(TV Software Versions 012.05 and earlier)

Important

This page describes 3D options offered with TV software versions 012.05 and earlier.

•To upgrade earlier software to the current version, visit http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/3Dupgrade.html

•Instructions for later software are on page 35.

To display 3D gaming or 3D cinema content, your Mitsubishi TV requires:

•A compatible 3D source device outputting a 3D signal in one of these formats:

-- Checkerboard format, 1080p, 60-Hz; (lower resolutions may be supported but will not fill the screen)

-- Side-by-Side format, 1080p, 24/30/60 Hz; 720p, 60 Hz

•Active-shutter 3D glasses, DLP link type or IR emitter type with matching emitter

Initial Setup

Notice Concerning 3D Format Compatibility (TV Software Versions 012.05 and earlier)

Mitsubishi 3DTVs (738 and 838 series) currently support the side-by-side 3D signal format. For support of other 3D formats, such as top-bottom and frame packing (3D Blu-ray standard), Mitsubishi 3D TVs will require the use of a 3D source device that outputs the 3D checkerboard format or a 3D source device coupled with the Mitsubishi 3D adapter. In all cases an emitter and matching 3D active shutter glasses or DLP Link active shutter glasses are required in order to view 3D content.
