background color for the closed caption area.

IMPORTANT

The content of captions are determined by the
broadcaster. If your captions show strange
characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is

not a malfunction of theTV.

There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send: standard and text.

Standard captioning follows the dialogue of the characters on-screen and displays in a small section
of the screen when the broadcaster is sending the closed captioning.

Text captioning often contains information such as weather or news. Text captioning blocks a
portion of the program that is on-screen.

YourTV can decode four different standard captioning signals and four different text captioning
signals from each TV station. However, each station may broadcast only one or two captioning
signals, or none at all.

When setting the decoder, you can choose to display:

one of four standard captioning signals ( CC I, CC2, CC3, CC4)
one of four text captioning signals (Text I,Text 2, Text 3, Text 4)
captions when mute (On if mute)
no captions when mute (Off)

If you select"On if mute" the standard captioning signal (CC I) will appear whenever you use the
MUTE button. If you set the decoder to a"standard" caption setting or"On if mute" and tune to a

broadcaster that is not sending a caption signal, no captions will appear.

IRIS TM is the Intelligent Room Illumination (light) Sensor. When IRIS is on, yourTV will automatically

adjust the picture contrast and brightness for the best picture based on your room lighting.

Contrast provides a scale that controls the level of white-to-black in the picture. Low contrast will

show a variety of shades in the darker images on the screen. High contrast will show the screen's
dark images more uniformly black and make the colors on the screen seem more vibrant.

Brightness provides a scale that controls the overall brightness of the picture.

Sharpness provides a scale that adjusts the detail and clarity of the picture.

Tint provides a scale that adjusts the proportion of red to green in the picture.

Color provides a scale that determines the intensity of the color.

ColorTemp (Color temperature) allows you to set how theTV will display white images.Your

choices are "Low 6500K," "High:' or "Medium:'

With the Low 6500K setting, white imageson-screen will have a
warm cast to them. This setting represents the 6500°K industry
standard. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient

room lighting,video scene brightness and the TV's age.

With the High setting, white imageson-screen will have a cool cast
to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under

bright lighting.

With the Medium setting, white images on-screen will be balanced

between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.

Surround when you are watching a stereo program. Your TV's
internal speakers will create a simulated surround effect, making the
sound seem to extend around and behind you.

Listen to determines how yourTV will receive a broadcast audio signal and play back the sound

that you hear. You can set this function to "Stereo" "SAP" or"Mono."

Stereo is the default setting. With this setting, theTV will play
stereo broadcasts in stereo an._dmono broadcasts in mono. Stereo

broadcasts will display the word "Stereo" when you tune to that
channel.

SAP is an additional monaural soundtrack that you can't hear during
normal TV viewing. The SAP signal might be related to the program

you are watching, such asa soundtrack in a foreign language,or it

might be unrelated such as a weather report. If the SAP signal is
broadcast, the letters "SAP" will appear on-screen when you tune to

that channel. Choose "Listen to: SAP" to hear the SAP signal.

Mono will reduce background noise and should be used if you are
receiving a weak stereo audio signal. The sound will be only in mono
even if the program you are watching is in stereo.

Level Sound automatically equalizes the volume level of programs that contain significant sound
level differences from one segment to another, for example; regular programming to commercials. To
receive the best audio fidelity for music programs, you may want to turn this setting to Off.

Important Notes

Warning:

Don't leave stationary or letterboxed images on-screen for extended periods of time.
Mix the types of pictures shown.

The normal use of aTV should include a mixture of television picture types. The most used pictures
types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns.
Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, or displaying the same
stationary pattern frequently can leave a subtle but permanent ghost image in your picture. Note
that moving images with stationary black bars can also leave a subtle but permanent ghost image. To
avoid this, mix your viewing pattern; do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of
your totaITV viewing in any one week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen whenever possible.

This projection television uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes

age with use. As they age,their light output is gradually reduced. Normal television pictures fill the

screen with constantly changing images. In these conditions, the picture tubes age at an even rate
across the entire screen. This maintains aTV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen.

Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving blank or colored bars to fill the
screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven
aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.

Uneven picture tube aging is not covered by the warranty.

Still or stationary imagesmay be received from broadcasters, cable channels or satellite channels,
DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services or web/internet searching devices, video games
and digital television tuner/converter boxes. Examples of these types of image can be, but are not
limited to the following:

• Letterbox top/bottom black bars

(These are the black bars shown at the top and bottom of the

screen when you watch a widescreen movie on a standard TV)

• Side bar images
(These are the solid bars shown on each side of the image when

you watch a normaITV program on a widescreenTV)

• Stock-market report bars
(These are the row of stock prices normally shown at the
bottom of the screen during a financial report)

• Shopping channel Iogos and pricing displays
(Especially bright displays that are shown constantly or repeatedly
in the same place on the screen)

• Video game patterns or scoreboards

• Bright station Iogos
(Subtle, low-contrast Iogos are less likely to cause uneven aging,

especially if they are translucent and are not always projected in
the same spot)

• On-line (internet) web sites

or other computer style images that are not changed or are left
on display for long periods of time

58

Warning:

Important Notes, continued

If you place speakers next to the TV, make sure they are magnetically shielded. Ordinary speakers
will cause distortion in the picture due to their strong magnets. This distortion, however, will not
harm the picture tubes.

For maximum enjoyment and safe operation of your Mitsubishi TV, please read IMPORTANT SAFE-
GUARDS, pages 3 and 4 of your Owners Guide, very carefully and apply them properly

Cleaning:

Normally, light dusting with a non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you want to wipe down your TV, turn it off and unplug it.Then, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water for oily

dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter theTV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners.

DO NOT use spray liquids or cleaners directly on theTV's surface.

DO NOT scrub or rub theTV harshly.Wipe gently.

59
