Optimal 3D Viewing
For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you:
• sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the
TV, but no further than 6 meters away.
• avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy
saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct
sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience.

Care of the 3D Glasses
• Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent,
surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or
cracks.
• Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or
water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
• Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D
glasses.
• Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or cotton flannel) to clean
the lenses to avoid scratching them. Never spray cleaner directly
onto the 3D glasses. This may damage the electronics (for
