Using 3D Functions - Toshiba 47VL800A Owner's Manual

Notes on handling the 3D glasses:
• When cleaning the 3D glasses, gently wipe with a
dry, soft cloth.
- First, remove any dirt or dust from the 3D Glasses.
- Harsh rubbing or use of a dirty or coarse cloth
will scratch the 3D Glasses.
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, alcohol, water,
or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the 3D
glasses.
• When not using the 3D glasses, avoid storing them
in areas of high heat and humidity.
• Do not store the 3D glasses in areas of extreme
heat or cold, as deformation can occur. If
deformation occurs, replace the 3D glasses.
• The lenses of the 3D glasses are different from
those of ordinary glasses, and are very thin. Be
very careful in handling the 3D glasses as the lens
can be popped out easily.
• Do not put excessive force on the lenses.
• Do not scratch the surface of the lenses with sharp
objects.
• Do not drop or bend the 3D glasses.
• The 3D glasses are not subject to repair. If the
glasses are broken or scratched, purchase a new
pair of 3D glasses.
• The 3D glasses are not subject to repair, but can
be replaced if a problem occurs due to an initial
fault with the glasses.
Notes on watching the TV:
• Proper 3D effects or 3D-to-2D conversion results
may not be obtained depending on the received
3D content.
• 3D effect and image quality may vary depending
upon content quality and display device capability/
functionality/settings.
• Wear the 3D glasses properly, otherwise you may
not see the correct 3D images.
• When not viewing 3D images, take off the 3D
glasses; otherwise, it may be difficult to see the
display on other products such as PC, digital clock,
or calculator, etc.
• Use the 3D glasses in the effective viewing angle
and distance(-page 31).
About the connecting cable:
Use a high-speed HDMI cable when you connect a device
such as 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc™ player or PC to the
TV� When you use a standard HDMI cable, 3D images
may not be shown correctly�
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 effects.

• 3D capable HDMI cable.

Using 3D functions

Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D format�
A 2D signal can only be viewed as 2D, but 3D can be
viewed in either 2D or 3D� If the TV can detect the fact
that a signal is 3D, it can change to 3D mode automatically
- see "3D Auto Start" below� Otherwise, you can change
the viewing mode using the 3D button� Finally, the format
of the 3D signal can be either Side by Side (SBS) or Top
and Bottom (TAB). You may have to choose the correct
format if the TV can not detect it automatically - see
"selecting the 3D format" below�
Notes:
• When 3D format signal is not received, the display
• The 3D button is available on digital channels and
• If the appropriate mode and format are not
• There will be restrictions on the Picture Size
• There are individual differences in perception of 3D
• When viewing 3D images, wear the 3D glasses.
• The Auto Format function is not available for 3D
• The Picture position control is not available for 3D
• Depending on some condition will not be displayed
Switching the display mode or selecting the 3D format
