SDC-15 3D [Stereoscopic] Viewing This is a brief description of the 3D methodology available from this projector. You will need 3D-glasses, a 3D emitter that synchronizes the active shutter glasses with the projected images (3D glasses and emitter sold separately), plus appropriate content from a 3D Blu-ray player, cable or satellite system, or game console. The 3D scheme employed by this system utilizes the principle of binocular parallax.
SDC-15 1080p D-ILA 3D Front Projector User’s Manual In most cases, 3D images are produced horizontally and are meant to be displayed in the horizontal viewing plane. Since it is known that 3D viewing can cause certain problems with sensitive or young viewers (such as motion sickness), please do not hold the 3D glasses slanted relative to the video images. Please watch 3D images from a distance approximately three times the height of the screen.
SDC-15 The frame sequential method is a way of displaying left- and right-eye video images [sequentially]. The projector projects the video images used for the left- and right-eyes directly onto the screen. The video images for the left and right side are only visible with the respective eye, as the left and right sides of the 3D glasses are opened and/or shut rapidly by a liquid crystal shutter. As a result, the left and right images are seen only by the respective eye and reveal a 3D image.
SDC-15 1080p D-ILA 3D Front Projector User’s Manual Replacing the Lamp When the lamp run time approaches 3,000 hours, a message is displayed on the screen and the lamp replacement is encouraged. • NEVER insert your hands into the ANY opening while AC power is connected! This could cause product failure plus severe personal injury, electric shock and even death. • Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used; allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before lamp replacement.
SDC-15 5 Remove the Power Plug from the Outlet Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Also, never attempt to reuse an old lamp. This may cause a malfunction. • Do not touch the surface of a new lamp. This may shorten the lamp life and cause lamp blowout. Handle 6 Tighten the Screws of the New Lamp Unit • Tighten the screws with a screwdriver. MEMO After Replacing the Lamp • Do not place the removed lamp unit at any location reachable by children, or set it near combustible items.
