The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of

the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving this TV. A minimum of two adults should lift or move the TV.

Portions of the advanced circuitry of this TV will sometimes operate while the TV is turned off. This allows the TV to download guide information and CableCARD™ updates. A cooling fan may switch on during these standby periods and may be heard in a quiet environment. This is normal operation. Also, the main cooling fan will operate at all times while the TV is turned on and during the lamp cool-down period just after turning off the TV (approximately one minute). This is also normal operation.

Custom cabinet installation must allow for proper air circulation around the television.

For more information call your local cable operator.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Please read the following safeguards for your TV and retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television.

1. Read, Retain and Follow All Instructions

Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions.

2. Heed Warnings

Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions.

3. Cleaning

Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid, abrasive or aerosol cleaners. Cleaners can permanently damage the cabinet and screen. Use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning.

4. 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.

5. Water and Moisture

Do not use the TV where contact with or immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath tubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc.

6. Accessories

Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use mounting accessories 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.

7. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator or heat register. If the TV 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.

8. Power Source

This TV 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.

9. Grounding or Polarization

This TV 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.

10. 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 TV.

11. Lightning

For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.

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.

13. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

14. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shortout parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the TV.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002,

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.

16. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the TV 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. (c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. (d) If the TV 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 to its normal operation. (e) If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. (f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

18. 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.

19. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repair to the TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

Special Features

Your new High Definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:

Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability information and service details.

NetCommand® Home Network Control System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking to combine selected older products with new and future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy protection and IR control of selected older products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes or satellite receivers. NetCommand includes the ability to learn remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to customize the NetCommand system in a way that works best for your viewing.

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format

Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

TV Guide On Screen® Interactive Program Guide

An eight-day on-screen program guide that can be used with cable, over-the-air and CableCARD™ reception. The subscription-free guide system lists regular, digital and high-def inti on programming. This system allows multiple sorting options and easy program recording. Program listings are downloaded while your TV is turned off, so that you have current program information available every day. Note that when the system is first set up, it may take up to 24 hours to begin to receive TV program listings. It may take one week to receive all eight days of TV program listings.

Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition satellite receiver, cable box, or DVD player. This input supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video formats. It is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals at computer resolutions, such as SVGA or XGA.

This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable will be necessary to make this connection and may be available from your local electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left and right audio from your DVI device.

This input is High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection compliant (HDCP).

6. Output: Audio Output, Record Output

AUDIO OUTPUT sends analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire® (DTV Link/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If you do not have a digital A/V receiver, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your analog A/V receiver or stereo system.

RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a VCR for recording purposes. These signals may not be the same as those of the program that is currently being shown on screen. Signals from digital channels and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog signals. There is no video signal when copy restrictions are in effect. Audio alone is output when Component 1, 2, or 3, or the HDMI input is selected for recording.

7. Service Port

This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only or for authorized software updates.

8. DVI Analog Audio

Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI.

Chapter 1. Television Overview

Back Panel, continued

9. DTV Link/IEEE 1394

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks are provided for this purpose, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in connecting your NetCommand®-controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

10. CableCARD™ Slot

The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card should face up as indicated by the direction of the CARD TOP arrow. When you use the CableCARD Slot, you must connect the cable to ANT-1.

CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 22 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.

If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided and authorized by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.

11. Digital Audio Output

This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. In most cases, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V receiver. If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.

A Note About Temporary Residual Images

Prolonged display of stationary images on your TV may cause faint, residual “ghost” images to be visible when viewing other programs. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY. The residual images will disappear within days or weeks. Most TV and DVD programming is of generally uniform brightness and will not produce this effect.

To prevent the appearance of residual images:

• Avoid display of stationary images for extended periods on this or any other LCD projection TV. Examples of such images include:

∙ Stationary images that may be part of video games and web pages ∙ Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video ∙ Side bars displayed with narrow-format video (see definition on page 80) ∙ Top and bottom bars displayed with letter-box video (see definition on page 80)

• Mix regular TV and video programming with uses that display stationary images.

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio

video devices not already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or

learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the

TV and A/V receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also

assigns preset TV and A/V receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and video) and to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.

The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V receiver. Chart 1 shows TV inputs. Chart 2 shows the A/V receiver inputs used by A/V receiver models already known by NetCommand. Only audio

should be connected to the A/V receiver.

CableCARD™ Technology

CableCARD Technology

CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows your TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription, without the use of a cable box. It also allows your cable provider to automatically update and change your subscription. When you move to a new cable provider’s area, you simply return the CableCARD to the original cable provider and get a new card from your new cable provider.

Please note that CableCARD is a new technology and your local cable provider may not currently be offering this service. As time passes, this system will become broadly supported by most cable providers.

The CableCARD system is “unidirectional” which means your cable provider can send updates to the access card and TV, however, the TV cannot send back signals such as requests for Video-On-Demand or Pay-per-View request by remote control.

Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD will be available on the FireWire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. Some digital channels or programs may not be copied or recorded because of copy restriction limits set by the content owners or copyright holders.

Using a CableCARD

After inserting a CableCARD into the TV back panel CableCARD slot and powering On the TV, the initialization process begins. An initial screen will automatically display for a few minutes, with information that your Cable Provider will need in order to start service. Please write down this information before calling your cable provider.

An example of an initial screen is shown here. Your screen will display specific information from your cable provider and may not look exactly like this screen.

If you were unable to write down the information, you can press TV MENU on the remote and then enter the number 999 and the screen will re-display. You can also press DEVICE MENU when the CableCARD is the selected source and you will be able to select the startup application.

The digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A security card (CableCARD) provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide and data-enhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable operator.

Please see page 20 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.

Chapter 2. Connecting

IMPORTANT

To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming

cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.

The red cable connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel. If your VCR is mono (non-stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.

7. Connect either an S-Video or Video cable from VIDEO OUT on the VCR back panel to INPUT 1 VIDEO on the

TV back panel. Only one type of video cable should

be connected. S-Video is recommended, if available.

8. For NetCommand® controlled recordings, connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO IN on the VCR back panel to RECORD OUTPUT AUDIO-LEFT (MONO) and

AUDIO-RIGHT on the TV back panel. The red cable

connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel.

9. Complete the NetCommand controlled recordings connections by connecting a Video cable from VIDEO IN on the VCR back panel to RECORD OUTPUT

VIDEO on the TV back panel.

Note: With this connection configuration, it is possible to view live cable programs through the VCR. For best picture quality, however, always view live cable programs directly from the cable box instead of the VCR.
