Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 7-40/55 Getting Started - Manual (Page 18)

Watch 3D television
Activate 3D or 2D television
To watch films or other programmes suited for 3D,
you must activate the 3D function and put on the
activated 3D glasses that are available from your
retailer. Switch to 2D mode again to watch TV
that is not suited for 3D, for example, the news.
You can enhance the experience of watching television with 3D technology,
for example, when you want to watch movies, sports or nature films.
Viewing conditions
Place yourself in front of the screen, a little closer
than when you normally watch 2D television, and
use the 3D glasses. The recommended distance
between your viewing position and the screen
depends on the size of the screen and the picture
resolution. If you move too far to the left or right
of the centre of the screen, or if you move too far
up or down, the quality of 3D TV decreases. Note
that not all screens support 3D technology.
Contact your retailer for further information.
Important health and
safety information
for 3D pictures
Some viewers may experience discomfort while watching 3D TV such as dizziness, nausea and headaches. If you experience such
symptoms, stop watching 3D TV, remove the 3D glasses and rest. Watching 3D TV for an extended period of time may cause eye
strain. If you feel eye strain, stop watching 3D TV, remove the 3D glasses and rest. If you use eye glasses or contact lenses, wear the
3D glasses over them. Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes. Adults should supervise children watching 3D TV and ensure
that they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. It is recommended that children under 6 years do not watch 3D TV.

If automatic 3D signalling is available, the television automatically switches
to 3D when you select 3D and to 2D when you select 2D. If automatic 3D
signalling is not available, a menu for 3D or 2D mode selection appears on
the screen. See the next page for information about modes.
Important
You will get the best 3D
experience if you darken
the room, for example,
switch off the lights and
draw the curtains.
Especially lights behind
and around the screen
can cause an irritating
effect. We recommend
not to watch 3D TV in
direct sunlight or bright
surroundings.
