nlike typical television
manufacturers, we have based our
U
capabilities in North America at our
California headquarters. As a result,
the engineers who design our television
products live in the same communities as our
customers. They know how our customers
think and what their goals and desires
are. They know that today’s consumer has
never been more sophisticated and that the
way to reach that consumer is to deliver
technically advanced products at prices that
our competition simply can’t match.

How Connections Affect the PIP
To see a picture in the PIP inset, you may
need to select an input source. If the only
input connected is ANT-A, then both the
main picture and the PIP insert will be from
that input source. If other video equipment
is connected, you may be able to view these
input sources as the PIP insert. When
connecting your new Mitsubishi bigscreen,
it is important to understand which main
picture and PIP input sources can and
cannot be used together. Table 1 shows
which inputs can and cannot be used
together and their limitations. To see which
input is being displayed as the main picture,
press INFO on the TV remote control. To
see which input is being displayed as the
PIP and for PIP operating instructions, see
Operation of PIP, pages 50-51.

How Connections Affect the System 4 Home Theater IR Control
Models VS-60719 and VS-70709
The Mitsubishi System 4 Home Theater IR
Control is a special feature that makes it
easier to use your TV with a digital surround
sound A/V receiver. Once your equipment
is properly connected and set up, your TV
and digital A/V receiver will change inputs
together, to match your selected video input
with the corresponding audio input.
When you change inputs on your TV to
watch different video products, your TV will
send signals via your remote control and the
infrared emitters to your digital A/V receiver
to change inputs. You will automatically
hear the high quality digital surround sound
from digital products like your DVD player,
and high quality analog stereo or surround
sound from non-digital products like your
VCR.
Additionally, all IR remote signals from your
Mitsubishi remote or other manufacturers
remote will be passed through your TV to
your A/V devices. Your A/V devices can
be hidden or behind cabinet doors and controlled by pointing the remote at the TV.

Do not display the same stationary images on the screen for more that 15%

letterbox top/bottom bars from DVD or other video sources, side bars when showing standard
TV pictures on widescreen TV’s, stock market reports, video game patterns, station logos, web
sites, or stationary computer images. Such patterns can unevenly age the picture tubes causing
permanent damage to the TV. Please see pages 21 and 52 for a detailed explanation.

Warning: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for
extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown.
Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
The normal use of a TV should include
a mixture of TV picture types. The most
frequently used picture types should ll
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. To avoid this, mix your viewing
pattern. Do not show the same stationary
image for more than 15% of your total TV
viewing in any one week. Display con-
stantly moving and changing images that
ll the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to
project the image onto the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they
age, their light output is gradually reduced.
Normal TV pictures ll the screen with
constantly changing images. Under these
conditions, picture tubes age at an even
rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over
the whole screen. Stationary images or
images that only partially ll the screen
(leaving black or colored bars to ll 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
Still or stationary images may be received
from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes,
laser discs, on-line services, web/internet
searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes. Examples of
these types of images can be, but are not
limited to the following:
Letterbox top/bottom black bars:
shown at the top and bottom of the TV
screen when you watch a widescreen
(16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.
Side bar images: solid bars shown on
each side of an image when watching
a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.
Stock-market report bars: ticker run-
ning at the bottom of the TV screen.
Shopping channel logos & pricing dis-
plays: bright graphics that are shown con-
stantly or repeatedly in the same location.
Video game patterns and scoreboardsBright station logos: moving or low-
contrast graphics are less likely to cause
uneven aging of the picture tubes.
On-line (internet) web sites: or any
other stationary or repetitive computer style
images.

Remote Control Functions: System 4 Home Theater IR Control
Models VS-60719 and VS-70709
The Mitsubishi System 4 Home Theater IR
Control is a special feature that makes it
easier to use your TV with a digital surround
sound A/V receiver. Once your equipment
is properly connected and set up, your TV
and digital A/V receiver will change inputs
together, to match your selected video input
with the corresponding audio input.
When you change inputs on your TV to
watch different video products, your TV will
send signals via your remote control and the
infrared emitters to your digital A/V receiver
to change inputs. You will automatically
hear the high quality digital surround sound
from digital products like your DVD player,
and high quality analog stereo or surround
sound from non-digital products like your
VCR.
Additionally, all IR remote signals from your
Mitsubishi remote or other manufacturers
remote will be passed through your TV to
your A/V devices. Your A/V devices can
be hidden or behind cabinet doors and controlled by pointing the remote at the TV.

Part IV: Operation
Warning: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for
extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown.
Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The normal use of a TV should include
a mixture of TV picture types. The most
frequently used picture types should ll
the screen with constantly moving images
rather than stationary images or patterns.
Displaying the same stationary patterns
over extended periods of time, or display-
ing the same stationary pattern frequently
can 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 total TV
viewing in any one week. Display con-
stantly moving and changing images that
ll the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to
project the image onto the screen. All
picture tubes age with use. As they
age, their light output is gradually reduced.
Normal TV pictures ll the screen with
constantly changing images. Under these
conditions, picture tubes age at an even
rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over
the whole screen. Stationary images or
images that only partially ll the screen
(leaving black or colored bars to ll 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.
Still or stationary images may be received
from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes,
laser discs, on-line services, web/internet
searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes. Examples of
these types of images can be, but are not
limited to the following:
Letterbox top/bottom black bars:
shown at the top and bottom of the TV
screen when you watch a widescreen
(16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.
Side bar images: solid bars shown on
each side of an image when watching
a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.
Stock-market report bars: ticker run-
ning at the bottom of the TV screen.
Shopping channel logos & pricing dis-
plays: bright graphics that are shown con-
stantly or repeatedly in the same location.
Video game patterns and scoreboardsBright station logos: moving or low-
contrast graphics are less likely to cause
uneven aging of the picture tubes.
On-line (internet) web sites: or any
other stationary or repetitive computer style
images.

Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
After you set the lock, you need your
passcode to view a V-Chip locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the
lock, or enter the V-Chip lock menus.
If you forget your passcode, you can
view the locked TV without entering your
passcode. This is done by pressing the
number 9 and QV buttons on the remote
TV control at the same time, when your
passcode is requested. This process
temporarily unlocks the TV.
When entering the V-Chip Lock menu,
this process deletes your old passcode
and prompts you to enter a new passcode.
Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
Cut along the dotted line and le bypass
instructions in a safe place for future
reference.
When changing or deleting your
passcode, you must use the remote
control included with this TV. You
cannot use a Mitsubishi remote control
from another component or a “universal”
remote.
Normally, light dusting with a dry, nonscratching duster will keep your TV clean.
Use care when cleaning your TV with any
other product. If you want to gently wipe
down your TV with a lightly moistened soft
cloth, rst turn off and unplug your TV. You
can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent
to the water for oily dirt.
DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV
through the ventilation slots.
DO NOT use strong or abrasive clean-
ers.
DO NOT use spray liquids or cleaners
directly on the TV’s surface.
DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly.
When cleaning the screen behind the
Diamond Shield™, wipe GENTLY up
and down with the grooves. Do not
allow any liquid to drip down the screen
into the TV.
Service
If you are unable to correct a problem with
your TV, consult your Mitsubishi dealer or
a Mitsubishi Authorized Warranty Service
Center.
DO NOT adjust any controls other than
those described in this Owner’s Guide.
DO NOT remove the protective back
cover of your TV.

owner’s guide are designed for Factory use
and for Authorized Service Personnel. If
you see a menu or display not described
in this owner’s guide, make no changes to
the settings, turn off the TV to clear the displays and return to normal operation. Nonauthorized changes and changes made by
non-authorized persons may void all or part
of the warranty.
