Viewing 3D ImagesENGLISH- 35 Basic OperationViewing 3D ImagesAbout viewing 3D imagesYou can use the projector to view 3D videos by playingBlu-ray 3D compatible discs on a 3D Blu-ray player.This projector can also convert 2D videos to 3D forviewing.To enjoy stereoscopic 3D images, Panasonic 3DEyewear (optional accessory) is necessary. 3DEyewear is not included with this projector.See page 101 for the 3D image signals supported.Supported 3D Eyewear (as of September 2012)PanasonicTY-EW3D3 Series (rechargeable)TY-EW3D2 Series (rechargeable)TY-EW3D10 Series (disposable battery)The product number of the 3D Eyewear differsdepending on the country of purchase.■ Viewing 3D imagesUsing the projector menu controls, set so that 3Dimages are shown.z You can watch 3D images in the following cases:- When a 3D image supporting Blu-ray Disc is played ona 3D image supporting player/recorder connected usinga HDMI cable to a 3D image supporting projector.- 2D->3D (Simulated 3D) ( page 69)1) Wearing the 3D Eyewearz Switches on the 3D Eyewear power.z Put on the 3D Eyewear2) Viewz When the HDMI receives information in which 3Dmode is detected, 3D images are automaticallydisplayed according to the signal.z If the 3D images are not displayed correctly orthe images cause discomfort, the images can beadjusted by [3D INPUT FORMAT].3) After Usez Switches off the 3D Eyewear power.Attentionz Avoid keeping the 3D Eyewear at a location with highhumidity and high temperature. For details on careand maintenance of 3D Eyewear, see the operatinginstructions of 3D Eyewear.Attentionz When using 3D Eyewear, also see the operatinginstructions of the 3D Eyewear.z When viewing 3D videos, be sure to set [3D IRTRANSMITTER] to one of [STRONG], [MEDIUM],or [WEAK]. If an external 3D IR Transmitter (optionalaccessory) is connected, set the corresponding [TRIGGER1/2 SETTING] to [3D SHUTTER OUT].( page 79)z When 3D Eyewear is used indoors with fluorescent lightson, the light may appear to flicker. In such a case, turn offthe fluorescent lights.z If the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or backwards, the3D video cannot be seen correctly.z When viewing 3D display, turn on the power supply for the3D Eyewear and then put it on.z Do not use devices that generate strong electromagneticradiation (such as cell phones, handheld radios, etc.)close to the 3D Eyewear. This may cause the 3D Eyewearto malfunction.z The 3D Eyewear cannot exhibit sufficient performanceat high or low temperatures. Follow the operationtemperature range specified in the operating instructionsfor the 3D Eyewear.z It may be difficult to view other displays (such as thecomputer screen, digital clock, calculators etc.) whilewearing the 3D Eyewear. Remove the 3D Eyewear whenviewing other than 3D videos.z When the projector is installed alongside another 3Dcompatible display, the 3D videos may appear doubledue to the effect of the devices on each other. Install theprojector after thoroughly considering the installationlocation.Notez If the 3D Eyewear is worn upside down or backwards, the3D video cannot be seen correctly.z When viewing 3D display, turn on the power supply for the3D Eyewear and then put it on.z The stereoscopic image effect experienced with the 3DEyewear may vary with individuals.z The projection screen size when displaying 3D videos isup to 5.08 m (200").
