The update is pushed out by the headend for a geographic area at one time. You cannot request it.

Hello there! I am looking to get the Mits starter kit for a WD-82738, as I really want to try out 3d and not have to worry about sync issues. I hear these glasses work and look great, so I want to go the IR route. Where is the best place to purchase? I don't want to overspend if I don't have to. I saw it is about 250 at Tech for Less but they are out of stock. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Does the WD-82738 have a way to disable DLP Link flash? If not I'd reconsider IR route for the cheaper DLP Link glasses.

Ebay has the kits for around $200-300 depending on the seller. On Amazon they are too expensive.

You may want to consider buying everything separate as the adapter is only $100, then you just need to find nice glasses w/emitter. If you go DLP link the total would be like $200 for the adapter and 2 sets of Ultra Clears. The sync issues are no worse from DLP link to IR - if you turn your head away from the TV you'll lose sync with both.

WD-82738 dose not need the converter in the starter kit.

I am now looking for 2 more pair of glasses. I have a WD-73833 using the Mitsubishi starter kit. Are there glasses that are better than the ones included in the kit?

I recieved the 3DC-1000 Starter Kit for Christmas. I have a 73" inch Model: WD-73C9 Mits TV. I have figured out how to connect to one device, however I was hoping to connect both my Playstation 3 and DirecTV reciever at the same time.

Is this possible? I don't have an A/V Reciever that supports 3D. If it's possible, what do I need to do this? I would really hate to be forced to plug/unplug depending on the device I wanted to use.

I'm very new to all of this, so any expertise any of you have would be great. Also, if giving me directions, please give them to me like I am a child! haha -

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

You can't - you can, though, buy an inexpensive switch/splitter (that's what I did). I can't speak for Direct TV (I have Comcast) but you can buy a 2x1 (or more) splitter/switch and have both HDMI inputs go into the switch and the one HDMI output go to the 3D adapter. Get one through monoprice. Merry Christmas!

True...but passing true 3D signals using a splitter can be problematic and may work sporadically. Depending on the age of the receiver, I would upgrade it--you can find very inexpensive 3D receivers now (Onkyo for $180 at the Big River site or check your local Craigslist as a receiver is solid state and should be fine). Keep in mind neither DTV (Side by Side) or the PS3's "engineering tweak" passes TRUE 3D (HDMI 1.4 required) You'll only find more 3D need such as if you ever upgrade to a dedicated blu-ray player, so you'll ideally need the receiver.

I also looked into the splitter option (make sure you read monoprice reviews and notice that more than 2 inputs gets pricey quickly) but ultimately upgraded an already nice receiver and simply sold it for a pretty good price to someone who wanted great sound but didn't need 3D. Needed it to go with the amazing Oppo 95--which does true 3D and just about everything else

Not sure what problems you've heard about but having been using a splitter for several years now and have never had an issue and it's much cheaper than any receiver. And a 4 x 1 is very inexpensive. In fact, in my set up I have 2 splitters and one switch/splitter and they all work without any issue.

I have your same setup and am using one of these switches--working fine:

I usually use products from monoprice but this switch works great and is very inexpensive. Shipping was pretty quick, too.

I recently bought the mits 3dc-1000 starter kit just to get the adapter for my 2008 73835, I will be using DLP Link glasses so I don't need the ir emitter or ir glasses that came with the kit. How much are they worth? Anyone interested in them can pm me.

Anyone tried the aftermarket emitter that allows using IR glasses and DLP glasses at the same time?

Are the same IR glasses suapplied in the kit worth keeping if I get the above emitter?

I use the 3DA-1 emitter and this emitter:
http://www.amazon.com/Protocol-Gen2-...3&sr=1-2-spell
(As seen by the review)

If I could start over I'd never get any emitter and stick with DLP Link glasses. On my set the IR glasses do not block the DLP link flash so the blacks have a red tint. As long as your glasses or emitter have the ability to switch polarity you can use them with DLP Link glasses.

Thanks, guess it will be best for me to sell the emitter and glasses from the kit then. $150 or best offer.

I ahve a 73736 and a Mits 3DA converter box.

