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

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.

The Setup Menu

The first step is to make your SETUP menu choices. If the television is
relocated or there is a power loss, or you add components you may need to
make your SETUP menu choices again.

The SETUP menu is where you will memorize the channels you can receive,
set the Clock, select how your television will work with other AV eqtfipment

(AV Connection) and choose the Language (English or Spanish), for on-screen
programs and menus.

Your television is also capable of receiving Digital broadcast signals (DTV)

when used with a MitsubishJ external HDTV receiver. NOTE: Some broad-
cast stations in m_ior U.S. cities will start limited DTV broadcasting as early

as Fall, 1998.

Memorizing channels

L_ _

TV GUIDE Plas i users do not need to memorize channels for ANT-A. TV I

GUIDE Plusl will do this aatomatically. See the TVGUIDEPIusi Operat-

ing Guide. However, you should still memorize channels for A.NT-B and

DTV if those inputs will be used.

You can use the menus to automatically memorize the channels your TV can
receive and skip the tmused channels. Once channels are memorized, you

can scan through them using the channel up/down keys on the remote control
or front control panel. Added channels will be labded, "In Memory", as

shown below. Channels not added will be labeled "Not in Memo_ m.

You will need to select the input you wish to memorize channels for. AIR and
DTV are for broadcast stations that use antennas. CABLE is for stations

using a cable or cable box.

The inputs and channels available for memorization are:

Changing channels

Your TV offers you six ways to change channels once their numbers have

been programmed into channel memo_-:

1) selecting channels one-by-one with the CHANNEL up (A) and
CHANNEL down (W) controls

2) directly accessing a channel by pressing the number keys

3) using the Recall option to return to the previous channel

4) using the SuperQaickView TM function to scan through any of nine

special user-chosen lists.

5) using the ADJUST (AV) keys in TV GUIDE Plusl SURF screens

6) using DTV Channel Guide (when available)

l>Important: To change channels faster, use either of the following procedures:

• Enter three digits for eve_- channel number, using zeros where

needed. For example, enter 004 to view channel 4 and 028 to

view channel 28, or

• Press the ENTER button after selecting the number of the

channel. For example, press 4, then press ENTER (in less than

three seconds) to view channel 4.

For DTV channds you will need to sdect a major and minor

channel. For example, enter 04 (m_ior), press CANCEL/SUB (a
dot will appear after the first numbers) then 11 (minor). It will

appear as: 04.11. If you press ENTERiEXCH after selecting only

the m_ior channel, you will see the first available minor channel.

If only one or two keys are used to select the ANT A or ANT B
channel number, the onscreen display will appear and remain

visible for three seconds if no more keys are entered. The TV

will then tune to the selected channel.

• If you have local cable channels that TV GUIDE Plus i does not

list, you can still select these channels by using the number keys

and enter them into one of the the SuperQuickView lists.

Using the Closed Caption Decoder

Closed captioning was initially designed so tha_ those with hearing impair-

men_s could more fully enjoy viewing _elevision. However, dosed eapthoning

can be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read

• learning a foreign language

•asing _he television wi_hoa_ disturbing others

There are _wo _ypes of captSoning tha_ broadcasters can send: s_andard and
tox_.

Standard captioning is rela_ed _o the program that is being shown, S_an-
dard captioning _sually follows the dialogue of the characters on-screen and
displays in a small section of the screen when _he broadcaster is sending _he
dosed captioning.

Tcxt captioning often contains information such as weather or news. Tex_

captioning blocks ou_ your view of the program you are watching.

Your TV can decode four different s_andard captioning signals and four

different _ex_ captioning signals from each TV station. However, each statSon

may be broadcastSng only one or two captioning signals, or none a_ all.
Vvqaen se_ting the decoder you can choose to display:

• captions when muting (On if mute)

• one of four standard captioning signals (CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4)

• one of four tex_ captioning signals (Tex_ 1, Tex_ 2, Text 3,
Tex_ 4)

• _urn the captions off (Off)

If you selec_ "On if mu_e," the s_andard captioning signal (CC1) will appear

whenever you use the MUTE button.

