    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 displays 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

    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 display in 2D.” Highlight Ye s  and press OK.
    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:
    e551d-A0
    Viewing Range: 6 - 9 feet
    Optimal Distance: 8 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 possible picture because he/she is looking 
    up at the TV.
    The viewers in the example below are not seeing the best 3D 
    picture.
    eye line
    Correct 3d Viewing distance and Angle
    In the examples below, all of the viewers are experiencing the 
    best possible 3D picture quality. 
    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 3D quality. 
    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 image quality is not good.• For the best image quality, view high-definition 
    programs using digital sources. Connect your devices 
    with hdMi cables.
    •  if you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the 
    channel may be low. ensure your antenna is connected

    high level of technology. however, sometimes pixels may 
    not display correctly.  these types of occurrences 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 noticeable.
    •  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 noticeable.
