Important Safety Instructions

Please read the following safeguards for your TV and retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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

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-definition 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.

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.

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.
