This review is from: Mitsubishi 3DA-1 3D Adapter PackI bought this adapter on Amazon for use with my Mitsubishi WD-73736 TV, Direct TV satelitte receiver, and xpand DLP link X102 glasses. To view Direct TV 3D channels, you need an HD receiver model H21 or higher. Model H20 will not work, as it will not get the software update necessary to view 3D programming. The physical size of the adapter is about 5"x4"x1". It can sit horizontally or vertically with the included stand. It is supplied with an HDMI cable, AC adapter power supply, emitter VESA cable, and a two button infrared remote control with battery. There are detailed instructions for the hook up of the adapter, TV, and the video output device (in my case a Direct TV H21 receiver). Basically, you plug in the AC adapter and plug it into the back of the adapter. If using non DLP link shutter glasses, you will need to plug in the supplied emitter cables from the adapter to the TV, and the non supplied VESA cable that comes with your shutter glasses from the adapter to your emitter. Next hook up the supplied HDMI cable from the adapter directly to an HDMI input on your TV. The last step is to hook up a non supplied HDMI cable (CAT 2 high speed V1.3 will do), from the adapter to your video source (in my case a Direct TV H21 receiver). I tuned to one of the Direct TV 3D channels 103,104,106 and I kept getting a message on my Direct TV receiver that my TV was not 3D ready. Finally in frustration, I changed the cable that runs from the 3DA-1 adapter to my TV from the HDMI 1 input to HDMI 2. The TV auto detected this change, and I named the input "satelitte". The Direct TV receiver finally recognized my TV as one of the elite allowed 3D models and I started to receive the 3D signals. I was then able to switch back to HDMI 1 input on my TV with no problems. There must be some sort of handshake signal that was initiated by the TV's auto detect of the incomming signal on HDMI 2 input. Once I was allowed access to the Direct TV 3D signal, I tried connecting the 3DA-1 adapters output signal through my Sony AV receiver (which has a version 1.3 HDMI switch) to my TV. It did not work, and I again received that dreaded message that my TV was not 3D ready. Save yourself some grief and if using this adapter to view Direct TV, use only direct HDMI cable connections between the Direct TV receiver and the adapter and the TV and the adapter, otherwise, you will not get the 3d signal. Once properly connected, the 3DA-1adapter works great and will auto detect 2D and 3D signals and automatically adjust its output accordingly. There is a slight (about 5 to 10 second) time lag when switching between 2D and 3D signals. The adapter has two green lights on it's front panel, one for power on and one for 3D mode. The power on light is self explanatory, and the 3D light comes on whenever a 3D video input signal is detected. The included remote control comes with a supplied battery and two buttons (power and 3D mode). The power button turns the adapter on and off, it must be turned on to view 2D or 3D signals. The other button turns 3D mode on and off. If viewing 3D, the adapter will automatically sense 3D and light the 3D light on the adapter. Remember to use the TV's setup menu to enable the "3D mode" and select "reverse" if using xpand 3D DLP link glasses. The 3D button on the remote seemed to have no effect once a 3D signal was auto detected by the adapter. Kudos to Mitsubishi for making this product available for Mitsubishi DLP owners. The 3D looks fantastic, as good as any theater! If you are in the market for a 3D blue ray player, I highly recommend the Panasonic BDT350. It has a selectable 3D output mode for the checkerboard 3D output format that is required by the Mitsubishi and Samsung 3D ready DLP TV's, no adapter is required and it even works through a V1.3 HDMI switcher. I give the 3DA-1 adapter a 4 star rating instead of 5, because getting it to work with Direct TV was a pain, and it would be nice to have an automatic on/ off feature with the detection of an input video signal....
This review is from: Mitsubishi 3DA-1 3D Adapter PackI received my adapter yesterday and am using it with the DLP link glasses. One small item that I ran into when setting up the adapter with my Mitsubishi 73873 DLP HDTV and PS3 (FW ver. 3.5) was that there was a final step to get these items to work together with the Blu-ray 3D media. 1. Attach HDMI cable to from PS3 to the adapter.2. Attach HDMI cable from adapter to T.V.3. Turn on T.V. 4. Set you T.V. to 3D mode by pressing Menu button then moving to 3D mode category and change to "Yes".5. Set Reverse option to "Yes" (only if you are using the DLP link shutter glasses).6. Turn on the PS3, then turn on the adapter (you should not have to use the select button on the remote. The adapter will automatically set itself to the correct "checkerboard" mode. 7. You will see a window that says "3D Mode Normal" when the PS3 menu opens. This is the adapter turning on.8. On the PS3, go to the Setup screen -> Select Display Setup -> Automatic discovery -> Press "X" button to save.9. Turn on shutter glasses and insert 3D media.Make sure you complete step 8 to tell the PS3 to enable 3D display modes. If you skip this step your 3D media (Blu-ray 3D) will not recognize that it is in a 3D compatible player and restrict you to 2D mode....
This review is from: Mitsubishi 3DA-1 3D Adapter PackI bought this and the xpand dlp glasses, which is quite a savings over the combo package. It worked with my wd73737 mitsubishi. So far I have watched the X Games...
