Hi Arletta, Active glasses are made of LCD shutter lenses that run on battery(s). The 3D video footage is presented at 120 times per second, a left image and a right image flickers on the screen. In perfect coordination with this, the lenses in the active shutter LCD glasses turn from opaque to transparent. Passive glasses are made of polarizing lenses that are very similar to those often used in movie theaters and amusement park rides. Each image is polarized to match one passive eyeglass lens and each image is then shown to each eye at the same time. Sony BDPS5500 supports 3D disc playback and simulated 3D. Compatibility of 3D glasses should be in accordance with the TV's specification. «Jerome

Active 3D uses battery-operated shutter glasses that do as their name describes: they rapidly shutter open and closed. This, in theory, means the information meant for your left eye is blocked from your right eye by a closed (opaque) shutter. Passive glasses are polarized lenses, like what you use at a movie theater. The type of glasses you need is based on your television, not the player.
