The 3D effect may not be visible if the visual ability of your left eye differs greatly from the
visual ability of your right eye.
●If a part of the 3D glasses or lenses is defective or damaged, it cannot be repaired and the
glasses should be replaced. If the glasses stop working within the warranty period, the glasses
can be repaired or replaced for free. If the glasses have been damaged due to the fault of the
customer or the warranty period has expired, a new pair of glasses will have to be purchased.
●If the eye sight in one of your eyes differs greatly from the eye sight in the other eye, you may
perceive 3D effects to a lesser degree than other persons or may not perceive 3D effects at all.
●Ensure you are within the working distance of the glasses when you view a 3D video.
"The images may not be viewable in 3D if you move outside of the working distance for 3 seconds.
"If the 3D glasses are moved outside of their working distance, the signal from the TV will disconnect
and the glasses’ 3D function will turn off after several seconds. When this happens, the red LED will
turn on for 3 seconds.
●The 3D glasses may not work properly due to interference from other 3D products or electronic
devices that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency such as a microwave oven or Internet AP. If
the 3D function malfunctions due to interference, please move all other electronic or wireless
communication devices as far away from the glasses and the TV as possible.
●The vividness of the image may appear degraded if you view 3D video in a place that is exposed
to direct sunlight or illumination.

Glossary
●480i / 480p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p
Generally refers to the number of effective scanning lines that determines the screen's resolution.
There are two scanning methods: interlaced and progressive.
–Scanning
Sequential projection of pixels to form images. The higher the number of pixels, the clearer
and more vivid the images.
–Progressive
A sequential scanning method that scans every line, one after another.
–Interlaced
A staggered scanning method that scans every other line until the end of the screen and then
fills in the remaining lines.
Example) If the number of horizontal scan lines is 480i
Scans 240 lines from start to finish and then scans the remaining 240 lines for a total of 480
lines.
* General differences between 480i and 480p are as follows:
480i 480p
Horizontal Frequency 15.75Khz 31.5Khz
FPS 30 60
Lines on Screen 480 480
●ARC (Audio Return Channel)
ARC lets the TV output digital sound to an audio device and input digital sound from the same
audio device through one HDMI cable. However, ARC is only available through the HDMI (ARC)
port and only when the TV is connected to an ARC-enabled AV receiver.
●DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Connecting the TV's DVI connector to a computer's DVI connector via an HDMI-to-DVI cable
lets you use the TV as a computer monitor. However, HDMI-to-DVI cables deliver video signals
only. You must connect a set of speakers to the computer using a separate cable to hear the
computer's audio.
●HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a method of transmitting both video and audio signals via a single cable.

●Dynamic versus Static IP Addresses
If the network requires a dynamic IP address, use an ADSL modem or router that supports
the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP
automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values the TV needs to
access the Internet, so they do not have to be entered manually. Most home networks use a
dynamic IP address.
If the network requires a static IP address, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
values manually when setting up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If the network requires a static IP address, use an ADSL modem that supports DHCP. ADSL
modems that support DHCP also allow static IP addresses.
●Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-distance wireless communication protocol allowing information exchange
between connected Bluetooth compatible mobile phones, laptops, earphones and headphones. It
is mostly used for low-power wireless connections within a distance of 32.8 ft.
●Ethernet
Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) that uses coaxial cables standardized by the IEEE.
●Component Connection
Component connections are mostly used for game consoles and transmit the video signal by
splitting it into a luminance signal (Y) and two color signals (Pb and Pr). The connector is marked
as [Component IN]_(Pr, Pb, Y) on the back of the TV. On some devices, it is sometimes marked
as Cr, Cb, Y. Cb and Cr are the digital conversions of the Pb and Pr signals.
The connectors are normally color-coded red (R), blue (B), and green (G) and offer the best
picture quality possible for an analog connection.
