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.
