Cleaning 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 detergent, 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.

LCD Screen Cleaning

IMPORTANT

DO NOT apply any type of liquid to the surface of the TV screen.

• Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the LCD

screen. Do not use any liquids.

• Wipe the screen gently with an up and down motion.

• Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the screen.

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.

DO NOT dispose of the TV with general household waste. THE LAMPS INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN

MERCURY AND MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LAWS. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eiae.org.

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, Retain and Follow All Instructions. Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions.

2. Heed Warnings. Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions.

3. Cleaning. Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid, abrasive or aerosol cleaners. Cleaners can permanently

damage the cabinet and screen. Use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning.

4. Attachments and Equipment. Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer as such additions may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury.

5. Water and Moisture. Do not use the TV where contact with or immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath tubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, in a wet basement, swimming pools, etc.

6. Accessories. Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to a child, adult or pet and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator or heat register. If the TV is to be placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

8. Power Source. This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

9. Grounding or Polarization. This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

10. Power-Cord Protection. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the TV.

11. Lightning. For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.

12. Power Lines. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

13. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

14. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the TV.

15. 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.

Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002, 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 conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

16. Servicing. Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: (a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV. (c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. (d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating

(e) If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. (f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

18. 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.

19. Safety Check. Upon completion of any service or repair to the TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

20. Heat. The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Special Features of Your TV

Your new high-definition widescreen television has many special features, including:

Manual Swivel

The included stand allows the TV to be manually swiveled up to 30 degrees left or right. See “Cable Management” earlier in this manual.

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. HDMI 1080p signals received on inputs named PC and inputs named GAME (with GAME mode selected) are displayed without overscan.

Smooth120Hz™ Operation (models LT-46144 and LT-52144 only)

Smooth120Hz™ feature enables the display of more fluid and smoother fast-moving images, free from motion blur. In these LCD Flat Panel HDTVs, Smooth120Hz™ doubles the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video inbetween each of the traditional frames — providing the panel with additional information to smooth the moving images.

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 format 480i and High Definition video formats

480p, 720p, and 1080i. This provides a high level of

flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.

HDMI 1.3 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 are compatible with Deep Color and

x.v.Color. Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept

compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, highdefinition 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 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.

NetCommand® with IR Learning (LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only)

Selected Mitsubishi HDTVs offer 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.

1. Television Overview 9

NetCommand for HDMI Devices (all models)

Some newer HDMI devices may be compatible with the TV’s NetCommand for HDMI feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection. The TV’s remote control may be able to operate some functions of these devices without any further setup. See “HDMI Inputs” and “HDMI Cable Categories” on page 12 for more information on HDMI. See Appendix D for TV Remote programming information.

Note: On models LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144, you can add commands using NetCommand IR emitters and “Learning.”

6. HDMI™ Inputs

The HDMI 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) sup-

ports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.

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 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 inputs can also accept digital DVI video signals. To connect a DVI source, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter

or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to

TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your PC or

DVI device.

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D

HDMI Cable Categories

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

• Category 2 Cables. Newer, HDMI 1.3-compliant DVD players, video games, and set-top boxes require Category 2 cables. Use category 2 cables for these high-speed 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. Unmarked cables are category 1 cables and are suitable for standard HDTV signals.

7. 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.

8. IR Emitter NetCommand

(LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only)

IR Emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV’s NetCommand system to control external IR remote controlled analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVDs, satellite receivers and audio receivers.

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy

Protection) compliant.

These inputs are certified for proper interop-

erability with other products certified by Simplay™.

A/V Receiver (Sound System)

Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog stereo audio cables.

The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog

formats:

Analog audio coming into the TV is available as

output in digital stereo format on the

AUDIO OUTPUT

jack (TV back panel #2).

Digital incoming audio is available as analog

output on the

AVR AUDIO OUTPUT, L

jacks (TV back panel #1).

Usually, only one of the following connections is required:

• To connect an analog A/V receiver

Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from

AVR AUDIO OUTPUT, L

panel #1 to the

TV AUDIO INPUT

and R on the TV back

on the A/V receiver.

• To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby Digital surround sound and PCM audio support:

Connect one end of the digital audio cable to

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

on the back of the TV

(back panel #2). Connect the other end to the

COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT

on the back of the A/V

receiver.

DIGITAL

and R

Note:

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 connections for analog A/V receivers.

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.

IMPORTANT

If your A/V receiver has an HDMI input, use one of the audio connections described here instead of an HDMI connection.

Older Cable Box

Required: 3 coaxial cables, one two-way RF splitter.

These are not included with the TV.

Note: This connection is not recommended. The

other connections described in this chapter provide better quality audio and video to the TV and allow NetCommand to work with cable box.

TV Signals and Display Formats

This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This

shape reflects the new types of images available from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow-screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there is no perfect solution for displaying a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which you can choose.

Press

FORMAT

on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last-used format for each device is used when you return to that device.

