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 DLP Display System

Your Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital

Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection TVs to create the picture you see on screen. All images are displayed at 1080p. The TV uses Plush 1080p® 5G to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.

The TV can also accept 1080p original signals and main-

tain them at 1080p through all processing until displayed.

3D Television

All Mitsubishi 738 and 838 1080p home-Cinema HDTV’s can display 3D content originating in several different formats. This feature lets you experience the new 3D technologies applied to many recent movies and video games. Immerse yourself in your favorite video game, movie, or sporting event displayed in 3D.

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, plus 720p and 1080i highdefinition signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.

• HDMI Inputs. HDMI® inputs provide additional

high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility in your choice of home theater products. These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p,

720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus PCM

digital stereo signals. The HDMI inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions.

These inputs support Deep Color (up to 36 bits)

and the x.v.Color™ extended color gamut. Used with an adapter, these HDMI inputs also

accept compatible digital DVI video signals. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

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. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can easily select devices by name.

Home-Theater Control

HDMI Control

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

NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control of products such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs. The necessary IR emitter cables are available for purchase separately from Mitsubishi.

Immersive Sound Technology

838 Series. 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

StreamT V™ 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

The following TV models are ENERGY STAR® qualified: WD-65738, WD-73738, WD-82738 WD-65838, WD-73838, WD-82838

Appendix C: HDMI Control of CEC Devices

Many new HDMI devices have a feature called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) or HDMI Control. HDMI Control allows one device, such as the TV, to control other devices, such as an A/V receiver or disc player. Use of CEC is optional.

Each manufacturer chooses which CEC functions to support so it is difficult to predict which devices and features are compatible with Mitsubishi’s HDMI Control. You may find that CEC functions for a specific device are limited.

To use HDMI Control, you must enable it in both the TV and the device.

• In the TV. Enable HDMI control from the New

Device Found screen or from the Inputs > HDMI Control menu.

• I

n the Device. Most devices with HDMI CEC com-

patibility let you turn it on or off in the device menus, where it is typically listed as “HDMI Control.”

Enabling HDMI Control of CEC Devices

To ensure proper detection

• Power on HDMI devices before connecting them to th e T V.

• Connect and set up HDMI devices one at a time.

Power on the device and allow it to complete the power-on sequence (boot up). Stop any playback.

Connect the device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs.

When the TV detects the connection, the New Device Found screen will appear.

Note: See “If the New Device Found Screen Has No

HDMI Control Option” on this page if there is no HDMI Control option.

New Device Found screen with HDMI Control option. This screen displays only if the device’s HDMI Control is enabled

Lamp-Cartridge Replacement

CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off. Unplug the television and allow it to cool for at least one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

Lamp

The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The life of the lamp can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, the selected lamp mode, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shorten the lamp life, as does setting and turning the television on and off frequently.

Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from the date of original TV purchase at retail.

100 Trademark and License Information

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modiﬁed versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modiﬁed versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modiﬁcation follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Deﬁnitions.

“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations. To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modiﬁed version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work. A “covered work” means either the unmodiﬁed Program or a work based on the Program. To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modiﬁcation), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.

The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modiﬁcations to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work. A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an ofﬁcial standard deﬁned by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces speciﬁed for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language. The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the speciﬁc operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodiﬁed in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface deﬁnition ﬁles associated with source ﬁles for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is speciﬁcally designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control ﬂow between those subprograms and other parts of the work. The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly afﬁrms your unlimited permission to run the unmodiﬁed Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modiﬁcations exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulﬁlling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures. When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modiﬁcation of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
