Yes, I have the Panasonic DMP-DBT-300 and I think the 210 Panasonic will output "checkerboard" 3D signal that will not require a 3D adapter. Any player that will output the "checkerboard" 3D format should work without the adapter.

Thanks for that,
Saved me a lot of time & money.
I was thinking about the 80" sharp 3D models. as a upgrade.
Like to keep the 73" for dual screen racing on 2 PS3's with 2 TV's.
A blast at my friends house with 2 73" mitsu and motorstorm.

Sad news about Mit's getting out of the RPTV business, my low hours 09 is still going strong ( I still get compliments on the PQ) besides an occasional dusting of the insides and the firmware update done long ago it has not given me any problems, I'm going to go ahead and get a spare bulb and some DLP link glasses for 3D and keep enjoying it for as long as it last because it seems that's all she wrote, RIP RPTV's


Edit 12-13-12 Sent away for a new Philips bulb I thought they were the factory bulb supplier for all Mit's DLP's guess not my original bulb is Osram.

Will Mitshubishi still sell the lamps for 73c9? Or should I buy a backup. I went the cheap route and got a bulb off amazon for 60$. Which after reading this forum I think I will regret doing so.

Anybody know what that is?
Thanks.

It's in the lower portion of the screen from the left all the way to the right.

My 82837 has a few white dots showing up. Bummer, have had no problems up to this point. Just ordered a new chip and it is supposed to be the DC4 which I understand are less prone to failure. Should be here next week and it looks like an easy diy. This is just after dealing with my pro subwoofer amp failure. Hope all goes well.

My Yamaha AVR has two HDMI outputs. I set up one as normal into TV HDMI-1 and set up the other going through the adapter into HDMI-2 with the TV 3D settings enabled, TV on brilliant and color settings adjusted with the glasses on. Has worked ok for us.

I was watching Last Resort last night and heard a loud noise and the picture went black...I knew I should've ordered a spare lamp months ago. Ordered one first thing this morning and hopefully it won't take too long to get here.

Did not know that. Hopefully it is a newer revision. None the less have the chip and will be installing in the AM. Cheap fix for $159

Is the chip a plug-in socket or solder to the circuit board?

Just plugs into a socket. Repaired my TV yesterday. Was pretty simple. Took about 2.5 hours with the thorough cleaning of the optics and chassis interior.

I installed a Phillips lamp into the cartridge of my 60737 replacing the original still working Osram and re calibrated using settings from when the set was new. The PQ is wonderful once again, I had tried one of the cheapo cartridge replacements awhile back and never could get the picture dialed in. I put the Osram into that housing and it will now be my quick replacement backup. Honestly looking at the build quality or should I say lack of between the no name lamp and either the Phillips or Osram is pretty telling, you do get what you pay for. Now to get some 3D glasses and I should be good to go. The RPTV is dead long live the RPTV

Is the picture still dark with this arrangement?

In Brilliant mode with the color settings change I would say it is comparable to the natural setting. Cannot get the color perfect, but I would not expect to when viewing through darkened glasses. I prefer the set on bright for most viewing though, it is darker than my setup for HDMI 1. Nice thing about the setup is switch the tv to HDMI 2 and pop in the 3D Blu Ray. I do have the receiver to setup to output only on HDMI 2 in this mode as well because if a non 3D device (HDMI 1) is present in the chain 3D output is halted from the Blu Ray player. On my Yamaha if set to output on HDMI 1+2 this happens. Found this out the hard way. Customer support from Mits or Yamaha were no help.

Sorry for the delay. Will I still need the same glasses as I got with the adaptor? or another type?

If the glasses were designed to work with the DLP sets, then they will be OK. The "37" series of DLP will only accept 3D in "checkerboard" format so if you 3D player will output this format then you do not need any adapter and the glasses do not change this.

Which would be better with the 65737 as far as 3D glasses.
The DLP Link glasses or the BT's with IR emitter??? Cost wise for two is about the same, but the BT's without emitter are around $20 apiece and supposedly very light?

You cannot turn off the DLP Link light flash on these DLP models, so I think that using the DLP Link glasses would help in reducing the color shift caused by the flash. I have only used the DLP Link glasses on my 65837 so I have not really tested this theory.

Hey I was wondering if any of you fellow owners of the 3DA-1 have used the Popcornhour A-400 and had the 3D work with DLP Link?

So.. My wd82837 shut down this morning on first power up of the morning, it lasted about 10 minutes before the shut down.

The yellow light blinked and then went off. Read the service manual and it said the TV was too hot.

I recently changed the bulb around Thanksgiving and that bulb blew around Christmas time. I am guessing that the fan is going bad.

Now, usually I'd buy stock parts but I have experience in computers and think I could get a fan with a lot more static pressure.

Couldn't I just get a 120mm fan and change the fan header/connector out?

Should I also change the sirocco fan out too?

Btw, I just cleaned the entire optical engine, including fans, when I got this TV off cl. The TV is in a nice cool area and my home is cooled to 72 degrees or less all the time.


So, if the lamp is getting to hot, it's either the fans or sensor. Since I blew a bulb within a month, I am guessing it's a fan.

What do you think I should do?

Unplug set, plug back in , hold power till 2 seconds after blue light flashes.
Set should come on & stay on.

It could be a loose J-4 connection.
I just learned hot to reset it.
If I leave my set on after reset, it will stay on forever. (at least a week)
I think it is the cold/heat expanding & contracting cabinet.
If you had problem only after bulb, try taping shot off on lamp door recess.

First things first. Where did you get your replacement lamp? Aftermarket lamps are notorious for failing early and causing other problems, including start up and random shut down issues.. Always get the lamp from Mitsubishi.

It's an Osram lamp. Got it from a Mitsubishi service center.

I read the service manual wrong and the previous two posts were right about j4. The code was "lamp door" not "too hot"

Found the lamp switch online for $4 and it would cost me about $20 to get it soldered (I don't do removal very well, lol)

So, if the reset doesn't help I'll order that part and be done with it (hopefully)