DVD Definitions

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)

These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using the Standard format mode. This is the recommended viewing choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen)

These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally shaped, squarish TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may be listed on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.

TV Display Format Definitions

Standard: This is the full-screen format. HDTV signals

use this format. This format is useful for displaying Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed with black bars at the top and bottom, but show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Game Note: For inputs named Game with 1080p signals, all pixels are displayed.

Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom.

This is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom

bars of non-anamorphic DVD images. Available for

480i, 480p, and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Zoom: This enlarges the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image across the screen; there is less stretch in the center than at the sides, however. This allows the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than is seen in the Standard format. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Except when displaying menus, press to adjust the position of the picture vertically. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.

Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD

4:3 signals only.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals; not available for 1080p signals.

Note: All high-deﬁnition channels send widescreen

(16:9) signals, but not all programming sent on these channels was created for this format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side bars to ﬁll the widescreen area.

About NetCommand

•

This chapter applies to LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only.

• The IR “Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the TV to learn the remote control signals for your A/V devices

• NetCommand setup is optional.

• You can perform NetCommand setup when the TV first recognizes a device during Auto Input Sensing or at any convenient time afterward.

• NetCommand operates by sending remote control signals from the TV to your other devices via the IR emitters, telling the devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume, change channels and many more functions. All this is accomplished with the TV’s remote control and the slide switch left in the

position.

• You can choose the level of NetCommand control for your home theater.

Standard Setup. Perform a standard setup if

you want NetCommand to control only a few devices, such as the TV, a playback device (like a DVD player), and a cable box. With this setup, you can use the TV’s remote control to operate these devices.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and properly place the emitters so that Netcommand can control your devices. See the explanation on the following page.

A/V Receiver Setup. Perform A/V receiver

setup if you want NetCommand to:

Control a surround sound A/V receiver. Automatically change audio input selec-

tions on an A/V receiver when you change inputs on the TV.

IR Emitter Placement (NetCommand)

An IR emitter cable is included with LT-40134, LT-46144, and

LT-52144 TV models only.

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to

the

IR EMITTER

DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter cable to the TV back panel #2 (in recessed area).

2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, alongside, or over each device to be controlled so that the emitter end is in front of the area where the remote control sensor is located.

3. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to reach the sensor.

The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible with the aid of a flashlight and is normally a round or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, you can find it by following these steps using the device’s remote control:

a. Hold the device’s remote about one-half inch

from the front of the device. Starting from one end of the display window plastic, press the

POWER

b. If the device does not respond, move the

remote control one inch toward the center and

try again. c. Repeat this until the device responds. d. Note this location and then start over from the

other end of the display window plastic, repeat-

ing until the device responds again.

The remote control sensor is somewhere

between these two positions. This is usually

enough accuracy for placement of the IR emit-

ters.

With some devices, the emitter works better

Place IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the IR sensor on each device.

IMPORTANT

Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all.

Setup to Control Automatic Switching of A/V Receiver Audio Inputs

Two different setups are described here: Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to TV

Audio Input. Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching for a

device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver.

• Audio Available from TV only: Use Setup 1.

Audio from A/V receiver from the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or analog

Use Setup 1 to make the A/V receiver switch to its designated TV audio input when viewing these sources.

• HDMI Digital Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.

Digital stereo audio from an HDMI connection is available both in digital format (from the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) jack and in analog format (from the TV’s

• Analog Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.

Audio from sources with only analog stereo output (such as a VCR) can be sent either directly to the A/V receiver or through to the TV and then on to the A/V receiver.

Mitsubishi recommends you send audio through the TV as shown in the example. Setup 1 causes the A/V receiver to switch to its input designated for TV audio.

If you have a digital A/V receiver, the TV makes the audio available by converting analog audio to a digital output.

• Digital Surround Sound: Use Setup 2.

A device can send digital surround sound such as Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver, bypassing the TV entirely. The device might be a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and could have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in this example.

Your setup may include additional devices with digital surround sound connected directly to the A/V receiver. These devices might be a DVD player plus a cable box or satellite receiver.

To hear audio sent from the TV to the A/V receiver, you must have:

•

physically connected the TV to the A/V receiver

•

selected the A/V receiver for audio. Press AUDIO, then then

Appendix D: Programming the Remote Control

This appendix explains programming the TV’s remote control to operate other A/V devices. This is distinct from NetCommand control. The TV’s remote control can operate other devices by three different methods:

• Remote Control Programming: You must move the slide switch to the position specific to the type of device.

• NetCommand® IR “learning” (LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only): You can operate other devices with the slide switch in the TV position.

• NetCommand for HDMI devices (all TV models): You may be able to operate compatible HDMI devices with the slide switch in the TV position. See the device’s Owner’s Guide and the description in chapter 4, “TV Operation and Features.”

Functions Available for Other A/V Devices

The TV’s remote control can be programmed to operate other types and brands of A/V products. To use the remote when programmed, set the slide switch to the position labelled for the product type. The functions performed in each switch position can vary depending on the product. Not all functions work for all models. The most common functions available are listed on this page.