My setup:

XBOX/PS3/HTPC -> Onkyo 608b (HDMI1.4a/3D)-> 3DA-1 box -> HDMI 1 of TV.

1. As we know the 3DA-1 crushes blackseven in 2D and this is 80% of what I watch
2. There is no discrete "3D on" so getting 3D setup is kinda painful (have to adjust brightness, colors etc).

So someone suggested a distribution amp or switch that would "split" my Onko output into 2.... so One would go into HDMI1 on the TV and the second to the 3DA-1/Emmitter -> TV on HDMI2.

Since the TV and Perfect color etc can be set to ALWAYS have say HDMI2 in 3D mode, bright, and crank down the green level this would be idea - 1 switch adn done

Has anyone tried doing this? I guess I need 1 input 2 output switch that is 3D compatible.

Thoguths?

I am using a splitter to do what you described so i just power on the adapter when needed and switch inputs. Got the splitter from monoprice

I got the 2x2, but I don't have an HDMI1.4a receiver, I have the NR-807. Read the descriptions though to determine whether it's outputs or inputs in a 1x2. Different manufacturers may use different numbering systems. I don't think they have a standard for that yet

I got my 4 x 2 from monoprice too. It's 3D compatible however you can't feed one output to your AVR and the other to the adapter unless you use the coax audio for one output. I tried this for my PS3 and it would just 'blink'.

He's looking to put it between the AVR and the TV, not between the sources and the AVR. So the audio will be stripped out upstream of the HDMI distribution amp anyway, and he only needs a 1x2.

I'm using one to split the output from my PS3, with one going to my receiver and one going to the adapter. I also have optical out from the PS3 to the receiver. Only when using 3D content I switch the audio to the optical output. It's only 3D material that the receiver can't deal with. Otherwise, this is a nice way to still have full Blu-ray quality sound for all the non-3D movies I watch without having to switch any wires. Although I do have to change the audio output in the PS3 menu, but only for 3D, which isn't that often at this point...

This of course has nothing to do with the previous poster's question since he has an HDMI 1.4 receiver, but I didn't want folks to think you can't run a splitter off the PS3 output to solve some of these technical issues without resorting to buying a new receiver.

Correct - that's what I was doing but decided to buy a 3D BD player for @$80 that had an HDMI and component output. I use the HDMI out for video to the 4 x 2 and the component to connect 7.1 audio to my receiver: now I have HD pic and audio using my 1.3 Denon 3808 receiver. I got the 4x2 to allow for any future connections.

The 3DA-1 only crushes blacks if it is receiving a mismatched video signal.

If you're using a PS3, use these settings:

Settings> Video Settings> BD/DVD Video Output Format (HDMI)> RGB

Settings> Display Settings> RGB Full Range (HDMI)> Limited

My 3D mode freaks out onscreen (mottled/flickering/grainy image) and it's (luckily) not the BD player, the receiver, or hopefully the TV. Regular cable in the TVs 3D mode is fine, but when I run a sample cable 3D movie it starts again. That leaves the adapter I think. Apparently Mits has discontinued this as individual and it's very difficult to find without paying an arm and a leg. Why would they discontinue this? How are we with a L&5-A91 supposed to get 3D since they won't/can't firmware update it to support it directly...

I guess buy the whole starter pack with everything else in here useless for me?

Crushing blacks:

So having my HTPC nvidia 580 set to "limited" I cannot calibrate using the abs forum blu-ray down to 16. Taking the 3DA out works fine. Best I can do is stop crushing at 18.

Anyway the pain of the need for switching to 3d and calibration sounds like the posters suggestion of a 1x2 is brilliant (OnkYo 608b hdmi 1.4 -> 1x2 ) so I can always keep hdmi 1 on the tv for 2d and hdmi 2 for 3d

I don't think the crushed blacks issue is as simple as sending it the wrong luminance scale. I get crushed blacks when going through the 3DC-1000 even when the source is my DirecTV DVR, and DirecTV should using 16-235. I can double-check tonight, but I don't think there's even an option for changing the scale in the DVR.
