immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath
tubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs,
swimming pools, etc.
8. Accessories
Do not place this TV receiver on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the TV receiver. Any
mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory 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.
9. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the TV receiver and to protect it
from overheating. Do not block these openings
or allow them to be blocked by placing the TV
receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator
or heat register. If the TV receiver 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.
10.Power Sources
This TV receiver 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.
11.Grounding or Polarization
This TV receiver 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. 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.
12.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 appliance.
13.Lightning
For added protection for this TV receiver during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the TV receiver due to lightning and power-line
surges.
3
Important Safeguards (cont.)
14.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.
15.Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this TV
receiver through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.
17.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the TV receiver, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-1984, 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.
18.Servicing
Do not attempt to service this TV receiver
yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
19.Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this TV receiver 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 receiver
(c) If the TV receiver has been exposed to rain
or water
(d) If the TV receiver does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions,
adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the
TV receiver to its normal operation.
(e) If the TV receiver has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged
(f) When the TV receiver exhibits a distinct
change in performance — this indicates a
need for service
20.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.

a few words about HDTV
Your purchase of this upgradeable Mitsubishi HDTV puts you at the beginning of a revolutionary new way to watch television. Beginning in the Fall of
1998 digital broadcasting will begin on a limited basis in selected major cities
in the United States. By the year 2005, all stations must have 100 percent of
their programs available on their DTV channel. Programs will still be available through current analog (NTSC) TV sets at least until 2006.
Digital signals are sent over the airwaves, the same way as the broadcast
stations you currently receive. The similarity ends here, as digitally sent
pictures are of a much higher quality than analog signals. Each Major (main)
channel will have several Minor (sub) channels.
When DTV is available in your area, you can purchase an optional Mitsubishi
HDTV receiver. This allows you to buy the most advanced receiver technology when your area of the country is ready to receive digital signals.
Because digital television technology is so new, the way programs will be
broadcast and the services that will be provided are subject to change.

Overview of the Remote Control

Using the remote control to operate VCRs, cable boxes
and other equipment
about your remote control
This TV’s remote control has four “layers”: TV, VCR, DVD/CABLE and
AUDIO. Each layer can be used to operate a different component in your A/V
system. You choose the layer you want to use by setting the “select” switch
across the top of the remote control.
When you first receive your remote control, the TV layer is set up to operate
your Mitsubishi TV and the VCR layer is set up to operate your Mitsubishi
VCR. The DVD layer is programmed to operate your Mitsubishi DVD player
and the AUDIO layer is programmed for your Mitsubishi A/V receiver.
You can set up layers in the remote control to operate a cable box, some
digital satellite receivers, a non-Mitsubishi VCR, a Mitsubishi laserdisc
player, Mitsubishi A/V receiver or a compact disc player.
The VCR layer can be set up to operate a non-Mitsubishi VCR. The DVD
layer can be set to operate a Mitsubishi DVD player, cable box, digital satellite receiver, VCR or a Mitsubishi laserdisc player. The AUDIO layer can be
set up to operate a cable box, digital satellite receiver, laserdisc player, or a
Mitsubishi A/V receiver. The TV layer can be set up to operate the volume
and mute controls of a Mitsubishi A/V receiver.

Receiver.
⁄Important: When you replace the batteries in your remote control, the remote
will usually return to its initial setting. You may need to set up
your remote again.
