3D Picture/Glasses Symptoms
3D pictures are not displayed. The 3D effect is weak.
- Be sure that there are no obstacles between the TV and the Active 3D Glasses.
- Replace the battery in the Active 3D Glasses.
- Be sure that the Active 3D Glasses are powered on.
If two pictures are displayed side-by-side, press the 3D button repeatedly until [3D (Side-by-Side)] appears. If two pictures are displayed one above the other, press the 3D button repeatedly until [3D (Over-Under)] appears.
(When using the Touchpad Remote Control, press the Control Bar (), slide to highlight the 3D button, press the touchpad, slide the touchpad to highlight [3D (Side-by-Side)] or [3D (Over-Under)], then press the touchpad.)
- If the [3D Display] screen appears and 3D pictures are not displayed, turn off the device that plays 3D content and turn it on again.

In this case, try to register again.
- If a device that is not 3D-compatible (such as a home theatre system) is connected between the TV and a 3D-compatible device, the TV will not display 3D pictures. Connect the 3D-compatible device directly to the TV via an authorised HIGH SPEED HDMI cable bearing the HDMI logo.
