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.

Top and Sides of the TV

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.

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: • Take special care when cleaning
the TV’s glossy surfaces.

Always shake or brush the cleaning cloth first to -

remove any dirt particles.

Wipe the glossy areas gently, without applying -

pressure.
If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with ­water. Use no chemical or abrasive cleaners.

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 LCD Flat Panel 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 Plush 1080p™ to convert lower-resolution signals
to 1080p for display.

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion makes fast-moving images
appear smoother and more fluid, free from motion
blur. In this LCD Flat Panel HDTV, Smooth120Hz™
Film Motion doubles the traditional progressive scan
frame rate and creates new frames of video between
the traditional frames to smooth moving images.
Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion also smooths 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.

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

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 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 an input and prompts you to
assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs,
so the result is an uncluttered Input Selection menu
where you can easily find and select connected devices
by name.

Home Theater Control

Net Command with IR Learning

Your Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking

that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products
with new and future digital products. Net Command®

8. HDMI™ Inputs

(High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and high­definition digital video formats and PCM digital stereo audio.

Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI compli­ant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
video formats.

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 DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or
cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio
cables to the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jacks on the TV to
receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D and
HDMI computer video signals. For additional information on
PC compatibility, see “Using the TV with a Personal Com­puter,” page 18 , and Appendix A , “Specifications,” page 66 .

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Pro­tection) compliant.

11. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices 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.

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 and 1080i
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.

12. IR NetCommand Output/External
Controller Input

IR emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV’s
Net Command system to send control signals to external IR
remote-controlled devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVD
players, satellite receivers and audio receivers.

Using a CableCARD

The CableCARD™ system allows your TV to receive,
decode, and unscramble the premium digital channels
included in your cable TV subscription without the use
of a cable box. The system is unidirectional, meaning
that certain digital cable services, such as requests
for video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a
cable operator’s enhanced program guide, and data­enhanced television services may require use of a
set-top box instead. For more information, call your
local cable operator.

Note: CableCARD requires the TV’s Fast Power On

setting. If you insert a CableCARD, the TV will
automatically override a Low Power setting and
change to the Fast Power On setting.

Installing a CableCARD

Connect your primary incoming cable to

1. ANT1/MAIN

on the back of the TV.
Power on the TV.

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 14 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

For best picture quality, route signals directly from
the input device to the TV; avoid routing video signals
through an A/V receiver, for example.

Cable Management

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

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.

Cable Routing

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.

Be sure to leave enough cable slack below the cable tie
to allow the TV to swivel freely. Without enough slack,
there is a risk of damaging the cables and the TV.

The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog

formats:

Analog audio coming into the TV is output in digital •

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
enabled HDMI devices. Experiment with your equip­ment to determine which functions are available to the
TV’s remote control. See Appendix E , page 80 .

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 63 .

On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copy-•
restricted and cannot be output from the TV as a
digital signal. To hear these copy-protected signals
through the A/V receiver, use the connection for an
analog A/V receiver.
