What you need
This is a Passive 3D TV.
To watch 3D you need to :
• Tune to a TV channel that broadcasts programs in 3D
• Rent a movie in 3D from an online video store with Smart TV
• Watch a movie in 3D from a 3D Blu-ray Disc, a USB device,
or computer
12.2
The 3D glasses
When a 3D program is shown on screen, simply put on the 3D
glasses to watch the program in 3D.
Recommended viewing height
For best picture quality, when watching passive 3D, your eyes
should be level with the center of the screen.
12.3
Care of the 3D glasses
• Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent,
surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or
cracks.
• Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or
water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
• Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D
glasses.
• Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or cotton flannel) to clean
the lenses to avoid scratching them.
12.4
Watch 3D
To experience the best 3D effect while you watch 3D programs:
• Sit at a distance that is at least three times the height of the
TV screen.
• Do not sit more than 20 feet away.

Optimal 3D viewing
For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you:
• sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the
TV, but no further than 20 feet away.
• avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy
saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct
sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience.
