of. Viewing 3D images
Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D
format. A 2D signal can be viewed in either 2D or 3D,
and 3D can be viewed in either 2D or 3D. If the TV can
detect the fact that a signal is 3D, it can change to
3D mode automatically – see “Setting the auto start
mode” (on page 29). Otherwise you can change the
viewing mode using the 3D button. Finally, the format
of the 3D signal can be either Side by Side (SBS) or Top
and Bottom (TB). You may have to choose the correct
format if the TV can not detect it automatically – see
“Switching display mode or selecting 3D format”.
Moreover, you can change 2D images to 3D images
by pressing the 3D button when viewing in 2D.
