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.

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:

High Definition DLP™ Display System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing™ technology. This TV is truly

a high performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both stunning high definition video images and clear

detailed high resolution PC images. Your TV is able to accept video signals in the standard video scanning rates of 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. It is also able to accept signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768). When using a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also able to accept the

custom PC resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). All signals will be converted to 720p for final display.

TV Disc Internal Personal Video Recorder (PVR)

TV Disc is an internal 120GB high definition hard disk drive recorder (also called a personal video recorder or

PVR). It is able to record digital and analog programs received from CableCARD™ channels, Antenna 1, Antenna

2, devices connected to Input 1, 2, 3 or IEEE 1394 devices. This exciting feature may record as much as 12 hours of

high definition TV programming and includes live TV pause with instant replay. Now you can record a high definition

program and watch it later without any picture quality loss and without a VCR. Recordings on the TV Disc can be

sent by IEEE 1394 to D-VHS VCRs or to other IEEE 1394 compatible TVs. When recording analog programs, TV Disc

will even use Dolby Digital Record to convert the analog stereo to high quality digital stereo compatible with Dolby

Digital decoding surround receivers.

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.

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

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

11. M-Link/RS-232C Control

A digital control interface that works in conjunction with M-Link. While M-Link provides the digital video signal, the RS-232 control provides enhanced functioning such as automatic power ON/OFF and input port selection with an external control system. For RS-232C command protocol please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

12. Digital Audio Output

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver’s coaxial digital audio input. The output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device, except when using the TV Disc, which converts analog audio to digital. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog sound to your A/V receiver.

9. 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.

10. HDMI™/M-Link

M-Link(MonitorLink™) is a Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for the display of high quality digital video signals from Mitsubishi products, such as the HD-6000 HDTV Receiver/Controller.

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports

uncompressed standard and high definition digital video formats and existing digital multi-channel audio formats.

Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition receiver or DVD player. This input supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i

Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can damage speakers. For this reason, the TV will automatically turn off the digital audio output when tuned to a channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and right audio from Monitor Output.

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.

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 programs 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 like this screen.

If you were unable to record 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 dataenhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable operator.

Please see page 19 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.

IMPORTANT

To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 17

A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the

NetCommand system to control other devices such as

VCRs, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.

2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, along side or over the top of each device to be controlled to the area of the front where the remote control sensor is located.

3. Place the emitter end in front of the remote control sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter bulb should face the remote control sensor. This bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern.

The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the

remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to include the sensor.

6. If you are not going to be using all emitter ends, place the unused ends behind the devices so that they cannot send signals to the remote control sensors.

The remote control sensor is usually behind the

plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible when you look through the display plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, you can find it by using the

device’s remote control. Hold the remote about 1/2

inch from the front of the device. Starting from one

end of the display window plastic, press the POWER

button.

If the device does not respond, move the remote control 1 inch toward the center and try again.

Repeat this until the device responds. Note this location then start over from the other end of the

display window plastic, repeating until the device

responds again. The remote control sensor will be somewhere between these two positions. This is usually enough accuracy for the placement of the IR

emitters.

4. With some devices, the emitter will work better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.

5. The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.

Figure 17. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand

IMPORTANT

If a single emitter end can be placed in a position that will operate more than one device, do not use a separate emitter end for the additional device. A single device receiving remote control signals from too many emitters or remote controls may not respond at all.

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE

1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with

the NetCommand® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types

of digital video, such as DV video provided by some camcorders, must be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as analog video or S-Video. If the camcorder uses a compatible digital control system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the TV is viewing the analog video or S-Video signals.

2. Digital Audio Signals

When received with video signals, the TV is able to decode Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other types of digital audio as provided by some digital recording devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE

1394.

The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital

audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.

3. Digital Control Signal

The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394

audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control standards.

• EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics. However, this standard does not allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.

When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

• Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.

• Place devices that have only a mechanical (twoposition) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the On position. When turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other devices.

• Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, the slower device should be the source and the faster device should be the sync.

• Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.

• This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer distances and multiroom applications. Included in the IEEE

1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b

converters to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394a devices.

• AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed to provide basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection and volume, as appropriate for the device.

Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices. For example, there may be a recording device that is also a tuning device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit. When you select a device on the Device Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear so you can select which sub-unit section you wish to use.

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices, continued

Connection Styles

There are two different connection styles that can be used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that fits your network of audio/video products.

Direct Device-To-Device Style

The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain

devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you had to individually connect each device directly to the TV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 DVD Player and then connect the

1394 DVD Player to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394

chain will allow you to add more devices to the chain.

