How to View 3D
How Theater 3D Works
Because our eyes have space between them, when we look around, we see two 
slightly different pictures. We never notice, because we are able to combine these 
pictures into one three-dimensional image.
The VIZIO Theater 3D HDTV takes advantage of this phenomenon to create a 
stunning 3D image. When displaying 3D content, the 3D HDTV actually disp\
lays 
two separate images at the same time—one for each eye.
Because Theater 3D glasses only allow each eye to see its intended image\
, your 
brain is able to process the picture in the same way as any other object you see. 
The final result is a stunning, life-like 3D picture.
What You Need to View 3D Content
To view 3D content, you will need:•	VIZIO	Theater	3D	HDTV
•	 3D	Blu-ray
™	player	with	a	Blu-ray	3D™	disc	(sold	separately)
•	 VIZIO	Theater	3D	Glasses
•	 3D-Ready	HDMI	cable	(sold	separately)
Watching Blu-ray 3D Content
To view Blu-ray 3D content:
1. Ensure you have the following equipment:
•	VIZIO	Theater	3D	HDTV
•	 3D	Blu-ray
™	player	with	a	Blu-ray	3D™	disc	(sold	separately)
•	 VIZIO	Theater	3D	Glasses
•	 3D-Ready	HDMI	cable	(sold	separately)
2.  Ensure the 3D Blu-ray player and your TV are connected with the 3D-Ready 
HDMI cable. 
3.  Turn the 3D Blu-ray player off. Press the Power/Standby button on the 
remote to turn the TV on.
4.  Press the INPUT button on the remote and select the input to which the 
Blu-ray player is connected (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, etc).
5.  Turn the 3D Blu-ray player on. Insert the Blu-ray 3D disc into the player.
6.  When the disc is loaded, select the Play Movie option in the disc’s main 
menu.
7.  The TV displays, “3D Content detected. Select YES to switch to 3D, NO\
 to

8.  Put on your Theater 3D glasses and enjoy the movie!

Getting the Best 3D Picture
For the best 3D viewing experience, VIZIO recommends that you install the TV 
with the viewing distance and viewing angle in mind. When viewing 3D content, 
it is important that you view the TV straight-on, or some of the 3D effect may be 
lost.
For your TV, VIZIO recommends:
E3D320VXE3D420VXE3D470VX
Viewing Range:4 - 6.5 feet5 - 8 feet6 - 9 feet
Optimal Distance: 5 feet6.5 feet 7.5 feet
Illustrations in this section are not drawn to scale. They are for 
instructional purposes only.
Incorrect 3D Viewing Distance and Angle
In the example below, two of the viewers are sitting too close to the TV for a good 
3D effect. In addition, the child on the floor is not seeing the best possi\
ble picture 
because he/she is looking up at the TV.
The viewers in the example below are not seeing the best 3D picture.
Too	Close	-	Losing	3D	Effects
Eye Line Correct 3D Viewing Distance and Angle
In the examples below, all of the viewers are experiencing the best possible 3D 
picture quality. 
Best	3D	-	TV	on	Stand
Eye Line
In this example, the viewers are sitting at a good distance. They are viewing the 
TV straight-on, close to the ideal eye line. They will experience good 3\
D quality.   
 
Best	3D	-	Tilt	Mounted
Eye Line
In this example, the viewers have mounted the TV on a Tilt Mount. They are at 
the correct distance and they are viewing the TV straight-on, close to the ideal eye 
line. They will experience good 3D picture quality.

The picture is distorted.•	Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the TV. Separate the 
TV from electrical appliances, cars, or flourescent lights.
•	 Ensure all cables are securely attached. 
The display image does not cover the entire screen. •	If you are in RGB mode (computer), ensure that H-Size and V-Position 
in the on-screen menu are set correctly.
•	 If you are using TV, AV1, AV2, or Component with 480i input, press 
the WIDE button on the remote to change the screen mode. 
The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or always lit. •	Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high level 
of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display correctly. 
These types of occurences are inherent to this type of product and do 
not constitute a defective product.  
I see “noise” or static on the screen. •	When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, 
the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s display 
capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in 
the image.
•	 If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be 
low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move 
the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal. 
When I change input source, the volume changes. •	The TV remembers the volume level on each input source. If the 
volume level on the new input source is higher or lower than the level 
on the source you switch from, the difference may be noticable.
•	 Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to adjust the 
volume.  When I change input source, the display image changes size.
•	The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If the 
viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one on the 
input source you switch from, the difference may be noticable.
