Enjoying 3D Image Viewing (For the UQ17U, TQ15U, SQ17U, SQ15U and LE657U models)
ENG 5-1
Information
You can use special 3D Glasses to watch 3D-supported images on this TV.
You can enjoy 3D movies on this TV by viewing the movie through SHARP 3D Glasses
supplied with the TV or through optional 3D Glasses sold separately.
To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D Glasses alternately open and close
imperceptibly fast to exactly match alternating left and right video images displayed by the TV.
Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3DTV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness
which prevents them from perceiving the intended depth of 3D entertainment. Also, some
people who watch 3D programming may experience initial feelings of motion sickness as they
adjust to the picture. Others may experience headaches, eye fatigue or motion sickness. Some
viewers might also experience epileptic seizures. Like a roller coaster, the experience is not for
everyone.
CAUTION
The 3D Glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.
Improper use of the 3D Glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye
strain.
If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images,
immediately discontinue use of the 3D Glasses. Using the 3DTV with incompatible 3D
broadcasts or software can make images appear blurry or create overlapping images.
When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent
eye strain.
If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight
between the left and right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such as wearing
eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D Glasses can be
worn over eyeglasses.
When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D Glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If
you tilt the 3D Glasses with respect to the TV screen, the images viewed by the left and
right eyes may appear significantly different or images may appear overlapping.
View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended
distance is three times the effective height of the TV screen.
Examples of recommended distances
90-inch screen: Approx. 11.2 ft (3.4 m)
80-inch screen: Approx. 9.8 ft (3.0 m)
70-inch screen: Approx. 8.5 ft (2.6 m)
60-inch screen: Approx. 7.2 ft (2.2 m)
Viewing should not be done closer than the recommended distance.
Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images,
objects may appear closer or farther than they are. This may cause you to misjudge the
distance and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding
objects.
The 3D Glasses are not recommended for people aged less than 6.
When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor
children viewing 3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort, immediately
discontinue use of the 3D Glasses.
People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor
health should not use the 3D Glasses. This can worsen existing health conditions.
Do not use the 3D Glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses,
or protective goggles).
Do not use the 3D function or 3D Glasses while walking or moving around. This may
result in injuries due to running into objects, tripping, and/or falling.
When using the 3D Glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other
people. Viewing 3D images may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen
and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.
It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if you are sleep deprived or if you
have been drinking alcohol.
