  If you cannot see 3D images on your Panasonic Monitor, here are some things to check: * Ensure your 3D eyewear is switched on. * Verify that '3D Function' in '3D Settings' is set to 'On'. * Match the '3D Picture Format' in '3D Settings' to the picture format. * Confirm the 3D IR TRANSMITTER is on and correctly positioned. * Ensure there are no obstructions between the 3D IR TRANSMITTER and the 3D eyewear. * Verify you are within the operational area for the 3D eyewear. * Correct your eyesight (wear glasses, etc.) if needed.
