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

Special Features of Your TV
Welcome to LASERVUE® TV! Mitsubishi has created a
new category of television with laser technology. Laser
beams provide the widest range of rich, complex colors,
along with the most clarity and depth of field. Precise
and focused, the purity of laser light far surpasses
current high-definition technologies and sets a new
standard for premium large-screen television.
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 DLP Display System
Your Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital
Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection TVs
to create the picture you see on screen. All images are
displayed at 1080p. The TV uses Plush 1080p® 5G to
convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.
The TV can also accept 1080p original signals and main-
tain them at 1080p through all processing until displayed.
3D Ready
All Mitsubishi 1080p LASERVUE HDTV’s are 3D Ready.
This feature lets you experience the new 3D technolo-
gies applied to many recent movies and video games.
Immerse yourself in your favorite video game, movie, or
sporting event displayed in 3D.
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. The TV ignores any unused inputs,
so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can
easily find and select connected devices by name.
Home-Theater Control
HDMI Control
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
Model L75-A91. Your Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new
level of networking that seamlessly integrates selected
older A/V products with new and future digital products. 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.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
Your widescreen Mitsubishi LASERVUE HDTV has an
internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air
HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and nonscrambled digital cable broadcasts, including nonscrambled 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, plus 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
PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI™ inputs can
also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions.
These inputs support HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (up to
36 bits) and the x.v.Color extended color gamut.
Used with an adapter, these HDMI 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.
Internet-Video Ready
Model L75-A91. Built-in VUDU™ connectivity lets you
stream high-definition internet video content directly to
your TV. Access to VUDU’s fee-based movie service
is through menus displayed on the TV.
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.

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and
high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital
stereo audio.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI
cables, also called high-speed HDMI cables, to
connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color
and x.v.Color.
These HDMI inputs can also accept digital DVI video
signals. To connect a device’s DVI output to the TV’s
HDMI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus
analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to
the
DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO
and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI com-
pliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD
player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p video formats.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer signals.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.

8. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio
to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Incoming
analog audio is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio.
If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this is the
only audio connection needed between the TV and your
A/V receiver.
HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as Standard and
High-Speed types.
High-Speed HDMI Cables • (also called Category 2
Cables). Newer DVD players, video games, and set-top
boxes require High-Speed HDMI cables, suitable for
clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates of up to
10.2 gigabits per second. Use high-speed cables for
1080p HD signals carrying extended color encodings
(i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep Color). HighSpeed HDMI cables are also suitable for standard HDTV
signals.
Standard HDMI Cables• (also called Category 1 Cables).
Standard HDMI 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.

A/V Receiver with HDMI Output
Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable
Optional: One digital coaxial audio cable or analog
stereo audio cables
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.
In addition to the HDMI connection, you can use •
an audio connection from one of the TV’s audio
outputs. The optional audio connection allows you
to hear, through the A/V receiver, devices connected to the TV only, e.g., an antenna on the
input.
You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (in •
TV
mode) to operate connected CEC-enabled HDMI
devices. See Appendix C, page 73.

Note:
In Canada call 1(800) 450-6487 for assistance.
On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be •
copy-restricted and cannot be output from
the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copyprotected signals through the A/V receiver, use
the connection for an analog A/V receiver.
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.
