• The use of 3D glasses could interfere with
other IR communication devices. Other IR
communication devices may cause the 3D
glasses not to work correctly. Use the TV
and 3D glasses in a place where they will not
interfere with other devices or products.
Notes on watching the TV
• 3D effect and image quality may vary
depending upon content quality and display
device capability/functionality/settings.
• If you use any device, such as a mobile phone
or mobile wireless device, near the 3D glasses,
the 3D glasses may not work correctly.
• Use the product in the following temperature
range; otherwise, the quality of the 3D image
or the reliability of the product cannot be
guaranteed.
- 3D glasses: 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F)
- TV: 0°C - 35°C (32°F - 95°F)
• If you use a fl uorescent light, it may fl icker
depending on the frequency of the light. In this
case, reduce the brightness of the fl uorescent
light, or use another light.
(It is not recommended to watch the TV in a
dark room, especially for children.)
• Wear the 3D glasses properly, otherwise you
may not see the correct 3D image.
• When not viewing 3D images on this unit,
take off the 3D glasses; otherwise, it may be
diffi cult to see the display on other products
such as PC, digital clock or calculator, etc.
About the connecting cable
• Use a high-speed and high-quality HDMI
cable when you connect a device such as 3D
compatible BD player or PC to the TV. When
you use a standard HDMI cable, 3D images
may not be shown.
Viewing 3D programming requires the follow-
ing:
• Compatible TOSHIBA 3D glasses (not
supplied)
• Compatible 3D playback device or 3D source
• 3D capable high quality HDMI cable
For 3D signal formats, see page 46.
Using the TV's features
Using 3D functions
Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D
format. A 2D signal can be viewed in either 2D
or 3D, and 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" (- page 25). 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 (TB). You
may have to choose the correct format if the TV
can not detect it automatically – see "selecting
3D format", next page.
Moreover, you can change 2D images to 3D
images by pressing the 3D button when viewing
in 2D.
Notes:
• When 3D format signal is not received, the
display mode will not switch to 3D.
• If the appropriate mode and format are not
selected, the 3D image will not display correctly.
• The Picture Size settings are not available for
3D Mode, 3D to 2D Mode and 2D to 3D Mode.
• There are individual differences in perception
of 3D images.
• When viewing 3D images, wear the 3D glasses.
• The Auto Format function is not available for
3D Mode, 3D to 2D Mode and 2D to 3D Mode.
• The Picture Position control is not available for
3D Mode, 3D to 2D Mode and 2D to 3D Mode.
• Depending on some condition will not be
displayed of the aspect ratio correctly on the
screen for 3D Mode, 3D to 2D Mode and 2D to
3D Mode.
• The 2D to 3D conversion function is activated
and controlled by you according to your
personal preferences.
• The 2D to 3D conversion function is meant for
enjoyment of 2D home video, and other 2D
content you create, in 3D according to your
personal preferences.
• The 2D to 3D conversion function is not
intended for use with pre-recorded 2D
copyrighted content owned by a third-party
unless the copyright owner has given direct or
indirect permission, or unless applicable law
permits such use.
• The picture at the edges of the screen may be