You will be able to see each video device on the TV’s

Device Selection Menu and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.

Hub Connection Style

4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors

There are two different types of connectors used for

IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin style.

The 4-pin connector sends

digital audio signals, digital video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices.

Your TV has three 4-pin type

connection jacks available. One is on the front panel and two are on the back.

The 6-pin connector is capable

of sending the same digital audio, video and control signals as the

4-pin connector, but the 6-pin

connector is also able to send low voltage electrical power. This TV does not have 6 pin connectors.

The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to

provide the needed operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector

can send this electrical power to another device, or

receive electrical power from another device, or simply use a 6-pin connector without using the two additional pins.

The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to

connect your devices using the TV as a hub within the audio/video network. Each device can send information, which may include audio and video, to any other device in the network.

A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin

jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device, you will need to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor or adaptor cable. These cables are available from electronic and computer stores.

When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder)

to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device) you will need to connect the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the

camcorder’s battery for power. If this is not possible,

then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power.

Connecting: Helpful Hints

Q My VCR (or other device) does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs. How can I connect this device’s audio to both the TV and the A/V Receiver?

A. There are two solutions:

1. Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only. Use Edit NetCommand® to change the setup of this device. In the Connection screen of “Change” make sure both audio and video for the TV input are checkmarked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device’s audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details.

2. Use RCA type “Y” splitter cables to split the device’s audio output to be connected to both the TV and the A/V Receiver.

Q. I have both the TV monitor stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designation on my A/V Receiver. How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio?

A. This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when

a digital audio signal is supplied. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched by remote control. For these types of A/V Receivers, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of these features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V Receiver.

Q. The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control sensor of the A/V Receiver. What can I do?

A. There are several possible solutions.

1. Mount the IR Emitter on the top, front edge of the A/V Receiver over the remote control sensor. Use tape to secure it in place.

2. Mount the IR Emitter on the underside of the shelf above the A/V Receiver (if the A/V Receiver is in a cabinet). Use double sided tape to secure it in place.

3. Some small stick-on emitters from other manufacturers may be compatible with this TV’s IR Emitter jacks.

These may be used instead of the supplied IR Emitters.

Q. I occasionally need to see the menu from my A/V Receiver. How can I connect it to the TV for this purpose?

A. You can connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the TV. Then use Edit

NetCommand to “Add” this as an “Other” device, not an A/V Receiver. On the “Connection” screen, indicate which TV input was used and checkmark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not checkmarked. You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu. You can also use Input 3 (Camcorder) on the front panel.

Q. I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would like to be able use as well. Is there any way to connect this receiver both ways?

A. Yes, this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu. Just add this unit once using the Input-DTV

and once using one of the S-video inputs. Make sure you indicate that this is the same manufacturer for both. We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S-video to the TV so that you do not need to use two inputs on the A/V Receiver. If this is a NetCommand compatible HDTV receiver and HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of this feature.

Using the Remote Control with NetCommand

Below is a list of several manufacturers devices tested and shown to be compatible with NetCommand. These devices can be controlled without changing the setting of the remote control from TV to another product. NetCommand may be able to operate additional models since many manufacturers use the same control signals to operate some or all of the

models they offer. This chart lists only the models that have been tested with NetCommand. The NetCommand Learning feature is able to learn the remote control signals of most Audio Video devices. For devices not listed in the table, or if your device does not operate using the same remote control as the models listed below, use the learning feature by

selecting “Other” at the [Device] screen. See the Edit NetCommand section of this Guide.

NOTE: There are many different types of remotes and not all of them may be compatible with the learning feature. Bright light near the TV screen can also adversely affect the learning feature. If it is not possible to learn a device, you will need

to use the original remote control of the device, or program the TV remote to operate these devices in the traditional

manner.

IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand® Control

See pages 30-31 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles. The TV is not able to control IEEE 1394 devices that use other types of control protocols. Incompatible digital audio, video and/or control information will still be able to pass from one device through the TV to another device on the network. These incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand menu.

NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the “Learn” Feature.

Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite receivers will not have compatible digital control signals or require the use of the device’s own remote control. Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display on-screen information through the IEEE 1394 connection and will require using an analog connection for on-screen displays. In many cases, to control these digital devices, the Learning feature of NetCommand can be used.

1. Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device’s remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 29).

2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 51) use ADJUST and ENTER to check mark the Analog Connection box.

3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 52) of DBS or similar tuning device.

4. If desired, using the ADJUST buttons enter a custom Name on the Name screen (Figure 18, page 46).

5. At the Device screen, Select “Other” as a manufacturer and then highlight “Learn” and press Next (Figure 4, page 52).

6. Follow the device learning instructions found on the screen(s) or in the Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.

7. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 52) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs.

8. Proceed with the Finish screen.

This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices.

Note: When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections, the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice. The first press of GUIDE will display the TV’s digital channel guide. The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the

TV network and is powered On, the new device will

automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce their presence to the TV. The TV will not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection menu, however, they can coexist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.

IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/DBS/DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation.

TV Pause

TV Pause is a special feature of the internal TV Disc personal video recorder (PVR). TV Pause is available for CableCARD™, Ant-1, Ant-2, IEEE 1394 input and tuning devices (cable boxes or satellite receivers connected to Inputs 1,2 or 3).

This feature allows you to press PAUSE to “pause” live TV. You can then search backwards or forwards through the current TV program. When you pause the TV program, an on-screen slider will show approximately how far and in which direction(s) you can search.

TV Pause has three settings:

• On Request: TV Pause is in the standby mode until you press PAUSE for the first time after turning on the TV, or after a channel or device change. There will be a few seconds delay before a paused picture appears. During this pause, you will not be able to scan or skip backwards in the TV Program. Later uses of TV Pause while in the same program, will allow reverse scan or skip of the available TV program as shown on the slider. The TV Pause will return to the standby mode automatically when you change the channel or device. The PIP/POP features are available only when TV Pause is in the standby mode and not enabled.

Setup Menu, continued

• Always: Press PAUSE, REW, FF or any ADJUST button to pause the program and scan or skip within the program. You can skip or scan backwards through the available programming as indicated on the slider. You can also scan or skip forward to catch up to the live broadcast. You cannot skip or scan backward to a point before the last channel or device change. In the Always setting, the PIP/POP features are not available. To use the PIP/POP features, select the Off or On Request setting for TV Pause.

• Off: This mode prevents the TV Pause function, however, full screen picture freeze is available. If you do not expect to use the TV Pause features, we recommend the Off or On Request mode. This mode allows PIP/POP features to be used.

V-Chip Rating Guidelines

V-Chip Signal Information

When provided by the broadcaster, V-Chip ratings can be used to control which programs can be viewed or will be blocked. When V-Chip ratings are sent, you will see the ratings when you change the channel or when you press the INFO button on the remote control. Both TV and Movie ratings will display. TV ratings apply to programs and movies developed for TV and may

have supplemental blocking by content categories. Movie ratings use MPAA ratings for movies released in theaters.

V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS:

1. V-Chip is not effective for programs viewed on devices connected to Component input or HDMI.

2. Videotapes, laser discs and DVDs may not contain V-Chip rating signals. If they don’t contain the V-Chip signal,

V-Chip cannot block the program or movie.

3. Broadcasters are not currently required to include V-Chip rating signals at this time. If the broadcaster does

not include the V-Chip rating signal, V-Chip cannot block the program.

TV Ratings:

Used with TV programs and Made-for-TV movies.

TV-Y Youth, for children under the age of 7. TV-Y7 Youth, 7 years old and older. For children 7 years old and older. TV-G General Audience. For the entire family to view. TV-PG Parental Guidance. Parental Guidance is recommended, may not

Display Formats

This is a widescreen TV (also known as a 16:9 TV). This shape reflects the new types of images available from HDTV

and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there will never be a perfect solution for displaying a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats to choose from.

Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last used format for each device will be used when you return to that device.

Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP. Side-by-Side, 3 POP and 9 POP are only available in Standard and Expand formats. PC formats vary depending on PC signal.

Signals and Formats Definitions:

480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from

or through Ant-1 & 2, Inputs 1-3, Component 1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.

480p Signals: Progressive scan analog DVD signals on

Ant-1 & 2, Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.

720p & 1080i Signals: High definition analog signals

received through Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.

These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3: Standard definition narrow screen format

signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard definition wide screen format signals

from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful to remove or reduce the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch: This format will stretch a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than the sides. This will allow the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than seen in the Standard format. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Narrow: This format will display narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and add stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for analog 1080i, 720p, digital SD

16:9 and digital HD signals.

HD: High definition wide screen format signals from

digital channels and IEEE-1394 devices. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

Standard: This is the full screen format. HDTV signals use this format. This format is useful to display

Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect

ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will still display black bars at the top and bottom, but will show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:

3) images will be stretched evenly from side to side.

Available for all signals.

Expand: This will enlarge the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom.

This is useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom

bars of non-anamorphic DVD. Available for analog

480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

DVD Definitions:

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for Widescreen TV’s):

These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets in the Standard format mode. This is the recommended choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letterbox or Full Screen):

These DVDs are recorded for use with traditional shaped TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1: 33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or Letterboxed which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may or may not be listed on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.

