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 under-
stand 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, Conponent-1 or Component-2 480p is
being displayed as the main picture, press
INFO on the TV remote control. The on-
screen display, gure 1, wi ll list 480i , 480p or
1080i when those signals are being received.
See Operation of PIP and POP, pages
54-55, for operating instructions. An aster-
isk (*) displayed after the signal type indi-
cates that the signal being received is
a non-standard format. A non-standard
format signal may or may not display prop-
erly in a PIP/POP inset.
Table 1. *No Side-by-Side with the same channel.
**No Side-by-Side with the same input.

How Connections Affect the System 4 Home Theater IR Control
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
How Connections Affect the PIP and POP
is properly connected and set up, your TV
and 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 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 DTV receiver
and 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 II: Installation
Warning: Do not leave stationary, toolbar, or partial 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 VGA capability of this television is
designed for occasional use ONLY.
It is not meant to be used as a work station
or to view static or odd-shaped images for
an extended period of time. Any device
connected to your television via the VGA
port, including, but not limited to, personal
computer, game system, or digital set-top
box, must have its screen saver function
activated to prevent damage to the television. We DO NOT recommend the use of
any external device that does not have a
screen saver function with this television.
We recommend that screen saver activation time be set to less than ve
minutes and that when using a device
through the VGA port, you use lower
brightness and contrast settings. If
your computer programs allow, tool-
bars should be set to hidden mode.
Please remember that most computer programs and video game systems display
static images, such as boxes, buttons, tool
bars, and games scores that can damage
the television if used for extended periods
of time, repeatedly, or frequently. The VGA
Input will automatically select the “Standard” screen format and ll the screen.
No other formats are available with the
VGA Input. Standard television overscan
is used, so VGA images will be cropped
on all sides. Resizing of some displays
may be required. Consult your owner’s
manual for computers, computer programs
and game systems for assistance with
resizing display images. Please see page
58 for an explaination of uneven picture
aging.

four different standard and four different text
closed captioning signals from each TV station. However, each TV station may broad-
cast only one or two closed captioning
signals, or none at all.

Video Settings
Part III: Setup
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.
Color Temp (Color Temperature) allows
you to adjust how white images are dis-
played. Your choices are:
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 c ame r a and i s creat ed
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 me di a ar e
motion pictures, made-for-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 stan-
dards. 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, when viewing a 480i
image.
A/V Setting Descriptions: Video
• 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: System 4 Home Theater IR Control
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 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 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 DTV receiver
and 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.

Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as
a 16:9 TV). This shape re ect s t he 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, Mitsubi-
shi offers several display formats to choose
from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control
to cycle through the ve avai labl e di spl ay
formats.
When displaying VGA or HDTV (1080i)
signals, the FORMAT control will not
operate. All HD signals will automaticaly
be shown using the Standard format ,
and will ll the screen.
Standard: 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
top and bottom. This is useful to reduce
the letterbox top and bottom bars of nonanamorphic DVDs or to correct narrow
(4:3) images that have been stretched in
the Standard format.
Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, crop-
ping 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.
Display Formats
56
56
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
58 for guidelines concerning stationary
images.
Stretched: (Not available when viewing
480p signals) 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.
Narrow: This format will display narrow
(4:3) images in their original shape, and
add stationary gray side bars to ll the
screen.
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 #2
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 possi bl e.
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 wi th
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 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).
Input Levels and Timing with Component Video

Pr =700mVp-p, 75ohms (can also receive
signals from outputs labeled R-Y and Cr)
Pb =700mVp-p, 75ohms (can also receive
signals from outputs labeled B-Y and Cb)
VGA Input
This input will accommodate most computers capable of supporting a VGA monitor.
The only compatible display resolution is
640x480. The sync rate is 60hz. SVGA and
XVGA resolutions are not supported.
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 speci cat ions bef or e connect ing.
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 speci cat ions bef or e connect ing.
