Viewing 3D images
You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D
Eyewear. “Optional accessories” (p. 7)
This TV supports [Frame Sequential]1, [Side by Side]2 and [Top and Bottom]3 3D formats.
1: The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition quality and alternately
played back.
2, 3: Other available 3D formats
How to view the 3D images (p. 33)
Caution
To use 3D Eyewear safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.
Viewing 3D Content
Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing
medical conditions.
Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other
uncomfortable sensation. When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D
images varies among different individuals.
Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.
Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or
computers.
Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance
between the user and screen can be misjudged.
The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.
Use the 3D Eyewear where there is no interference from other devices with Bluetooth signal.
If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right),
please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.
Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance.
The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of the image height.
TX-P42ST50J: 1.6 m or more
TX-P50ST50J: 1.9 m or more
TX-P55ST50J: 2.1 m or more
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance at least 3
times of the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)
3D Eyewear Use
Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear.
3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be
fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health throughout the using 3D Eyewear.
Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any accidental damage or
injury.
Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.
Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.
Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.
Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.
Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong electromagnetic waves near
the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or skin irritation around the nose or
temples.
In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.
Viewing 3D images
32
3D Eyewear (optional)
Use the Panasonic 3D Eyewear that has this logo and supports
Bluetooth® wireless technology.
“Full HD 3D Glasses™” logo indicates products that are compatible with the active shutter 3D
glasses technology standards licensed by the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative. The RF mark on
the logo means the wireless system (Bluetooth® wireless technology), and you can use the 3D
Eyewear and the TV that have the same mark together.
Note
Use the 3D Eyewear within approximately 3.2 m from the TV. You cannot view the 3D images with the 3D Eyewear
too far from the TV, because of the difficulty of receiving radio waves from the TV.
The range may be shortened depending on the obstacles between the TV and the 3D Eyewear, or the surrounding
environment.
There are differences in the viewing range of the 3D Eyewear among individuals.
The 3D Eyewear may not operate correctly at the outside of the viewing range.

Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you want to remind watching or record to the
external recorder or the USB HDD. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel even if the TV is in
Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 26).
This function is not available in Analogue mode.
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
Timer Programming only works reliably if correct time information is received via the signal from the broadcaster or
service provider.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either on or in Standby. For reminders to be displayed, the
TV must be on.
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
Recording an encrypted (copy-protected) programme may not be possible.
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected
to the TV. If a recorder compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 89, 90)
and [Link Settings] (p. 42) are completed, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies, make timer programming of the
recorder. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.

Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through
SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection:
If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the
image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
