charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode.

TV + Mitsubishi products that have/_€ Network
Terminals

The A/V Network is a special system tlhat Mitsubishi developed to
make it easier to use several Mitsubishi products with only one
remote control. Only one of the products needs to be in "line of
sight" of the remote control. When the supplied cable is connected
between two Mistubishi products with A/V network, you can point
the remote control at the TV and it will "pass" the remote control

command to the others.

Mitsubishi VCRs that have Active A/V Network can also have the
benefits of additional automated tasks.. See Chapter 4, Using the
Special Features, for more information about the Active A/V

Network features.

terminal on the back of a Mitsubishi component that has A/V
network terminals.

_>Important- Depending on which components you have and the way you plan to

use your equipment, the method of connecting the A/V network can
change. For more detailed information, review the owner's guide of

each particular Mitsubishi component.

40 Chapter 3: Operating Your TV

Adjusting the color purity - Models CS-36509,

CS-36609 and CS-40509 ONLY

Because your Mitsubishi color television has a large-screen picture
tube, the earth's magnetic field can produce discolored patches on
the edges of your screen. The controls you will be using to adjust
the color purity are two switches, one labeled DIRECTION and the

other STRENGTH. These switches are found on the I_ont control
panel of models CS-36609 and CS-40509 and on the back connec-

tion panel of model CS-36509. To correct color purity, follow these
instructions:

OTurn off the TV set.

ODetermine the compass direction where the set is facing.

The direction is determined from the front of the screen
facing forward.

OSelect the position for the DIRECTION switc, h according to

the chart below.

across the top of the remote control.

When you first receive your remote control, the TV layer is set up
to operate your Mitsubishi TV and VCR-A is set up to operate your

Mitsubishi VCR. The DVD layer is programmed to operate your
Mitsubishi DVD player and the AUDIO layer is programmed tbr

your Mitsubishi A/V receiver.

You can use the following to operate your TV:

Tint provides a scale that adjusts the proportion of red to green in
the picture. This determines the delicate tones of color.

Color provides a scale that determines the intensity of the color.

Contrast provides a scale that controls the level of white-to-black

in the picture. When the contrast is low, you will be able to see the
variety of shades in the darker images on the screen. When the
contrast is high, the screen's dark images will appear more uni-
formly black, but this will also make the colors on the screen seem

more vibrant.

Brightness provides a scale that controls the overall brightness of
the picture.

Sharpness provides a scale that adjusts the detail and clarity of
the picture.

The Color temp (Color temperature) allows you to set how the
TV will display white images. Your choices are "Low," "High,"' or

"Middle".

• With the "Low" setting, white images on-screen will have a
warm cast to them. This setting represents the 6500°K
industry standard.

• With the "High" setting, white images on-screen will haw., a
cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic
picture under bright lighting.

• With the "Middle" setting, white images oa-screen will be

Customizing the AN memory settings (cont.)

Using closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that informa-
tion and display it on the TV screen.

Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with hearing
difficulties could more fully enjoy viewing television. However,
closed captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read

• learning a foreign language

• using the television without disturbing others

There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
standard and text.

Standard captioning is related to the program that is being

shown. Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of the

characters on-screen and only displays when the broadcast,_r is

sending the closed captioning.

_Important:

Text captioning often contains information such as weather or
news. Text captioning blocks out your view of the program you are
watching.

Your TV can decode four different standard ,captioning signals and
four different text captioning signals from each TV s.tation. How-

ever, each station may be broadcasting only one or two capl;ioning
signals, or none at all.

When setting the decoder you can choose to ,display:

• one of four standard captioning signals (IC--_:1, [ffC]:2, _ :3,

_-_ :4)

• one of four text captioning signals ( _C7: Text 1, _-d : Text 2,
[] : Text 3, _C]: Text 4)

• captions when muting ( _ : When Muting)

or to turn the captions off ( _ : Off)

If you select" [] : When Muting," the standard captioning signal
( U_ :1) will appear whenever you use the MUTE button.

If you set the decoder to a "standard" caption setting or "when
muting" and tune to a broadcaster that is not sending a caption
signal, no captions will appear.

_Important:

The content of captions are determined by the broadcaster. If your
captions show strange characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it

is not a malfunction of the TV.

This section contains descriptions for each audio setting arLd

descriptions of audio settings

The Listen to: function allows you to determine how your TV will
receive an audio signal and play back the sound that you hear. You
can set this function to "Stereo," "S.A.P." or "Mono."

• For almost all situations, you should choose Stereo. With this
setting, the TV will play stereo broadcasts in stereo and mono

broadcasts in mono. If a channel is broadcasting in stereo, the
word "Stereo" will display when you tune to that channel.

• Some TV stations will broadcast second audio program, or
S.A.P. signal. This signal is an additional soundtrack that you
can't hear during normal TV viewing. An S.A.P. signal might

be related to the program you are watching, such as a

soundtrack in a foreign language, or it might be unrelated; for
example, a weather report. If a channel is broadcasting an
S.A.P. signal, the letters "SAP" will appear on-screen when you

tune to that channel. Choose "Listen to: SAP" to hear ;he S.A.P.
signal.

• Use the Mono setting if you are receiving a weak audio signal.
This setting will reduce background noise. However the TV will

only play in mono, even if the program you are watching is in
stereo.

The Bass setting enhances or reduces low frequency sound.
The Treble setting enhances or reduces high frequency sound.
The Balance setting adjusts the level of seund between the left

and right speakers. Adjust the scale until the sound seems to come

equally from both speakers.
The Surround setting creates simulated stereo and surround

effects. You can set this setting to "Off," "Simulate" or "Hall".

• Select Off if you do not want to use any surround effects.

• Select Simulate if you are watching a non-stereo program.

Your TV will create a simulated stereo effect.

• Select Hall if you are watching a stereo program. Your TV will
create a simulated surround effect, making the sound seem to
extend around and behind you using the TV's internal speakers.

The Speaker function allows you to turn the TV's internal speak-
ers on or off.

• Choose On if you want to play the TV's sound through the TV's
built-in speakers.

• Choose Off if you connected your audio system to your TV and
you want to play the sound of your TV through the audio

system.