If you se_ the decoder to a "s_andard" cap_ion se_tSng or "On if mute" and tune

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

I>Important: The content of captions art determined by the broadcaster. If your

cap_ions show s_range characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, i_
is not a malfunction of the _devision. If you canno_ display any
cap_ions on the screen, please keep in mind tha_ not all broadcasts,
video tapes, or laserdiscs supply closed captSon signals. Addition-
ally, captions might no_ appear if you are playing a video tape that
is worn or de_erioratod, or startSng _o play a [aserdisc or video tape

from s_ill or search mode.

IRIS '_'is the Intelligent Room Illumination (light) Sensor. You may choose to
set it on or off. When IRIS is on, it will automatically optimize picture

contrast and brightness for the room lighting, and the brightness and con-

trast cannot be manually adjusted.

Contrast provides a scale that controls the level of white-to-black in the
picture. When the contrast is low, you will be able to see the variety of

shades in the darker images on the screen. When the contrast is high, the
screen's dark images will appear more uniformly black, but this will also

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.

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

Tint provides a scale that adjusts the proportion of red to green in the pic-
ture. This determines the delicate tones of color.

Color Temp (Color temperature) allows you to set how the TV will display

white images. Your choices are "Low," "Middle" or "High".

*With the Low setting, white images on-screen will have a warm cast to

them. This setting represents the 6500°K industry standard.

• With the Middle setting, white images on-screen will be balanced be-
tween the above warm and cool setting.

• With the High setting, white images on-screen will have a cool cast to
them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright
lighting.

Auto Picture for Antenna A and Antenna B, senses the tuner signal

strength and adjusts color and sharpness to optimize the picture for the
signal conditions. The default setting for this feature is off. When turned on,
sharpness and color cannot be manually adjusted.

Balance adjusts the level of sound between the left and right speakers.

Adjust the scale until the sound seems to come equally from both speakers.
Treble enhances or reduces high frequency sound.
Bass enhances or reduces low frequency sound.

Level Sound allows the TV to automatically equalize the volume level of
programs that contain significant sound level differences for example, from

regular programming to commercials. To receive the best audio fidelity for

music programs, you may want to turn this setting off.

Listen to for An_nna A or Ant_ma B allows you to determine how your TV

will receive a broadcast audio signal and play back the sound that you hear.
You can set this function to "Stereo," "S.A.P." or "Mono."

• For almost all situations, you should choose Stereo. With this setting,
the TV will play stereo broadcasts in stereo and mono broadcasts in
mono. If a channel is broadcasting in stereo, the word "Stereo" will
display when you tune to that channel.

• Some TV stations will broadcast second audio program, or S.A.P. signal.
This signal is an additional monaural soundtrack that you can't hear
during normal TV viewing. The S.A.P. signal might be related to the
program you are watching, such as a soundtrack in a foreign language,
or it might be unrelated; for example, a weather report. If a channel is
broadcasting the S.A.P. signal, the letters "SAP" will appear on-screen
when you tune to that channel. Choose "Listen to: SAP" to hear the
S.A.P. signal.

• Use the Mono setting if you are receiving a weak stereo audio signal.
This setting will reduce background noise. The TV will then only play in
mono, even if the program you are watching is in stereo.

PIP AUDIO OUT allows you to hear sound that is being broadcast through
the displayed PIP. Stereo, SAP, Mono or DTV languages, as available, can be
heard through an amplifier or wireless headphones connected to the PIP
AUDIO outputs (on the back of the television). Once connected, if the PIP is
not displayed you will be able to hear the main TV program through the
headphones.

If Antenna B is in the main picture and the PIP, PIP AUDIO OUT will
perform the same function as "Listen To".

SURROUND creates simulated stereo and surround effects. You can set this
setting to "Off," "Simulate" or "Surround sound."

• Select "Off' if you do not want to use any surround effects.

• Select "Simulate" if you are watching a monaural non-stereo
program. Your TV will create a simulated stereo effect.

• Select "Surround sound" if you are watching a stereo program.

Your TV will create a simulated surround effect, making the

sound seem to extend around and behind you using the TV's
internal speakers.

[_Important: To turn the speakers on or off, use the "A/V CONNECTION" menu.

Set the surround setting to "OFF" when using an A/V receiver with
