Important Information About Your TV

Installation Notes

Wall Mount Requirements

For wall-mounting, see “Stand Removal Instructions.”

Use with other than the authorized accessories
may cause the TV to become unstable, which can
cause damage to the product or possible injury.

Custom cabinet installation must allow for proper
air circulation around the television.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: THIS
REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM
INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE
NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER
GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT
THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE
GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE
TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.

If Your TV Gets Damaged

Crystalline liquid may leak from the LCD panel and
broken glass may be scattered.

CAUTION: The crystalline liquid is toxic. Avoid
contact with your skin, eyes, or mouth. DO NOT

touch the broken glass or crystalline liquid. DO NOT
get glass fragments or crystalline liquid into eyes or
mouth. Should either contact with your eyes or

mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with
water and consult your doctor.

Disposal of Your TV

The LCD panel contains a small amount of crystalline
liquid and the fluorescent tube in the panel contains
mercury. Both are toxic and should not be touched.

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.

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.

Internal Fan

This TV has an internal cooling fan that may be audible
while the TV is powered on.

TV Guide Daily Access Requirements

does not provide program listings for satellite TV systems.

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.

4. Attachments and Equipment.

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.

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.

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

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

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. HDMI 1080p signals are displayed
without overscan when received on inputs named

Game (if Picture Mode Game is selected) or on inputs

named PC.

Smooth120Hz™ Operation

Smooth120Hz™ 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 in between each of the traditional
frames, providing the panel with additional information
to smooth moving images.

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 digital cable
broadcasts, including HDTV cable programming (when
authorized by the CableCARD provider).

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 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™ 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, 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 home-theater
system.

1. Television Overview 7

NetCommand for HDMI Devices

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.

Swivelling Stand

The included stand allows the TV to be manually swiv­eled up to 30 degrees left or right to the best viewing
angle.

TV Guide Daily Interactive Program Guide

TV Guide Daily is a subscription-free guide system. It
lists regular, digital, and high-definition programming

The HDMI™ 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

supports 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, plus PCM digital stereo audio.

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

and HDMI computer video signals. See chapter 2, “TV

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, including 1080p signals.

8. IR Emitter NetCommand

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.

9. RS-232 Port

Use this port with external control systems for the
control of TV power, channel, format, volume, and mute.
For detailed information and control codes, please visit
our website at www.mitsubishi.com.

10. CableCARD Slot

Insert the CableCARD™ access card into the slot
located behind the CableCARD access door. When
inserting the card, ensure that the top of the card faces
in the direction indicated by CARD TOP.

If your cable company is not currently offering
CableCARD access cards, use the cable box provided
and authorized by your local cable company to view
scrambled channels.

When using a CableCARD, make sure the incoming
Cable-TV cable is connected to the TV’s
jack on the back of the TV (Back Panel #2).

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.

This digital television is capable of receiving analog
basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television
programming by direct connection to a cable system
providing such programming. A security card provided
by your cable operator is required to view encrypted
digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive
digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable
operator’s enhanced program guide and data-enhanced
television services may require the use of a set-top box.
For more information call your local cable operator.

Stand Removal Instructions

CAUTION

At least TWO PEOPLE are needed to safely remove the stand. One person must hold the TV while the
other person removes the stand. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in personal injury,
as well as damage to the product.

Stand Removal Procedure:

1. Before starting to remove the stand, make sure to
disconnect AC power cord from AC power outlet.

2. 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
the display from being damaged.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the screen,

make sure there are no foreign objects under or
on top of the protective sheet.

3. With two people firmly grasping the left and right
sides of the TV, gently place TV face down on the
protective sheet with the display stand hanging
over the edge of the table. See the illustration to
the right.

4. 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 pickup tool.

5. With one person holding the TV with both hands,
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.

6. The TV is now ready for wall mounting. See Wall
Mount Kit below.

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 set­top 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.

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 chapter 2, “TV
Setup,” 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 video signals directly
from the input device to the TV; avoid routing video
signals through an A/V receiver, for example.

Cable Management

Sound Quality

For best surround sound audio quality, route audio
signals from the input device directly to your A/V
receiver or sound system whenever possible.

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.

One cable tie and one cable clamp are supplied loose and
one cable tie is already attached (see illustration below).
Use the clamp and ties to keep cables properly organized
and connected. This is especially important if you need
to swivel the TV on its stand. Use the clamp and ties as
needed to control cables used in your set-up.

The TV can be swiveled up to 30 degrees left or right.

IMPORTANT

Be sure there is enough slack in the cables below
the cable clamps/ties to allow the TV to swivel
freely. Without enough cable slack, there is risk
of damaging the cables and the TV.

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 output in

digital stereo format on the

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

• 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 AUDIO

and R

and R on the TV back

on the A/V receiver.

Important

A/V Receivers with HDMI Inputs

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

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.
