Po wer ful, ex citing thr ee-dimensional (3D) full 1080P  high-definition images
using the latest technologies projected onto a large 100” screen. 
Enjoy  breathtaking experiences any time—all in the privacy  of  your  own home.
Whether  watching movies, live spor ts or  nature documentaries, Mitsubishi Electric’ s HC9000D 
home theater projector offers a new dimension of reality, placing you right in the middle of the action. 
One viewing is all it will take to realize that everything else fails to compare.
Reproduction of Extraordinarily Clear 3D Images at 240 Frames/Second 
Made Possible by Cutting-edge, Reflective Full-high-definition SXRD™ Panels
The use of 3D content is spreading and applications 
are becoming more diverse. Following these ongoing 
advancements closely, in addition to introducing the 
new frame sequencing method, Mitsubishi Electric 
has incorporated a side-by-side projection function 
currently being used for 3D television broadcasts, 
and plans to introduce a function to support 
top-and-bottom projection. 
The ability to switch between projection formats 
ensures future compatibility with the various 3D 
contents being utilized.
Wide Compatibility with 3D Television Broadcasts
Full-scale Use Available Soon
The shutter glasses design features not only the use of a lightweight resin frame, 
but also a specially curved form for the temple section that sits on the ear and an 
ergonomic bridge that comfortably fits the nose. These efforts ensure that the 
glasses are easy to wear and use, and prevent them from shifting out of position 
or becoming annoying when worn for long periods of time. For people who wear 
prescription glasses, these active-shutter glasses can be used comfortably 
together without any adjustment. Additionally, to 
ensure maximum 3D-setting flexibility, image 
brightness may be adjusted according to 
individual user preference.

3D 3D 
The HC9000D uses advanced frame sequencing technology to reproduce 3D images in full 1080P. 
Normal frame sequencing reproduces 120 frames per second; 60 each for the left and right eyes 
alternately. However, the advanced reflective full-high-definition SXRD™ panels of the HC9000D 
make it possible to reproduce 240 frames per second, twice that of the conventional method. 
Along with the high-speed reproduction of images, the open time of the shutters in the special 
active-shutter glasses is synchronized to ensure that images for the left and right eyes are not 
mixed. Crosstalk, a phenomenon common in the reproduction of 3D images to date, has been 
reduced a minimum, realizing amazingly detailed, high-definition 3D images that are so real 
you’ll think you can reach out and touch them.  A special screen is not required to enjoy 3D 
content on the HC9000D (Polarized screens are not 3D compatible with the HC9000D). 
						

							Compared to conventional glass-substrate liquid-crystal panels that project 
images by passing backlight through them, reflective full-high-definition 
SXRD™ panels are made of a silicon substrate with a liquid-crystal coating, 
and images are reproduced by reflecting the light. The development of 
Normally black mode and an advanced 
panel processing technology has 
enabled higher brightness and contrast 
and high-speed response to be realized. 
Movies and other images such as those 
of digital high-definition broadcasts are 
reproduced naturally and with distinct 
clarity. Each of the primary colors 
(Red, Green and Blue, RGB) 
is processed by a separate 
reflective liquid-crystal panel 
to realize full-high-definition 
resolution. The lighting from 
each panel is merged at 
the optical block and then 
projected, resulting in 
the reproduction of truly 
natural colors with excellent 
alignment and no mixing of 
pixel colors.
Sharp, Smooth Reproduction of Fast-moving Images
Reflective Full-high-definition SXRD™ Panels* Incorporated
The space between pixels has been reduced to 0.2µm, a smaller gap than 
previously used, and the structure between pixels has been optimized to 
reduce crosstalk. Additionally, a 94% high aperture ratio has been achieved, 
making the grid pattern*, which commonly becomes more prominent as 
screen size increases, hardly noticeable. As a result, the original smooth 
texture of moving images is beautifully expressed.
Negligible Grid Pattern Ensures Clearer Images on Large Screens
In addition to providing high contrast image reproduction, the newly 
developed optical compensator significantly reduces light lost during 
processing. The 18-step fixed aperture can be adjusted freely, improving 
the reproduction of blacks. When the Iris is closed, we have realized black 
color darker than before resulting in a maximum contrast of 150,000:1.
Motion vector analysis technology is applied for highly accurate frame 
alignment using preceding and following images. This compensation 
function creates the optimal number of frames for the content, reducing 
distortion in all directions: vertically, laterally and diagonally. 
Built-in Frame Rate Convertor (FRC)
Compensation Ensures Optimal Frame Number for Contents
A key element in projector performance is the lens. The lens incorporated
in the HC9000D has a 6-piece /17-cluster structure including a high-end, 
extra-low dispersion (ED) lens with advanced functionality compared to 
standard glass lenses. Peripheral focusing performance is improved, and 
chromatic aberration and color mixing are reduced to a minimum.

Cinema Filter increases the purity of green in 
particular, realizing vivid expression of 
the greens such those in the scene of a 
deeply forested hillside. Further, by expanding 
the green and cyan spectrums, cinema-like 
image reproduction is achieved.

Enhanced Depth and Clarity
Color Management allows the independent adjustment of Hue, 
Saturation, Gain for R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), C (Cyan), M 
(Magenta) and Y (Yellow). Subtle color adjustment is possible, enabling 
content to be enjoyed in color tones matched to the user’s preference.

The resolution of the content delivered by the projector varies widely, from 
Blu-ray (1,920 ×1,080) to DVD (720 ×480) and other formats. 
In the case of DVDs, the content must be converted to 1,920 ×1,080, and 
the higher the conversion precision, the better the image quality. 
This is performed using an IC (manufactured by IDT) highly evaluated for its 
image-processing performance. 
Processing such as highly precise 
interlace /progressive (I / P) 
conversion and scaling allows 
formats such as DVD, and of course 
full-high-definition content, to be 
reproduced with high picture quality.

With vertical adjustment of 100% and horizontal 
adjustment of 45%, the wide-ranging lens shift 
function increases the degree of freedom for 
projector placement. Incorporation of the 1.8x 
power zoom lens enables projection to a 100” 
screen from a throw distance as short as 3.4m or 
as far as 6.3m. The high-performance motor also 
allows subtle magnification and focus adjustments.  
Wide Lens Shift Range Increases Setup Possibilities
The remote controller is equipped with 
illuminated buttons for easy operation even 
in a dark room. Image quality can be 
adjusted directly from the remote controller.
