Use and Compatibility
The Mitsubishi 3D Adapter, Model 3DC-100S may be used to display
3D content only when connected to a Mitsubishi 3D-Ready DLP TV,
Samsung 3D –Ready DLP TV or a Mitsubishi 3D TV. When using the
Mitsubishi 3D adapter, a 3D source device connected to the Mitsubi-
shi 3D adapter is required to support the display of 3D games, 3D
broadcasts from terrestrial/cable/satellite and 3D Blu-ray disc content.
Mitsubishi 738 and 838 Series TVs with software version of 012.06 or
higher do not require the use of the adapter for HDMI 1.4a mandatory
3D signals.

Compatibility with 3DC-100S Adapter
Mitsubishi has tested the 3DC-100S with representative models from
several series of Samsung 3D-Ready DLP HDTVs. Mitsubishi has not
tested all Samsung 3D-Ready DLP HDTV models or series and cannot
guarantee compatibility with non-tested models or series. Samsung
3D-Ready Plasma TVs are not compatible with the 3DC-100S.
The Samsung models listed here are models that have been tested
at the time of printing. Normally all models from the same series will
operate the same way and have the same compatibility.
Mitsubishi continues to test additional models when they are avail-
able. For updates to the list of tested models, please check the
Owner’s Guide for the 3DC-100S on line at www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

Notes On the 3D Glasses
• Shut off 3D glasses when not in use to extend battery life.
• Fluorescent and halogen lighting can cause the 3D glasses to
flicker. Turn off these lamps if flickering occurs.
• Turning off the TV’s 3D mode or changing the TV’s input to a 2D
input will turn off the IR emitter; the glasses will turn off automati-
cally after two minutes.
• Moving out of range of the IR emitter for more than two minutes will
cause the glasses to turn off automatically.
• Interference from other IR sources, such as motion detection
devices, may cause the glasses to flicker or work intermittently.
Turn off other IR source if interference occurs.
• The IR emitter in this system can also be used with Samsung 3D
glasses model SSG-2100AB. Information about these glasses can
be obtained from Samsung USA at www.samsung.com/usa/.
• You can also check www.mitsubishi-tv.com for any updates about
compatible glasses.

cleaning cloth, microfiber cloth, or a soft non-scratching cloth such
as cotton flannel. Make sure the cloth is clean and free of any
foreign material that may scratch the glasses.
• Cloths pre-moistened with cleaning solutions designed specifi-
cally for eye glasses can be used, however, do not spray solutions
directly on the glasses.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner directly onto the any surface of the
glasses. This may result in fire, electric shock, damage to the
product surface, or removal of control labels.
• DO NOT use chemicals containing alcohol, solvents, surfactants,
wax, benzene, thinners, insect repellents, lubricants, or household
cleaners. These may result in discoloration, removal of control
labels, or cracks to the product surfaces.
Caution
• Do not place the product in a location exposed to direct sunlight,
heat, fire, or water. This may result in product malfunction or fire.
• Do not apply force to the lenses of the 3D glasses. Do not drop or
bend the product. This may result in product malfunction.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter . . . Try this . . .
My 3D glasses do
not operate
• Replace the battery if it is drained.
• Focus your 3D glasses toward the TV front.
Make sure that the distance from the TV to
the glasses is less than 20 feet in a straight
line.
• Check if the emitter LED is lit. If not, make
sure the TV’s 3D mode is turned on and the
emitter is plugged in.
The LED blinks
continually.
The battery is drained. Replace it with a new
one.

3D Safety Requirements
• 3D Glasses are NOT designed as sunglasses or safety glasses and do not provide
protection. 3D glasses should be worn only when viewing 3D material.
• Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations that require unimpaired visual
perception.
• Children under the age of 5 should not view 3D programming.
Under normal conditions, 3D viewing is safe for your movies or games. Some people
may experience discomfort, however. To minimize the potential for experiencing visual
problems or any adverse symptoms:
• Read and follow any and all safety warnings that accompany your 3D glasses or 3D
source devices.
• Maintain a distance of no less than 2 to 2.5 times the screen height measurement
away from the display. Viewing from too short a distance can strain your eyes.
• Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every hour of 3D viewing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, discontinue 3D viewing until the symp-
toms go away:
• nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,
• headache, or eyestrain,
• blurry vision,
• double vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until
your symptoms have completely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and
do not resume 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms with a physician.
Do not use the glasses where loss of balance or limiting your field of vision may be
dangerous to you.
Do not use near staircases, ledges or balconies. You may risk falling during or after
use.
Epilepsy
WARNING! IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF
EPILEPSY, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING 3D VIDEO OR GAME PRODUCTS.
A small percentage of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing
certain types of TV images or video games that contain flashing patterns of light.
The following people should consult a physician before viewing 3D Games or Video:
• Anyone with a history of epilepsy, or who has a family member with a history of
epilepsy
• Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or sensory disturbances trig-
gered by flashing light effects.
WARNING! SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH
NO PRIOR HISTORY OF EPILEPSY. DISCONTINUE 3D VIEWING IF YOU EXPERI-
ENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:
• Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching
• Muscle cramps
• Nausea, dizziness, or queasiness
• Convulsions
• Disorientation, confusion, or loss of awareness of your surroundings
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until
your symptoms have completely gone away.
Do not resume 3D viewing without discussing the symptoms with your physician.
