If you have connected your projector to a DVD or Blu-ray player, please read "Watching 3D DVD or Blu-ray content" on page 7.

Important: When you turn the 3D technology on, you will be shown a reminder that 3D is enabled. If you do not wish to view 3D content, you should turn it off, otherwise the image may not be projected at full brightness.

Note: 3D display is now enabled.

1. Please make sure you have the correct 3D signals and glasses.
2. Remember to turn 3D off if you don't want to see 3D images.
3. If the 3D display isn't correct, please try to enable 3D Sync Invert.
4. Display mode options will be disabled while in 3D mode.

Using 3D glasses

DLP 3D glasses are powered. In order to enhance battery life, they turn off after a few minutes of inactivity. Before you can view 3D content, you need to ensure the glasses are turned on. In many cases, there is a power switch on one of the arms that you can press, and an LED that indicates if the glasses are turned on or not.

Note: Refer to the documentation that came with your glasses for instructions how to turn them on and how to change the battery.

Note: Suggest to use Acer DLP 3D glasses to enjoy perfect 3D performance without compatibility issues.

Note: Require DLP Link 3D glasses and support 96Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz sync signal. Acer projectors need 3D glasses to support 144Hz sync signal for 24P contents. (1080P, 24Hz)

Using DLP 3D / NVIDIA 3DTV Play technology

Requires DLP 3D glasses.

Before you can enjoy the benefits of the DLP 3D technology, you will need to do the following.

1 Ensure your graphics card supports 3D playback.

Note: Please refer to your graphics card's documentation.

2 Download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Note: Please refer to your graphics card vendor's website for the latest driver version.

3 You should also download a suitable 3D player such as the one available from www.3dtv.at.

To download software and use an NVIDIA 3DTV Play ready projector with DLP glasses, refer to the NVIDIA 3DTV Play website: www.nvidia.com/3dtv.

Note: You may need to purchase additional software.

4 Ensure you have the correct DLP-compatible 3D glasses.

Setting up a 3D environment

Once you have installed the drivers, you will need to set up the environment.

1 Set the refresh rate to 100/120 Hz on your graphics card for frame/field sequential 3D formats. Others, please set refresh rate which the 3D content requires.

If you are viewing Blu-ray 3D content over an HDMI 1.4a or later connection, this will be set automatically.

2 Press the menu button on the projector remote control to open the OSD.
