As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded
in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital
channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will
allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will
be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.

While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between

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. 6)
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 (see below)
Caution
To enjoy 3D images 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.

If you do not look toward the TV screen for a while when
viewing 3D images, the 3D Eyewear may be turned off
automatically.

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
image height.
TX-P42GT30B : 1.6 m or more
TX-P46GT30B : 1.7 m or more
TX-P50GT30B : 1.9 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 further than 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.

Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case supplied with the
3D Eyewear when not in use.

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 any devices that emit the infrared signals near
the 3D Eyewear, as this may cause the 3D Eyewear false
operations.

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.

Do not expose the infra-red receiver section to bright light
such as direct sunshine and fluorescent light. The 3D image
may not be displayed correctly.

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.
To view the 3D images
You can enjoy the 3D images in a variety of ways.
(Frame Sequential, Side by Side and Top and Bottom are the supported 3D format.)

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish 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 automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 24).

Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.

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.

It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).

When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p.97) and the [Link Settings] (p.41) are
correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.

If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer
Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.

When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to format the USB HDD and enable it for recording in [Recording
Setup] (p.68).

Recordings to the external recorders are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original
programme is in high definition.

Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this 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.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet,
or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or
fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent
(1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and
wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution

Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.

Take care not to subject the TVs surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.

Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade
surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.

The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.

Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
