Watch 3D Television; Operate Connected Products - Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Avant-55 User Manual

Watch 3D television

You can enhance the experience of watching television with 3D technology, for
example, when you want to watch movies, sports or nature films.
Important health and safety information for 3D pictures
Some viewers may experience discomfort while watching 3D television such as dizziness,
nausea and headaches. If you experience such symptoms, stop watching 3D television,
remove the 3D glasses and rest. Watching 3D television for an extended period of time
may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop watching 3D television, remove the 3D
glasses and rest. If you use eye glasses or contact lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them.
Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes. Adults should supervise children watching
3D television and ensure that they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned
above. It is recommended that children under 3 years do not watch 3D television.
If two sources are brought up on the screen at the same time or if teletext is brought up
in one picture and a source in the other, the television will always display a 2D mode.
Subtitles may not always be supported.
Viewing conditions
Place yourself in front of the screen, a little closer than when you normally watch 2D
television, and use the 3D glasses. The recommended distance between your viewing
position and the screen depends on the size of the screen and the picture resolution. If
you move too far to the left or right of the centre of the screen, or if you move too far up
or down, the quality of 3D television decreases.
You will get the best 3D experience if you darken the room, for example, switch off the
lights and draw the curtains. Especially lights behind and around the screen can cause an
irritating effect. We recommend not to watch 3D television in direct sunlight or bright
surroundings.
Activate 3D or 2D television
To watch films or other programmes suited for 3D, you must activate the 3D function
and put on the activated 3D glasses that are available from your retailer. Switch to 2D
mode again to watch television that is not suited for 3D, for example, the news.
You activate 2D and 3D television via the LIST button. If 3D signalling is available, the
television automatically switches to 3D when you select 3D and to 2D when you
select 2D. If 3D signalling is not available, a menu for 3D or 2D mode selection appears in
the display.
If 3D signalling is no longer available, the television automatically switches to the last
used mode for the current source. At channel and source change, the television switches
to Standard 2D.
