TV + separate UHF and VHF antennas

equipment you will need

If UHF and VHF signals are brought into your home with two
separate antennas, you'll need to combine the antennas in order to
connect them to the TV. To do this you will need a UHF/VHF

combiner. (There are different combiners for different kinds of
leads. Check with your local electronics store for the kind of com-

biner you need.)

Pictured to the right is a
standard combiner.

To connect separate UHF and VHF antennas to your TV:

O Connect the UHF and VHF antenna leads to the appropriate

terminals on the UHF/Vt[F combiner.

O Press the combiner onto the antenna terminal on the rear of

the TV.

O Turn off the TV set.

O Determine the compass direction where the set is facing. The

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

Understanding the on-screen menus,

One of the distinctive features of this TV is an on-screen menu
system that provides step-by-step instructions for using some of the

TV's special capabilities.

When using any of the on-screen menus, please keep the following
in mind:

• The on-screen menus will clear if no item is selected within ,5
minutes.

• Unavailable menu items are indicated by light blue letters,
instead of the normal white letters.

• Some on-screen menu items must be set before other items are
available. For example, "Set the timer" will only be available if

"Set the clock" has been set.

• You can exit the on-screen menus any time by pressing the
MENU button repeatedly. You will then return to regular TV
viewing.

• You can also exit the on-screen menus by pressing the HOME
button on the remote control.

Adjusting the sound

Your TV allows you to customize and adjust the settings of its

audio functions. This section giw_s you descriptions of each audio

function, then explains how to adjust the functions.

descriptions of audio functions

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

• For almost all situations, you should choose "Stereo." W:[th 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 be displayed when you tune to that channel.

• Some TV stations will broadcast a separate audio programming,
or S.A.P., signal. This signal i!s an additional audio soundtrack

that you can't hear during normal TV Viewing. An S.A.P. signal
might be related to the program you are watching (e.g. a
soundtrack in a foreign language), or it might be unrelated (e.g.
a weather report). If a channel is broadea,_ting an S.A.P. signal,
the letters "SAP" will appear on-screen when you tune to that
channel. Choose "Listen to: SAP" to hear the S.A.P. signal.

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

with this setting, the TV will only play in m_no, even if tlhe
program you are watching is in stereo.

_>Important:

54 Chapter 3: Operating Your TV

An on-screen display appears when programs are broadcast in

stereo or when a separate audio programming (S.A.P.) is awdlable.

The "Bass" function provides a scale that controls the volume of
low frequency sound.

The "Treble" function provides a scale that controls the volume of
high frequency sound.

The "Balance" function provides a scale that. aJjusts the level of
sound between the left and right speakers. Adjust the scale until
the sound seems to come equally from both speakers.

The "Surround" function creates simulated stereo and surround
effects. You can set this function 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 effi?cl;.

• Select "Hall" if you are watching a stereo program; your TV will
use its built-in speakers to create a simulated surround effect,

making the sound seem to extend around and behind you.

Adjusting the sound (cont.)

The "Speaker" function allows you to turn the TV's internal
speakers on or off.

• Choose "On" if you want to play the TV's sound through the

Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that information

and display it on the TV screen.

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.

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 on each TV channel.
However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two
captioning signals, or none at. all.

_Important:

_Important:

_Important:

When setting the decoder you can choose:

• to display one of four "standard captioning" signals ( _,_--C7:1,

:2, _ :3, _ :4),

• to display one of four "text captioning" signals ( _-_ : Text 1, [] :
Text 2, [] : Text 3, _-_ : Text 4),

• to display captions when muting ( [] : _rhen Muting),

• or to turn the captions off ( [] : Off).

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

If you set the decoder to a "standard" caplfion setting and tune to a
broadcaster that is not sending a caption si_,mal, no captions will

appear.

If you set the decoder to a "text" setting and. tune to a broadcaster
that is not sending a text sig:aal, a large black rectangle will block
your screen.

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 27V.

(See the previous page for an

Important:

You can turn captions offby selecting the "off' seLting, or by
pressing the HOME button on the remote control during normal
TV viewing.

uses for closed captioning

Closed captioning was initially de_,_igned so that lhose with hearing
difficulties could better enjoy viewing television. However, clo_sed
captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing others.

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep iLn
mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or [a_erdiscs supply
closed caption signals.

Additionally, captions might not appear:

• if you are playing a video tape that is worn or deteriorated, or

• if you are starting to play a taserdisc from sti]l or search mode.

Caution and care

Warning: !

_>Important:

_Important:

Don't leave stationary images on-screen for more than 10 minutes.
These images can scar the TV, causing permanent damage to the

picture tube. Some examples of stationary images are:

• stock-market reports,

• station loges (especially bright ones),

• video game displays,

• shopping channel displays,

• the television's own on-screen displays.

If you plan to place speakers next to the TV, make sure they are
magnetically shielded. Ordinary speakers will cause distortion in
the picture due to their strong magnets. This disto]tion, however,
will not harm the picture tube.

For maximum enjoyment and safe operation of your MITSUBISHI

Color TV, please read the "IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS" carefully
and apply them properly.

To keep your TV from toppling in the event of an earthquake, you
can use the clamp attached to the back of the te:[e_ision to secure it
to the wall. Simply run a cord or :cope through the clamp, then
attach the rope to the wall directly behind the tele_rision.

Cleaning

Normally, light dusting with a non-scratching duster will keep your
TV clean.

If you want to wipe down your TV, turn it off and unplug it. Then,
wipe it gently with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water'.
You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water for

oily dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners.

DO NOT use spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV's surface.

DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe gently.

82 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

MITSUBISHI dealer or MITSUBISHI Authorized Warranty

Service Center.
