system is grounded so as to provide some protec-

tion against voltage surges and built-up static

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 col_ductors, location of antenna dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

18. Servicing

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 into a single

wire to connect them to the TV. To do this you will need a UHFi
VHF combiner. (There are different combiners for different kinds of

leads. Check with your local electronics store for the kind of
combiner you need.)

Pictured below is a standard combiner.

To connect separate UHF and VHF antennas to your television:

O Connect the antenna leads to the UHF/VHF combiner.

O Press the combiner onto the antenna terminal on the television.

Understanding the ViewPoint ®on-screen menus

One of the distinctive features of this TV is Mitsubishi's exclusive
ViewPoint On-Screen Operating System.

Unlike other television menus systems, ViewPoint includes a
special Picture-in-Picture screen to let you view the TV picture

while you are using the menu.

ViewPoint also provides step-by-step instructions :for using some of
the TV's special capabilities.

When using the ViewPoint system, please keep the following in
mind:

• The selected menu item is indicated in yellow.

• The on-screen menus will turn off if no item is selected within 5

minutes.

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.

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 way% 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 prograra that is being
shown. Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of tlhe

characters on-screen.

_>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 'IW station. How-
ever, each station may be broadcasting only one or two captioning
signals, or none at all.

When setting the decoder you can choose to:

• display one of four standard captioning signals (_C7:1, _--Q:2,
:3, [C-C7:4)

• display one of four text captioning signals ([_C--]: Text 1, _]_ :

Text 2, _ : Text 3, [] : Text 4)

• display captions when muting ( U-_: When Muting)

• turn the captions off ([] : O_,

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" caption setting and tune to a
broadcaster that is not sending a caption signal, no captions will

appear.

_>Important:

66 Chapter 3: Operating Your TV

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.

descriptions of audio functions

LISTEN TO 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.," and "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 langnage, or it might be unrelated, such as 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 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 mono, even if the program you
are watching is in stereo.

BASS controls the volume of low frequency sound.

TREBLE controls the volume of high fl'equency sound.

BALANCE adjusts the level of sound between the left and right

speakers. Adjust the scale until the sound seems to come equally

from both speakers.

SURROUND creates simulated stereo and surround effects. You

can set this function to "OFF' or "On."

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

• Select On 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.

SPEAKER 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 TV's

built-in speakers.

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

Using the Special Features

In addition to the basic and advanced features explained in the

ally available on ether brand TVs. This chapter will explain how to
use these distinctive features. It contains the following topics:

Understanding the On-Screen Displays

79

Understanding the On-Screen Displays

Your TV provides an on-screen summary of 1:he current settings for
the TV or cable channels, as well as the info::mation related to
Extended Data Services (XDS). XDS allows broadcasters to supply
you with the current time, channel information (such as call letters
and the network name), and program information (such as the

program name and program description).

To view this information, press the INFO button on the remote
control.

If the source of the main
picture is an antenna:

If the source of the main

Caution and care

"Warning: Don't leave stationary images on-screen for more than 10 minutes.

These images can scar the picture tube, causing permanent dam-

age to the TV. Some examples of stationary images are:

• stock-market reports

• station logos (especially bright ones)

• video game displays

• shopping channel displays

• the television's own on-screen displays

_Important:

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 distortion, ihowever,
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.

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.
