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.
