How Connections Affect the PIP and POP
To see a picture in the PIP or POP 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/POP 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/POP insert. When connecting your new
Mitsubishi bigscreen, it is important to understand which main picture and PIP/POP input
sources can and cannot be used together.
Table 1 shows which inputs can and cannot
be used together and the limitations they
may require. To see if 480i, DTV 480p,
1080i, Component-1 or Component-2 480p
is being displayed as the main picture, press
INFO on the TV remote control. The onscreen display, gure 1, will list 480i, 480p
or 1080i when those signals are being
received. See Operation of PIP and POP,
pages 58-59, for operating instructions. An
asterisk (*) displayed after the signal type
indicates that the signal being received is
a non-standard format. A non-standard
format signal may or may not display properly in a PIP/POP inset. See Operation of
PIP and POP, pages 58-59, for operating
instructions.
Table 1. *No Side-by-Side with the same channel.
**No Side-by-Side with the same input.
Figure 1. On-screen display will show 480i, 480p, or

How Connections Affect the Home Theater IR System
The Mitsubishi Home Theater IR System
Control is a special feature that makes it
easier to use your TV with a Mitsubishi
digital A/V receiver (M-VR700, M-VR800,
M-VR900, or M-VR1000). Once your equipment is properly connected and set up, your
TV and Mitsubishi digital A/V receiver will
change inputs together, to match high resolution pictures with the proper surround sound.
When you change inputs on your TV to
watch different video products, your TV will
send signals via the infrared emitter to your
Mitsubishi digital A/V receiver and will also
change inputs to hear the sound from that
product. You will automatically hear the high
quality digital surround sound from digital
products like your DTV receiver and DVD
player, and high quality analog stereo or surround sound from non-digital products like
your VCR.
Part II: Installation
Special Setups: A/V Equipment

The Active AV Network is a special feature
that makes it easier to use your TV and
Mitsubishi VCR equipped with Active AV Network. This feature will automate common
TV-to-VCR functions. For Mitsubishi VCRs
having an AV Network, but not an Active
AV Network, this connection will pass the
remote control commands to your hidden
VCR.
Connect the Active AV Network cable
from ACTIVE A/V NETWORK on the TV
back panel to ACTIVE A/V NETWORK
IN, or A/V NETWORK IN on the back
of your Mitsubishi VCR. The end of the
cable with the Ferrite Core should be
connected to the TV
Turn the Active AV Network on through
the A/V Connection Menu, page 32.

Part II: Installation
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 constantly moving and changing images that
ll the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to
project the image to 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.

IRIS™ is the Intelligent Room Illumi-
nation (light) Sensor. When IRIS™ is
on, your TV will automatically adjust picture contrast and brightness for best
quality (Contrast and Brightness cannot
be adjusted manually).
Contrast provides a slider to adjust
the white-to-black level. Low contrast
shows a variety of shades in darker
images, while high contrast shows
darker images more uniformly black and
makes colors appear more vibrant.
Brightness provides a slider to adjust
the overall brightness of the picture.
Sharpness provides a slider to adjust
the detail and clarity.
Color provides a slider to adjust the
color intensity.
Tint provides a slider to adjust the pro-
portion of red to green.
Part III: Setup
Video Noise reduces minor noise (grain-
iness) in the broadcast or input signal.
Image Type maximizes the original
camera media; Video or Film. Video
media uses a video camera and is created at 30 frames per second. Film
media uses a lm camera and is created at 24 frames per second. Examples of Video media are live TV
broadcast such as news, special events,
or video taped programs. Examples of
lm media are motion pictures, madefor-TV movies, and many prime time programs. Filmed media is converted by
the broadcaster or home video company
to 30 frames per second to match TV or
video standards. This conversion can
leave subtle “picture artifacts” or conversion errors. Setting the Image Type to
Film can reduce the picture artifacts and
improve the picture quality.
A/V Setting Descriptions: Video
Color Temp (Color Temperature) allows
you to adjust how white images are displayed. Your choices are:
• Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images
will have a warm cast to them. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to
ambient room lighting, video scene brightness and the TV’s age. The Low 6500K
represents the 6500K industry standard for
NTSC (non-DTV) pictures.
• Medium: White images will be balanced
between the Low (warm) and High (cool)
settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast
to them. This setting may provide the most
realistic picture under bright lighting.

Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as
a 16:9 TV). This shape reects 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 ve available display
formats.
When displaying HDTV (1080i) signals,
the FORMAT control will not operate. All
HD signals will automaticaly be shown
using the Standard format , and will ll

Standard (Default format for DTV, Inputs
1-4, and Component inputs): This is the full
screen format. HDTV signals will automatically use this format. This format is
also useful to display Anamorphic DVDs
that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios.
Anamorphic DVDs that have the 2.35:1
aspect ratio will still display black bars
at the top and bottom. Narrow (4:3)
images will be stretched evenly from
side to side.
Expand: This will enlarge the picture,
cropping off some of the image at the
sides, and top and bottom. This is
useful to reduce the letterbox top and
bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVDs or
to correct narrow (4:3) images that have
been stretched in the Standard format.

Display Formats
60
Stretched and Zoom formats are not
available during PIP/POP functions.
Caution should be observed when using
the Narrow format due to the stationary
gray side bars. Please see pages 23 or
62 for guidelines concerning stationary
images.
Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, crop-
ping off some of the image at each side.
This is useful to remove or reduce the
black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
Stretched
(Not available when viewing 480p sig-
nals) 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.
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 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 to 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, sat-
ellite 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
password 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.

Appendix B: High Resolution Input Connection Compatiblity
Component-1 and Component-2 Inputs
These inputs are compatible with component
video signals from standard DVD players
and other equipment sending a standard
NTSC component video signal (480i).
These inputs may also be compatible with
newer DVD players sending a progressive
NTSC component video signal (480p).
DTV Input
This input is compatible with most standard
DTV receivers with component video outputs. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV
480i, 480p, and HDTV 1080i. All other DTV
signals, such as 720p, need to be converted
by the DTV receiver to one of the compatible signal types. Please check the DTV
receiver specications before connecting.
This input is also compatible with some DTV
receivers using RGB with “sync on green”
or RGB with “separate H and V sync”. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV 480i, 480p,
and HDTV 1080i. All other DTV signals,
such as 720p, need to be converted by the
DTV receiver to one of the compatible signal
types. Industry standards for DTV RGB signals systems, synchronization, timing, and
signal strengths are not currently established. These inputs will not be compatible
with all DTV receivers that offer RGB. If
your DTV receiver offers both DTV component video signals and DTV RGB signals,
Mitsubishi suggests you use the DTV component video signals. Please check the
DTV receiver specications before connecting.
