If you experience one of the following symptoms while watching a 3D video, stop watching the 3D video immediately and take a rest.
3D FUNCTION 73 • Elderly viewers may have a reduced depth perception than younger viewers. Avoid watching video nearer than the recommended distance. • Watch 3D images within the optimum viewing angle and distance. • If you are outside the viewing angle or distance, you may not be able to see 3D images. You cannot view 3D images when you are lying down. • You may see left and right images overlapped during projector initialization after it is powered on. It may take some time for optimization.
3D FUNCTION Requirements for Watching 3D Images * Optimum viewing angle: Top/Bottom/Left/Right 9° Recommended viewing distance: 3 m to 5 m (with Adaptor) 1 m to 2 m (without Adaptor) Recommended screen size: 101 cm  * Watching 3D videos should be done in dark room environments only.
