D*
Warning:
5.
Cleaning
Unplug this TV receiver from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Cleaners can permanently damage the cabinet or
screen. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments and Equipment
Never add any attachments and/or equipment
without approval of the manufacturer as such
additions may result in the risk of fire, electric shock
or other personal injury.
7. Water and Moisture
Do not use this TV receiver where contact with or
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 13.Lightning
the manufacturer, or sold with the TV receiver. Any
mounting of the appliance should follow the manu-
facturer'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
10. Power Sources
11. Grounding or Polarization
12. Power-Cord Protection
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, rag, 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.
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.
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.
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, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
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.
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 witl_ tl_em n_lght 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 protec-
tion 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 dis-
charge 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 no_nal 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.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
TV receiver, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV
receiver is in safe operating condition.
Warning:
Do not leave stationary images, such as stock
market reports, video games, station logos, or

Preface: Welcome to Mitsubishi
a few words about HDTV
Your purchase of this upgradeable Mitsubishi HDTV puts you at the begin-
ning 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 avail-
able 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 technol-
ogy 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.

Summary of Special Features
Your top-rated Mitsubishi projection TV delivers the following special fea-
tures:
HDTV Upgradeable -- when used with a Mitsubishi HDTV
receiver, your television is capable of showing a High Definition
Television (HDTV) picture. HDTV signals provide a smoother,
more highly defined picture. (HDTV signals will be broadcast on
selected stations in major cities in the United States in the near
future).
3D Y/C Comb Filter -- digital based comb filter that improves
three aspects of the image: horizontal, vertical and time. Pro-
duces higher horizontal and vertical resolution with less dot
crawl and color interference when showing standard television
signals
Component Video Input .... provides three separate jacks, one
for luminance (Y) and two for color difference (Cb and Cr). The
two color difference signals permit improved color bandwidth
information that is not possible using composite or S-Video
connections. Offers the highest possible picture resolution when
using a digital video source, such as DVD
Wide Screen Television -- can display a picture in a letterbox
(16:9) format, the same as a movie screen. Models WS-65903
and WS-73903 will display in full format. Other models display
in a modified format (black bars above and below the picture).
TV GUIDE Plus+ --- an interactive, on-screen program guide,
updated automatically several times a day
Maximum Channel Capacity --- programs up to:

DVD/AUDIO Control --- uses a single remote control transmit-
ter to operate the TV, selected Mitsubishi VCRs, DVD player and
audio components, as well as certain VCRs, cable boxes, and
satellite receivers from other manufacturers
Preface: Welcome to Mitsubishi
