Your projector comes with a built-in 3D emitter, which is located on the front of the projector, and an external 3D emitter, which you can connect to the back of the projector. Both 3D emitters emit a 3D synchronization signal that synchronizes the refresh rate of the image displayed by the projector with the shutter rate of the required 3D glasses, creating the 3D effect. If the internal emitter does not provide a sufficient 3D picture, you can connect the external emitter. You cannot use the internal and external emitters at the same time.

• <3D Emitter> does not switch automatically to even if an external emitter is connected. Manually change the setting to . Refer to "3-6-1. Picture" for details.
• The 3D effect may not work properly if there is any obstacle between the 3D emitter and 3D glasses.
• The 3D emitter may not work normally if there is any other 3D product or electronic device working nearby.

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D PICTURES.

Be sure to read and understand fully the following safety precautions before you use the 3D function on the projector.

Precautions

• Children should be monitored by a responsible adult when they use the 3D function.
If a child indicates he has tired eyes, a headache, dizziness, or nausea, have the child stop watching 3D pictures and rest.
- Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes: as general eye glasses, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.
• 3D pictures may cause discomfort such as dizziness, nausea, or a headache.
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop watching 3D pictures, remove the 3D glasses, and rest.

- Watching 3D images for an extended period of time may strain your eyes.

If your eyes are strained, stop watching the 3D pictures, remove the 3D glasses, and rest.

- Do not use the 3D function or wear the 3D glasses while walking or moving around.

3D images can be distracting. You may run into an object and trip or fall.

Precautions for Using the 3D Function

• The 3D glasses may not function normally if there is any other 3D products or electronic devices operating nearby.
• If the 3D function operates abnormally due to interference, move all other electronic devices and wireless telecommunication devices as far away as possible from the glasses.
• The screen may seem to flicker slightly if you watch 3D pictures under three-wave-length light, poor light conditions (e.g. a flickering, fluorescent light), or a fluorescent light with a frequency of 50 - 60 Hz.
• If this occurs, dim or turn off the light.
• The 3D effect may not look good if you are outside the effective distance or viewing angle.
  • If you leave the 3D glasses powered on, the battery's life will decrease.
• Power off the 3D glasses when not using them.
  • If you lie on your side with the 3D glasses on, the picture on the Projector may look dark or not be visible.
• Changing the input source will automatically disable 3D picture mode.
  • 3D glasses from other manufacturers are not compatible.
• Be sure you keep other electronic devices or wireless telecommunication devices as far away as possible from the glasses.
  • Some options are disabled when you change the picture mode of the 3D projector screen.
• Your 3D experience may differ from others. You may not notice the effect at all if your vision in one eye is much different from the other.

4 Troubleshooting

This Class B equipment is designed for home and office use. The equipment has been registered regarding EMI for residential use. It may be used in all areas. Class A is for office use. Class A is for business while class B emits less electromagnetic waves than class A.
The DMD panel used for Samsung projectors is made of hundreds of tiny mirrors. As with other visual display elements, the DMD Panel may include a few bad pixels. Samsung and the DMD Panel manufacturer have a rigid, bad pixel identification and limitation procedure in place and products will not exceed the maximum number of bad pixels set by our standards. Rarely, non-displayable pixels may exist, however it does not affect the picture quality nor the lifespan of the product.

Communication Format (Complies with the RS232C Standard)

• Baud rate : 9,600 bps

Serial Communication Protocol

1. Command Packet Structure [7bytes]

0x08

0x22

cmd1

cmd2

cmd3

value

CS

• A command packet consists of 7 bytes in total.
- The two bytes 0x08 and 0x22 signify that the packet is for serial communication.
- The following 4 bytes represent a pre-defined command that can be defined by the user.
- The last byte is the checksum which checks the validity of the current packet.

• Header [2 Byte]: Pre-defined values fixed to 0x08 and 0x22.
- Cmd1 [1 Byte]: The first value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd2 [1 Byte]: The second value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd3 [1 Byte]: The third value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
• Value [1 Byte]: Input parameter for the command (Default: 0) (Hexadecimal)
- CS [1 Byte]: Checksum (the 2's complement of the sum of all the values except for the CS value.)

2. Response Packet Structure [3 Bytes]

1. Success

0x03

0x0C

0xF1

2. Fail

0x03

0x0C

0xFF

• When the received packet from an external device has a valid value, a Success packet is sent. Otherwise, a Fail packet is sent.
  • A Fail packet is sent if:
  • The received packet length is not equal to 7 bytes.
  • The 2 byte packet header value is not equal to 0x08, 0x22.
  • The check sum is incorrect.
• Failure detection by an external device
• An external device classifies the packet as Fail if it does not receive a Success packet within 100ms.
