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..
