If the [3D display] screen appears and 3D pictures are not displayed, turn off the device that plays 3D content and turn it on again.
Perceived 3D effect may vary from person to person.
For Active 3D Glasses models
Be sure that there are no obstacles between the TV and the Active 3D Glasses.
Replace the battery in the Active 3D Glasses.
Be sure that the Active 3D Glasses are powered on.
It is necessary to register your Active 3D Glasses to the TV before use. To use the glasses with another TV, it is necessary to re-register. Turn off the glasses before re-registering.
Wireless devices or microwave ovens may affect the communication between the 3D Glasses and the TV as the TV uses the 2.4GHz band. In this case, try to register again.
If a device that is not 3D-compatible (such as a home theater system) is connected between the TV and a 3Dcompatible device, the TV will not display 3D pictures. Connect the 3D-compatible device directly to the TV via an authorized HIGH SPEED HDMI cable bearing the HDMI logo.
For 4K models
3D signal of 4K cannot be displayed.
For Passive 3D Glasses models, view the TV from the front on. The 3D effect may be less pronounced depending on the viewing position. Adjust the viewing angle to the screen.

Sometimes video streaming quality is poor when using the wireless LAN.
The wireless network connection quality varies depending on the distance or obstacles (e.g. wall) between the TV and the wireless router (access point), environmental interference, and the quality of the wireless router (access point). In this case, use a wired connection for the Internet, or try the 5GHz band.
The 5GHz band may not be supported depending on your region/country. If the 5GHz band is not supported, the TV can only connect to a wireless router (access point) using the 2.4GHz band.

Operation cuts out, or a device does not work.
Check if the device is turned on.
Replace the batteries of the device.
Re-register the device.
Bluetooth devices use the 2.4GHz band, therefore communication speed may deteriorate or cut out occasionally due to wireless LAN interference.
If household electric appliances (e.g. microwaves or smartphones) are placed nearby, radio wave interference is more likely to happen.
The TV or device may not work on a metal rack due to wireless communication interference.
For usable communication distances between the TV and other devices, refer to the instruction manuals of the devices.
