I have the passive polarized (LG Cinema 3D) glasses that came with my LG UF8500 TV and they worked beautifully. The player does not determine the type of glasses you need to view the content. Your 3D TV does. If your TV uses active 3D technology, you need to use the appropriate glasses. If it uses passive 3D, as a lot of 3D TVs do, then you use those type of glasses.
