3DTV STEREODRIVER 2001 User manual

3DTV CORP STEREODRIVER MODEL 2001
The Model 2001 is meant to be used with wired LCD shutter glasses and 50hz (PAL,
SECAM) or 60hz (NTSC) 3D field sequential (i.e., right/left alternating) video and
tube type (CRT) TV‘s. For higher frequency TV or PC see our other products.
Connect a standard RCA audio or video cord from the composite VIDEO OUT (a
yellow RCA jack) of your VCR, VCD or DVD player, STB (set top box--i.e., cable or
satellite) or TV to either RCA jack on the Model 2001.
Most DVD players, including BluRay players, will play any of the 50 titles of
standard definition 3D DVD’s available in 3D on a CRT tv or (with vga to tv
converter boxes available on the net) on a pc CRT monitor or on certain DLP
projectors or TV’s (see the faq on our page www.3dtv.jp for info). Some DVD
players may combine the two images and there may be no way to uncombine them
to get 3D. You will have to get a different DVD player.
Plug the stereo jack of the wired LCD shutter glasses into either of the mini jacks on
the 2001. Up to 6 wired glasses can be plugged in using standard stereo headphone
splitter plugs.
Plug in the DC adapter (not provided) and the green LED will light. To turn off the
unit unplug the DC adapter. Neither the driver not the glasses will be harmed if left
on and they use a very little electricity but it is best to unplug the power supply
when finished viewing 3D. If you wish to sit further from the TV, you may use a
standard stereo headphone extension cord between the StereoDriver and the
glasses or an RCA extension cord to the video source.
POLARITY
There is no standard for right/left eye polarity of standard field sequential 3D
DVD’s. If your 3D image looks strange turn the glasses upside down and if it now
looks ok then use the enclosed stereo reversal cable (the 4 inch --6cm-- long stereo
cable) between your glasses and the Model 2001 StereoDriver to reverse the
images.
For European User’s

If there is no composite video out from your video source, but only a Euro AV
(SCART) connector then use a SCART to RCA breakout
cable. In either case, you may connect the other RCA on the StereoDriver to the
video in on your TV or connect the round RF cable from the VCR, VCD, DVD or STB
to the TV. Some older equipment may not have enough power via the SCART
cable, so if the light on the
StereoDriver is dim or out, give it power directly from any DC adapter which makes
it’s green LED go on.
IF THE GLASSES PERFORM ERRATICALLY, THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE IS FAILURE TO
CONNECT VIDEO TO THE STEREODRIVER. Make sure the glasses jack and other
connectors are plugged in all the way.
ELIMINATE FLICKER BY REDUCING ROOM LIGHT AND TURNING DOWN THE
BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR TV. ADJUST THE COLOR, BLACK LEVEL, AND SHARPNESS
WHILE VIEWING THE 3D PICTURE WITH THE GLASSES. It is important to keep the
glasses free of fingerprints and to avoid rear light which reflects off the inside of
the glasses.
IT CANNOT BE TOO STRONGLY EMPHASIZED THAT OPTIMAL 3D WILL ONLY BE SEEN
IF YOU CAREFULLY ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS, BLACK LEVEL, COLOR LEVEL, TINT,
AND SHARPNESS WHILE OBSERVING. WITH MANY TV SETS THIS WILL REQUIRE
SWITCHING OFF THE AUTOMATIC CONTROLS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP THE GLASSES
CLEAN - A SINGLE FINGERPRINT WILL RUIN THE 3D! YOUR ABILITY TO VIEW 3D WILL
IMPROVE WITH PRACTICE.
WARNING
Do not use this product or any 3D Viewing system for prolonged periods. It is not a
toy and should not be used by epileptics or children under seven years of age. If
you or your child experience any of the following symptoms, discontinue use
immediately and consult your physician; dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle
twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation or
convulsions. Though very rare, such problems may occur. Though a small amount
of fatigue is normal when first viewing 3D images, if you begin to feel dizziness,
fatigue, eyestrain, or headache, discontinue use.
UNITS GUARANTEED FOR 30 DAYS. GUARANTEE DOES NOT COVER EXPOSURE TO;
HEAT, LIQUIDS, DROPPING OR OTHER ABUSE. UNIT WILL BE REPAIRED OR
REPLACED AT OUR DISCRETION. RETURN DEFECTIVE UNITS TO 3DTV CORP. OR

YOUR DISTRIBUTOR.
Adapting Your Visual System To LCD Shuttering Glasses
When using shutter glasses with computer or video systems with a frequency of
less than 120hz there will be some flicker which should be minimized or eliminated
by reducing room illumination and adjusting the TV or monitor brightness with the
glasses on and the program running. Individual sensitivity to flicker varies widely.
If you have difficulty adjusting to 3D viewing, reduce your viewing time per session.
As with all our systems, the visual system can adjust with time and you should be
able to overcome any fatigue by building up your “stereoscopic muscles” slowly.
It is important to adjust the stereo parameters such as the parallax (horizontal
image disparity) and distance to the screen in each program for your own comfort.
Use the setup menu to adjust what is variously called “depth”, “3D Effect”,” 3D
Intensity”, “screen size”, “viewing distance”, etc. when using any stereo software.
You will probably need to change this as you become accustomed to stereo and for
each program. When watching 3D, you can change your distance from the screen to
improve viewing; the further away you are the easier it is to
view. See our article “How to Improve Image Quality in 3D Viewing”.
Changing Of Plastic Filters ln Wired LCD Glasses .
Some models have a grey or black plastic filter layer which reduces flicker when
operating at lower frequencies (e. g., 50Hz). If turning up your TV or monitor
brightness is insufficient, you can get a brighter, sharper, and better color image by
replacing the dark filter with a clear one. This will increase the flicker unless you
are operating at 120hz. Get filter material at any art supply store or contact us.
Other Modifications
If you want a softer contact with your forehead purchase adhesive backed foam
padding or weatherstripping at your local hardware, sporting goods or hobby shop.
lf the glasses rest too heavily on your nose, purchase some of the little nosepads
used for eyeglasses. lf they are not tight enough on your head, add adhesive
backed foam strips or several nose pads inside the temples.
Note - Lenses must be kept clean, a fingerprint will ruin 3D!
