
picture format. (see page 47)
•  Check that there are no obstacles between the infrared sensors on 
the display and the 3D Eyewear. If the 3D Eyewear stops receiving the 
infrared signal for about 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear will be turned off 
automatically.
•  Check the available area to use the 3D Eyewear. (see page 25)
•  Depending on the person, the 3D images may be dif cult 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 eyesight 
before use.
3D Eyewear is turned off automatically •  Check that there are no obstacles between the infrared sensors on the 
display and the 3D Eyewear or that the 3D Eyewear is placed inside 
the coverage area (see page 25). If the 3D Eyewear stops receiving the 
infrared signal for about 5 minutes, the 3D Eyewear will be turned off 
automatically.
There is something wrong with the 3D 
images•  Check the setting of “LEFT/RIGHT SWAP”. (see page 47)
The indicator lamp does not light when 
pressing the power button on the 3D 
Eyewear•  The battery may be running low or  at. Replace it.
•  If the indicator lamp does not light after the power button has been 
pressed for more than 1 second, the battery may be running low or  at. 
Replace it.

Adjusting POS. /SIZE
 AUTO SETUPH-POS/V-POS, H-SIZE/V-SIZE, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE are automatically adjusted when 
the RGB or PC signal is received.
This setting is enabled under the following conditions:
•  When “COMPONENT/RGB-IN SELECT” or “YUV/RGB-IN SELECT” in the “SET UP” menu (see 
page 44) is set to “RGB”, this setting is enabled.
•  When the signal is not PC format, this setting is enabled only if “OVER SCAN” (see page 30) 
is “OFF” or “1:1 PIXEL MODE” (see page 30) is “ON”, and H-SIZE/V-SIZE is not automatically 
adjusted.
This setting will be invalid and will not work under the following conditions:
•  Aspect is set to “JUST”
•  “UNDER SCAN” is set to “ON”
Using Remote Control
When  on the remote control is pressed, “AUTO SETUP” will be executed.
When AUTO SETUP does not work, “INVALID” is displayed.
Auto mode
When the “Auto Setup“ is set to “Auto” in the OPTIONS menu (see page 56), automatic position 
adjustment starts:
• When the display power is turned ON.
• When the input signal is switched.
 H-POSAdjust the horizontal position. V-POSAdjust the vertical position.
 H-SIZEAdjust the horizontal size. V-SIZEAdjust the vertical size.
 DOT CLOCK(During Component, RGB and PC input signal)
Periodic striped pattern interference (noise) may occur when a striped pattern is displayed. If this 
happens, adjust so that any such noise is minimized.
 CLOCK PHASE(During Component, RGB and PC input signal)
Eliminate the  ickering and distortion. Notes:
•  If the dot clock frequency is 162 MHz or higher, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be 
made.
•  When digital RGB signal input, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
•  AUTO SETUP may not work when a cropped or dark image is input. In such case, switch to a 
bright image with borders and other objects are clearly shown, and then try auto setup again.
•  Depending on the signal, out of alignment may occur after AUTO SETUP. Carry out  ne tuning for 
the position/size as required.
•  If AUTO SETUP cannot set properly for vertical frequency 60Hz XGA signal (1024×768@60Hz, 
1280×768@60Hz, and 1366×768@60Hz), pre-selecting the individual signal in “XGA MODE” (see 
page 48) may results in correct AUTO SETUP.
•  AUTO SETUP does not work well when a signal such as additional information is superimposed 
out of valid image period or intervals between synchronizing and image signals are short, or for 
image signal with tri-level synchronizing signal added.
•  If AUTO SETUP cannot adjust correctly, select “NORMALIZE” once and press OK button then 
adjust POS. /SIZE manually.

tinged with green.
Optimum value for Clamp Position adjustment
When black parts have no detail due to underexposure (blackout)
Value that causes least blackout is the optimum.
When black parts are tinged with green
