Notice Concerning 3D Format Compatibility
(TV Software Versions 012.06 and later)
Mitsubishi 738 series and 838 series 3D televi-
sions (the “TVs”) will no longer require the use of an
adapter when loaded with the software version of
012.06 (the “Software Update”). After the Software
Update, the TVs will support the mandatory HDMI
1.4a 3D signals intended for the United States. Spe-
cifically, the TVs will support the 3D signals known as
Frame Packing 1080p/24Hz and 720p/60Hz (pri-
marily from Blu-ray players and gaming consoles),
Side-by-Side in 1080i/60Hz, 1080p/24Hz/30Hz/60Hz and 720p/60Hz, Top/Bottom in 1080p/24Hz and
720p/60Hz, and Checkerboard 1080p/60Hz.
However, there may be some 3D sources that are
not compatible with the TVs even after the Software
Update. In all cases: (1) 3D sources must connect to
the TVs using the HDMI inputs; and (2) Active Shutter
3D glasses with matching synchronization emitter or
DLP Link Active Shutter 3D glasses are required in
order to view 3D content.
Notes on Using 3D Video Settings
3D signals and 3D settings affect some TV functions.
Switch to a non-3D source to regain full TV operation.
If
Source Format is set to Automatic or one of the
named 3D formats OR Source Format is set to Off and
the 3D video source is HDMI 1.4a compliant (picture
may appear as 2D), the following limitations apply:
• Picture adjustments are limited. To make picture
adjustments while watching normal 2D images from
the device, temporarily set
Source Format to Off
to make the full range of adjustments accessible.
• The FORMAT key is disabled.
• The INTERNET key is disabled.
