Viewing 3D images

To view 3D content, you must first connect a 3D-compatible video device to one of the HDMI ports on your projector. You will also need a pair of Epson (part number V12H548006) or Epson-compatible RF 3D active shutter glasses

1. Turn on and begin playback on the 3D-compatible video device.

3. Slide the power switch on your 3D glasses to the On position.
   

Note: If the glasses don't automatically display 3D content, you may need to pair them with the projector. Move the glasses within 10 feet (3 m) of the projector, then press and hold the Pairing button on the 3D glasses for at least 3 seconds. The status light on the glasses will alternately flash green and red, then remain green for 10 seconds if pairing is successful.
