What You Need
This is a passive 3D TV.
To watch 3D…
• tune to a TV channel that broadcasts programmes in 3D.
• rent a movie in 3D from an online video store.
• watch a movie in 3D from a 3D Blu-ray Disc, a USB device or
computer.
You can view photos in Ultra HD resolution in 3D, from a USB
connection.
You cannot watch 3D on native Ultra HD video, videos from a
device connected to the HDMI 5 connection.
For an extra pair of glasses order the Philips Passive 3D glasses
PTA417 or PTA426 (sold separately). Other 3D glasses might
not be supported.

The 3D glasses
When a 3D programme is shown on screen, simply put on the
3D glasses to watch the programme in 3D.
Recommended viewing height
For best picture quality, when watching passive 3D, your eyes
should be level with the centre of the screen.

Optimal 3D Viewing
For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you:
• sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the
TV, but no further than 6 meters away.
• avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy
saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct
sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience.

Care of the 3D Glasses
• Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent,
surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or
cracks.
• Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or
water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
• Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D
