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.

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

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

NetCommand 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. NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs,

HDMI 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.

in most cases this is the only audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V receiver.

Stand Removal

CAUTION At least TWO PEOPLE are needed to safely remove the stand. Have one person hold the TV while the other person removes the stand. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in personal injury and damage to the product.

Stand-Removal Procedure:

Disconnect the TV’s AC power cord from the AC

power outlet. Spread the protective sheet that was wrapped

around the TV on a flat, even surface, such as a sturdy table. The protective sheet will help prevent damage to the display.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the screen, make sure there are no foreign objects under or on top of the protective sheet.

Position one person on each side of the TV (left and

right sides). Have each person firmly grasp their side of the TV and gently place it face down on the protective sheet with the display stand hanging over the edge of the table. See the illustration to the right.

Use a magnetic philips screwdriver to remove the

four stand screws from the recessed holes (see illustration to right). Note: A regular screwdriver can be used with a separate magnetic pick-up tool.

While one person holds the TV with both hands,

have the other person grasp the plastic portion of the stand (see illustration to the right) and remove the stand by pulling it away from the TV in the direction of the large arrow shown in both illustrations.

The TV is now ready for wall mounting. See “Wall

Mount Kit” below.

Using a CableCARD

246 Series TVs

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.

Before You Begin

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.

IMPORTA N T

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

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

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.

IMPORTA N T

Cable tie

Unlatching the Cable Tie

Pry up the latch tab and push or pull the free end of the tie through the latch.

You may be able to lift the latch tab by pinching the tab and latch body between your thumb and index finger. You may find it easier to pry up the latch tab using a plastic wallet card or similar object.

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 TV) to operate connected CECenabled 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.

Figure 11. Connecting the TV to an A/V receiver

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 copy-protected 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 infor-• mation concerning use of the digital input and switching between digital sound and analog stereo sound from the TV.

Figure 12. An A/V receiver connected to the TV with an HDMI cable may offer special control capabilities.

To hear sound from devices connected to the TV only, use the optional audio connection to send audio from the devices through the TV to the A/V receiver..

IR Emitter Placement

An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected

to the

IR—NetCommand Output

devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs.

Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter

cable to the

IR—NetCommand Output

TV main panel.

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.

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:

Hold the device’s remote about one-half inch a. from the front of the device. Starting from one end of the display window plastic, press the

POWER

button.

If the device does not respond, move the b. remote control one inch toward the center and try again.

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

other end of the display window plastic, repeating 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 emitters.

In some cases, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Experiment to find what works best.

Secure the emitter ends in place using double-

sided tape. Place any unused ends behind the devices to

prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

jack to control other

jack on the

Connecting IR—NetCommand Output

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

IMPORTA N T

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.

Audio Switching Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to TV Audio Input

Audio Switching Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to a device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver. You must use setup 2 to hear digital sur-

Audio Available from TV only•

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

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

Analog Stereo Audio•

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.

HDMI Digital Stereo Audio•

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

Audio Switching Setup 2: Audio from a device providing surround sound is sent directly to the A/V receiver.

Note: This setup is required to hear digital surround sound

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.

Appendix C: 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”: You can operate

other devices with the slide switch in the TV position.

•

NetCommand for HDMI devices: You may be able to operate compatible CEC-enabled HDMI devices with the slide switch in the TV position. See the device’s Owner’s Guide and Appendix E.

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.

Appendix E: NetCommand HDMI Control of CEC Devices

Many new HDMI devices have a feature called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) or HDMI Control. Mitsubishi calls this feature NetCommand HDMI Control or NetCommand for HDMI. HDMI CEC allows one device, such as the TV, to control other devices, such as an A/V receiver or disc player. CEC use is optional.

Each manufacturer chooses which CEC functions to support so it is difficult to predict which devices and features are compatible with Mitsubishi’s NetCommand for HDMI. You may find that CEC functions for a specific device are limited.

