Also do not sit near objects that could be
broken if accidentally hit.
• When viewing 3D images, always wear 3D
glasses.
Watching 3D images without specifi ed 3D glasses
may cause eye strain.
• Do not wear 3D glasses or watch 3D images
from steep angles or while lying down.
The 3D eff ect is lost in these conditions and eye
strain may result.
• It is recommended that the viewer's eyes and
3D glasses are level with the screen.
• If you have prescription eye glasses or contact
lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them.
Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear
may cause eye strain.
• If 3D images often appear doubled or if you
cannot see the images in 3D, stop viewing.
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
• Due to the possible impact on vision
development, viewers of 3D video images
should be age 6 or above.
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible
to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and
should be closely supervised to avoid prolonged
viewing without rest.
• For optimal 3D eff ect and to avoid eye fatigue
it is important that you properly select your
viewing position.
The best viewing position is at the indicated
viewing distance with your eyes at the same level
as the center of the display as shown below. The
center of the optimum viewing area varies from
set to set. The usable viewing area is generally
over the range shown in the table below (actual
angle not depicted in drawing).

IMPORTANT: If you see a double image, your eyes
are either too high or too low in relation to the
horizontal center of the screen. Adjust your position
so that it is closer to the center to avoid eye fatigue
and to enjoy optimum 3D eff ects.