Net command® IEEE 1394 System Compatibility: This television is designed to conform to IEEE 1394 AV/C Software standards in effect at the time of development. This exciting new networking and control technology is designed to provide high-performance digital connections and product control, making the product easier to use.

Mitsubishi D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV in audio, video and control. Many DV camcorders that have IEEE 1394 connections will be compatible with the control features of this TV, but not compatible with the audio or video decoder.

As other manufacturers distribute products that use the IEEE 1394 AV/C standards, they will be responsible for developing products that meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other products. Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these other products. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers products should be brought to the attention of those manufacturers.

Appendix F: Cleaning and Service

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use any kind of abrasive cleaner

on the surface of the TV screen or

Diamond Shield™.

Cleaning

Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is needed, please use the following guidelines:

First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Top and Sides of the TV:

• Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive cloth such as cotton flannel or a clean cloth diaper, lightly moistened with water. Dry with a second dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.

• For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid detergent, such as dishwashing detergent to the water used to moisten

the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moistened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Diamond Shield™:

• Clean with a soft non-abrasive cloth moistened with water only.

Screen behind the Diamond Shield:

• Follow the instructions for the top and sides, however, wipe gently in an up and down motion, following the

grooves in the screen.

• Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the screen.

• Do not allow liquid to drip down the grooves of the screen as some liquid may enter the TV between the screen

and the screen frame.

• You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part number CLEANER-VSS, by calling (800) 553-7278.

General Cleaning Warnings:

• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots or any crevice.

• DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners as these can scratch the surfaces.

• DO NOT use any cleaners with ammonia, bleach, alcohol, benzine, or thinners as these can dull the surfaces.

• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surfaces.

• DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe it gently.

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.

Menus not described and shown in this owner’s guide are designed for Factory use and for Authorized Service Personnel. Damage caused to the TV by non-authorized changes or changes to these menus made by nonauthorized persons are not covered under warranty.

Appendix G: Diamond Shield™ Removal

The Diamond Shield is installed by the factory to enhance your television viewing experience. If you want to remove the Diamond Shield, please follow the steps listed below:

To Remove the Diamond Shield:

1. While wearing soft cotton gloves, loosen the sides of the Diamond Shield by pressing a small plastic card (the size of a standard credit card or a clean, plastic, putty knife) into the middle of the side slot. The Diamond Shield side will snap out of the top middle and bottom clips. Loosen both sides before proceeding to step 2.

2. After the sides are free, gently push down on the top of the Diamond Shield. It will slide out of the top channel.

3 Carefully pull the screen up to remove it from the

bottom channel. Store the Diamond Shield in a clean, dust free area, where it will not be scratched.

To Install the Diamond Shield:

4. Slide the Diamond Shield into the bottom channel, making sure it fits securely.

5. Press gently on the top of the Diamond Shield to slightly bow the screen towards you. Insert the top of the Diamond Shield into the top channel. It should fit securely.

6. At each side, gently press the top, middle and

bottom of the Diamond Shield to snap it back into place.

WARNING

Sharp edges! Always wear gloves to handle, lift, install and remove the Diamond Shield.

For further assistance, call

(800) 332-2119.

Appendix H: Lamp Cartridge Replacement

Before you replace the lamp cartridge please note the following:

CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn off and allow the television to cool

for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

LAMP LIFE The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The actual life of the lamp in this television can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently.

Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from date of the original purchase at retail. However, it is likely that the lamp will last significantly longer than this. When the end of the lamp's life is approaching, the TV will display a warning message for one minute, when the TV is powered on. The purpose of this message is to advise you that the lamp may fail soon. This warning message will continue to be displayed every time the TV is turned on, until the lamp cartridge is replaced and the lamp's status is reset.

After replacing the lamp cartridge, when you power on the TV, the message "Did you change the lamp? Press ENTER for Yes, press CANCEL for No" will appear, press ENTER to reset.

To order a new lamp cartridge, please call (800) 553-7278 and order part number 915P020010.

WARNING:

Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because of the lamp's high temperature. Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

Do not remove the lamp cartridge, except when replacing. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.

Do not touch the lamp element directly. It may break and cause you to have injuries or burns.

Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electrical shock. If any object is inserted into the opening unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.

Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.

The lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

101

Appendix H: Lamp Cartridge Replacement, continued

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

Tool needed: Phillips screwdriver

1. Turn the television off and unplug the AC cord.

2. Open the front panel by pressing in the center of the glossy panel, above the diamond. The panel will lower and you can access the lamp cartridge.

3. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws (one on the left and two on the right side) that hold the recessed plastic cover in place.
