Special Features of Your TV

Your new high-definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:

1080p High-Definition LCD Display System

Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing

Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing automatically recognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to assign a name to it.

Your Mitsubishi LED LCD HDTV uses a full 1920 x 1080 LCD panel to create the picture you see on the screen. All images are displayed at 1080p. The TV uses new Plush 1080p® 5G digital video processing to convert lower-reso- lution signals to 1080p for display.

True120Hz and True240Hz

True120Hz (154 and 164 series) and True240Hz (265 series) make fast-moving images appear smoother and more fluid, free from motion blur. It does this by doubling the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video between the traditional frames to create smoother moving images. True120Hz/True240Hz also smooth film judder (image vibration) that may be present in film-based content such as movies.

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format

Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

Integrated HDTV Tuner

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.

High-Definition Video Inputs

•Component Video Inputs. Also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-defini- tion signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.

•HDMI Inputs. These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus bitstream and PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI™ inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions.

Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility

in your choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

Home-Theater Control

HDMI Control

Available on all models. HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some functions of these devices.

NetCommand with IR Learning

265 Series. NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. NetCommand can “learn” remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand-controlled hometheater system.

Sound Projector

Sound Projector technology uses the TV’s bank of speakers to create a simulated surround sound effect by reflecting sound off the room walls.

StreamTV™ Internet

StreamTV brings many popular internet applications to your TV. Among them is the VUDU™ movie service, offering the largest on-demand HD movie selection anywhere, featuring full 1080p and 5.1 surround sound. VUDU allows you to enjoy movies with no store visits, no mailing, no late fees and no subscriptions.

ENERGY STAR®

This is an ENERGY STAR® qualified TV. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

This TV uses power within ENERGY STAR guidelines except when Picture Mode is set to Brilliant.
