3D Setup Procedures
Normal Setup
For most new 3D video sources and displays, just connect the source and display to the Radiance. You will
get a 3D image, with the Radiance default settings of 3D output ‘Mode=Auto’ and 3D ‘Type=Auto’.
1. If starting with a unit in an unknown state, press “MENU 0999” to restore factory default settings
and save the new settings by pressing “MENU → Save → Save → OK → OK”.
2. Connect the Radiance outputs. If using only one Radiance output, use Output 1 if the Radiance
needs to pass audio, or Output 2 if not. If using an AVR, or audio Pre/Pro, connect it to Radiance
Output 1 and the display to Output 2.
3. Connect a video source that supports 3D to a HDMI input on the Radiance.
4. Turn on power to the display and video source.
5. You should now have a 3D image on your display.
Display Optimization
To get the best quality 3D image, on some displays, it is necessary to convert some or all of the 3D video
modes to a specific 3D output mode. Research the display specifications, to determine the optimum 3D
modes and types for your display.
For example; If a display shows 720p 3D video as a letterboxed image. You can set the Radiance to convert
720p 3D video to 1080p60 Side-by-Side 3D video, which is shown full screen on the display.
1. Set the appropriate Radiance output to “3D Capable” by pressing “MENU → Output → 3D
Options → Ok → (Out1/Out2) → Yes → Ok”.
2. For example; to set the Radiance 3D output to “1080p60” “Side-by-Side”, press “MENU → Output
→ Output Setup → 3D → Ok → Mode → 1080p60 → Type → SbyS → Ok”. Note: You need
to select a 3D output mode before you can select a specific 3D output type.
3. Save the new settings by pressing “MENU → Save → Save → OK → OK”.
Setup for Non-Compliant Displays
The Radiance also has settings to display 3D video on non-compliant displays.
1. If starting with a unit in an unknown state, press “MENU 0999” to restore factory default settings.
2. Connect the Radiance outputs. If using only one Radiance output, use Output 1 if the Radiance
needs to pass audio, or Output 2 if not. If using an AVR, or audio Pre/Pro, connect it to Radiance
Output 1 and the display to Output 2.
3. Connect a video source that supports 3D to a HDMI input on the Radiance.
4. Turn on power to the display, Radiance and video source.
5. Set the appropriate Radiance output to “3D Capable” by pressing “MENU → Output → Output
Setup → Ok → (Out1/Out2) → Yes → Ok”.
6. Save the new settings by pressing “MENU → Save → Save → OK → OK”.
Setup for Non-Compliant 3D Video Sources
The Radiance also has settings to display 3D video using 3D video from non-compliant video sources. It is
only necessary to manually set the 3D input mode on the Radiance if the video source doesn’t transmit that
it’s displaying a 3D mode.
1. If starting with a unit in an unknown state, press “MENU 0999” to restore factory default settings.
2. Connect the
Radiance outputs. If using only one Radiance output, use Output 1 if the Radiance
needs to pass audio, or Output 2 if not. If using an AVR, or audio Pre/Pro, connect it to Radiance
Output 1 and the display to Output 2.
3. Connect a video source that supports 3D to a HDMI input on the Radiance.
