Watch 3D television

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 TV, 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.

You will get the best 3D experience if you darken the room, for example, switch off the lights and draw the curtains. Lights behind and around the screen can cause an irritating effect. We recommend not to watch 3D TV in direct sunlight or bright surroundings.

3D/2D
If automatic 3D signaling is available, the TV automatically switches to 3D when you select 3D and to 2D when you select 2D. If automatic 3D signaling is not available, a menu for 3D or 2D mode selection appears on the screen. See the next page for information about modes.

Important

• Television screens and projectors
  

  • Not all connected television screens and projectors support 3D technology. If a television screen or a projector connected to the system does not support 3D, 3D in the 3D DISPLAY menu is greyed out.

• Dual screen
  

  • If two sources are brought up on the screen at the same time or if teletext is brought up on one side and a source on the other, the system will always display a 2D mode.

• Subtitles

  • Subtitles may not always be supported.

3D modes
Select the 3D mode that matches the signal sent out by the program provider .

2D modes
Select the 2D mode that matches the signal sent out by the program provider .

Automatic change of mode
If automatic 3D signalling is no longer available, the TV automatically switches to the last used mode for the current source. At channel and source change, the TV switches to STANDARD 2D.
