Important Information

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.

3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of an accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Service Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained, authorized Mitsubishi dealer.

7. Only use tabletop stands or wall-mount brackets that are designed specifically for this product.

8. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize uneven phosphor aging:

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this Mitsubishi plasma TV, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing this type of damage:

*Do not turn off ORBITER.

†

*Always enable and use your computer’s, video game or

DVD player screen saver during use with these sources. *Display a moving image whenever possible. *Change the position of the menu display from time to time. *Always power down the monitor when you are finished

using it.

If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous oper-

ation, take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven phosphor aging:

*Do not turn off ORBITER.

†

*Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as pos-

sible without impairing image readability.

*Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

*Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas. Use complementary or pastel colors whenever possible.

*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

NOTE:

Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-332-2119 for other recommended procedures that will best suit your particular application needs.

†

ORBITER - Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in reduction feature. To minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging/burn-in when displaying still images, the Mitsubishi PD-4225S offers a built-in feature known as ORBITER. The ORBITER feature intermittently shifts the screen image horizontally and vertically in small increments. This intermittent screen movement is usually not evident in full motion video. In some instances the ORBITER shift might be evident while displaying static guides or menus. The default setting for ORBITER is On. Mitsubishi chose this setting to help reduce uneven phosphor aging. Please do not shut the ORBITER off. For more information regarding ORBITER, see page 34.

Owner’s Manual 7

Important Information

WARNING: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for extended periods of time. Mix types of pictures shown. Uneven phosphor aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave a subtle but permanent ghost image. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This plasma TV is a phosphor-based display. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT TV/monitor , for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a plasma display panel. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under these conditions, phosphor-based displays age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors used in plasma displays and can leave subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.

When using a computer or similar device through a VGA input, be sure to turn on the Screen Saver feature and set the activation time to 5 minutes or less. If your computer program allows, you should also set your toolbars to the hidden mode.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/internet searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes. Examples of these types of images include, but are not limited to the following:

• Letterbox top/bottom black bars: shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.

• Side bar images: solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.

• Stock-market report bars: ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.

• Shopping channel logos & pricing displays: bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.

• Video game patterns and scoreboards

• Bright station logos: moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

• On-line (Internet) web sites: or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images.

• Closed Caption Backgrounds: When set to black or bright color.

Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that instant, light is emitted. APlasma Display is a next generation flat display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma TV offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the TV is clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.

Wide Screen

The 42" screen gives you a movie-theater experience in the comfort of your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma TV to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The plasma display panel consists of more than one million fine picture elements (cells). Although Mitsubishi utilizes plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