To use CEC, you must enable operation in all three of the following:

The TV’s Inputs > NetCommand HDMI Control • menu.

devices. NetCommand HDMI control is off by default. The TV’s Inputs > Name menu.• You can turn on or off the TV’s control signals to individual CEC devices. This option operates only when NetCommand HDMI Control is enabled. The device setup menus.• Most devices with HDMI CEC compatibility let you turn it on or off in the device menus, where it is typically listed as “HDMI Control.”

When off, the TV sends no control signals to CEC

First turn on the device and allow the power-on • sequence (boot up) to complete. Stop any playback, and then connect the HDMI cable as described next.

Turn on the device and allow it to complete the

power-on sequence (boot up). Connect the device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs.

When the TV detects the connection, the Auto Input Sensing screen will appear and provide additional

instructions. You will see one of the following screens, depending on your equipment.

Picture

Symptom Remarks

1. Picture does not look like a high-definition picture.

2. There is a large black or gray rectangle on the screen.

Not all signals are high-definition signals. To receive high-definition programming from your cable or satellite provider, you must subscribe to the provider’s high-definition service. Some overthe-air broadcasts are in high-deﬁnition and can be received with a high-quality antenna suited to your location.

The TV’s analog closed captioning has been set to text mode in the Captions menu. Turn off text mode because there is no text information being broadcast.

Picture

Symptom Remarks

3. You cannot view a picture when playing a VHS tape.

4. VCR or DVD player’s on-screen menus jitter up and down.

5. When viewing a stopped VCR, white lines are rolling on the screen.

6. A color program appears as a black and white image, or the colors are dim, or the screen is black.

7. Picture from an HDMI input is noisy (poor quality).

8. The image from a computer appears dis- torted when viewed on the TV.

Check your VCR’s owner’s guide for further troubleshooting.

Possible cause: Many VCRs and DVD players provide onscreen menus at only half-resolution. These lower-resolution graphics may appear to jitter up and down when the TV converts them to high-definition graphics.

Turn off video mute for the • VCR. Begin playing the tape.• Change the VCR input to the antenna input.•

The PerfectColor color balance has been incorrectly set. Reset the PerfectColor balance.

Try using a different HDMI cable.• If the signal is 1080p, upgrade a Category 1 (unmarked) • HDMI cable to a Category 2 high-speed HDMI cable.

6. I’ve selected my DVD player or other sur- round sound device in combination with the TV speakers but hear no sound from the TV speakers.

7. I “learned” the RECORD key for my VCR/DVR but when I pressed the RECORD key, the VCR/DVR did not record anything.

Check to see if the A/V Receiver power is turned on.• A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio-Only Switching•

With A/V receiver power turned on, redisplay the Input Selection menu and press ENTER to allow NetCommand to correctly select the A/V Receiver input. Incorrect setup in the Inputs > AVR menu. Check the device connection assigned in the AV Receiver menu.

A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio and Video Switching over HDMI•

If the device is connected only to the TV (e.g., on ANT1, ANT 2, or the convenience jacks), verify that the TV’s AUDIO OUTPUT is connected to the A/V receiver. The A/V receiver is not switching properly because you have not learned the inputs. See “Setting Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver,” page 60.

NetCommand A/V receiver setup for the DVD player or digital surround sound device or other device is not switching properly. See chapter 6, “NetCommand IR Control,” and perform A/V receiver setup for a digital surround sound device as described under “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio Switching,” page 61.

NetCommand A/V receiver setup is not switching audio and video inputs properly. See “Setup to Control Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI,” page 64.

A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio-Only Switching• If you have only an audio connection from the device to the A/V receiver, a physical audio connection from the device to the TV is also required.

Connect the left and right audio output from the device to the appropriate TV audio input. Now you can hear audio from the device through either the TV speakers or the A/V receiver. To switch audio sources, press AUDIO, press show the Speakers option, then press to select AV Receiver or TV.

A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio and Video Switching over HDMI• With your DVD player connected to the A/V receiver, only video is passed from the A/V receiver to the TV because of copy-protection restrictions on the HDMI signal

Check that the VCR or DVR is receiving a signal directly from your cable box or satellite receiver.
