Cl eaning Recommendations

Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster

will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is

needed, please use the following guidelines: First turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the

power outlet.

Occasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake grilles on the back and sides of the TV. Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

Top and Sides of the TV

Without applying pressure, gently wipe down your •

TV with a soft, non-abrasive cloth such as cotton

flannel or a clean cloth diaper, lightly moistened with water. Dry with a second dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth. For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid deter-• gent, such as dishwashing detergent, to the water used to moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moistened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Glossy Surfaces

Use the soft cleaning cloth supplied with the TV.

• Clean the cloth before each use by shaking or brushing to remove any residual dirt particles.

•

Gently wipe down the glossy surfaces of your TV with

the soft cloth. Do not apply pressure while wiping.

• If necessary, lightly dampen the soft cloth with water. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners.

• Wash the soft cloth by hand or machine. Use only mild soap.

Screen

Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping • gently in an up and down motion. Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of • the screen. Do not allow liquid to drip down the screen, as • some liquid may enter the TV through the gap between the screen and screen frame.

You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part •

number CLEANER-VSS, by calling (800) 553-7278.

General Cleaning Precautions

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the • ventilation slots or any crevice. DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners, as • these can scratch the surfaces. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, • bleach, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can dull the surfaces. DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the •

TV’s surfaces.

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

H DMI Cable Categories

HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and Category 2 types.

Category 2 Cables• (also called high-speed HDMI cables). Newer, HDMI 1.3-compliant DVD players, video games, and set-top boxes require Category 2 cables, suitable for clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates of up to 10.2 gigabits per second. Use category 2 cables for high-speed 1080p HD signals carrying extended color encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep Color). Category 2 cables are also suitable for standard HDTV signals.

Category 1 Cables• (also called standard HDMI cables). Category 1 cables may be unmarked. They are suitable for standard HDTV 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals with 8-bit color depth. Use category 1 cables for clock frequencies up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23 gigabits per second.

G uidelines for Setting Up and Using Your New Widescreen TV

Getting Started

Check the TV cabinet for damage. If there is

1.

damage, do not plug in the TV. Call Consumer Relations at (800) 332-2119.

Review the important safety, installation, and oper-

2.

ating information at the beginning of this book. Choose a location for your TV.

3.

Allow at least four inches of space on all sides • of the TV to help prevent overheating. Overheating may cause premature failure of the TV.

Avoid locations where light may reflect off the • screen or where the TV is exposed to direct sunlight.

See the stand and wall-mount requirements • under “Installation and Operating Notes,” page 7 .

Remove the four transportation screws • before final positioning of the TV. Keep the screws in the storage bag provided and reinstall them whenever moving the TV.

TV Connections

Auto Input Sensing

The TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature automatically recognizes most connections and prompts you to identify the type of device connected. See page 16 for more on Auto Input Sensing.

Connection Types

Review the connection types available on your input devices and use connections that will give the best video quality. For example, choose HDMI over component video, and choose component video over S-video or composite video.

Picture Quality

Usually, to receive the best picture quality, connect the source device video directly to the TV input without routing it through other devices.

Cable Management

One cable tie with a locking pin is supplied with the accessories. Use the tie to keep cables properly organized and connected.

Installing the Cable Tie

Remove the locking pin from the cable tie and

1.

insert the anchor prongs into the hole on the back of the TV.

Reinsert the pin in the cable tie to secure the tie to

2.

the TV.

Surround Sound

For best surround sound audio quality, route audiosignal cables or HDMI cables from the source device directly to your A/V receiver or sound system.

IMPORTANT

Accessory items such as cables, adapters, splitters, or combiners required for TV connections are not supplied with the TV. These items are available at many electronics stores.

Antenna with a Single Lead

Figure 6. Connecting separate UHF and VHF antennas

Mitsubishi strongly recommends you avoid using antennas with flat twin leads. Flat twin lead antenna wires are subject to interference which may adversely affect the performance of the TV. We recommend using coaxial antenna cable.

For an antenna with flat twin leads

Required: 300-ohm-to-75-ohm transformer, coaxial extender.

Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for information • concerning use of the digital input and switching between digital sound and analog stereo sound from the TV.

A/ V Receiver with HDMI Output

Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable

This option allows you to view content from devices connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver can send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI cable. You can use an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s audio output.

You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (with slide switch set to devices. Experiment with your equipment to determine which functions are available to the TV’s remote control. See Appendix D , “NetCommand HDMI Control of CEC Devices” on page 78 .

This setup allows you to use NetCommand-controlled audio and video switching over the HDMI cable. See “A / V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 64
