Important Safeguards
Please read all these instructions regarding your television set and retain for future reference. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television.
1. Read, Retain and Follow Instructions
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the appliance. 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 this TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Cleaners can permanently damage the cabinet or screen. Use a damp 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 this TV receiver 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 this TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the TV receiver. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory 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
receiver and to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be blocked
by placing the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a
radiator or heat register. If the TV receiver 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 receiver 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 receiver 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 appliance.
5
11. Lightning
For added protection for this TV receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the TV receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
12. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or 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 receiver through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV
receiver.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV
receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, 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.

CAPTIONS Menu
Broadcasters can send either standard or text closed captioning.
Standard closed captioning follows the dialogue of the characters on-screen and displays in a
small section of the screen.
Text closed captioning often contains information such as weather or news and covers a large
portion of the on-screen program.
Your TV can decode four different standard and four different text closed captioning signals from
each TV station. However, each station may broadcast only one or two closed captioning signals, or
none at all.
Turn on or off the closed
caption decoder, choose
black or gray as the background color for the closed
caption area and enable the
DTV channel guide (if optional HD-1080 receiver is
connected).
Your DTV receiver or DVD
player may not be equipped to

IRIS
is the Intelligent Room Illumination (light) Sensor. When IRIS is on, your TV will automatically adjust the picture contrast and brightness for the best picture based on your room lighting.
When turned on, Contrast and Brightness cannot be adjusted manually.
Contrast provides a slider that controls the level of white-to-black in the picture. Low contrast
will show a variety of shades in the darker images on the screen. High contrast will show the
screen’s dark images more uniformly black and make the colors on the screen seem more vibrant.
Brightness provides a slider that controls the overall brightness of the picture.
Auto Picture for Ant-A and Ant-B, senses the tuner signal strength. It adjusts picture color and
sharpness for the best picture. When turned on, sharpness and color cannot be adjusted manually.
Sharpness provides a slider that adjusts the detail and clarity of the picture.
Color provides a slider that determines the intensity of the color.
Tint provides a slider that adjusts the proportion of red to green in the picture.
Color Temp (Color temperature) allows you to set how the TV will display white images. Your
choices are “Low 6500K or Low (for HD)”, “High” or “Medium.”
• With the Low 6500K or Low (for HD) setting, white images on-
screen 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
6500˚K industry standard for NTSC (non-HD) pictures.
• With the High setting, white images on-screen will have a cool
cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture
under bright lighting.
• With the Medium setting, white images on-screen will be
balanced between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.
Video Noise reduces minor video noise (graininess) in the broadcast or input signal.

Descriptions of audio settings
Bass enhances or reduces low frequency sound.

Balance adjusts the level of sound between the left and right speakers.
Surround creates simulated stereo and surround effects. You can set this setting to “Off”,
“Simulated Stereo” or “Surround Sound”. Select:
• Off when you do not want to use any surround effects. Set the
surround setting to “Off” when using an A/V receiver with
Dolby
®
Pro Logic Surround, or Dolby Digital Surround.
• Simulated Stereo when you are watching a non-stereo pro-
gram. Your TV will create a simulated stereo effect by using the
TV’s speakers.
• Surround Sound when you are watching a stereo program.
Your TV’s internal speakers will create a simulated surround
effect, making the sound seem to extend around and behind you.
Listen to for Ant-A or Ant-B determines how your TV will receive a broadcast audio signal and
play back the sound that you hear. You can set this function to “Stereo”, “SAP” or “Mono.”
• Stereo is the default setting. With this setting, the TV will play
stereo broadcasts in stereo and mono broadcasts in mono. The
word “Stereo” will be displayed when you tune to a channel
broadcasting stereo programming.
• SAP is an additional monaural soundtrack that you can’t hear
during normal TV viewing. The SAP signal might be related to the
program you are watching, such as a soundtrack in a foreign
language, or it might be unrelated such as a weather report. If
the SAP signal is broadcast, the letters “SAP” will appear onscreen when you tune to that channel. Choose “Listen to: SAP”
to hear the SAP signal.
• Mono will reduce background noise and should be used if you
are receiving a weak stereo audio signal. The sound will be only
in mono even if the program you are watching has stereo audio.

Formats
Widescreen models WT-46805, WS-55805, WS-55905, WS-65905 and WS-73905
Pressing the FORMAT button will cycle through the three different picture shapes or formats that
can be used with traditional TV broadcasts, videotapes, laser discs, some DVDs and some DTV
broadcasts. The three formats are:
• Standard - The picture is the traditional TV shape in the center of the screen with gray
sidebars. If this is a letterbox picture, there will be black bars at the top and bottom.
• Expand - The picture is stretched left-to-right to fill the screen with no loss of picture resolu-
tion. Letterbox pictures will still have black bars at the top and bottom.
• Zoom - After expanding the picture left-to-right, Zoom will stretch the picture top-to-bottom,
and there may be some loss of picture at the top and bottom. This format will reduce or
remove the black bars from letterbox pictures.
All HD signals (1080i) and DTV 480p or DVD 480p signals will automatically fill the screen from
top-to-bottom and left-to-right and the FORMAT button will be disabled.
The FORMAT button can be used during POP functions if closed captions are turned off.
Anamorphic Pictures
Some DVD discs might have anamorphic pictures. Anamorphic pictures are specially designed for
display on widescreen TVs (the DVD player should be set to “TV Shape 16:9”). We recommend
using the Expand format with these programs to enjoy the benefits of full screen display, proper
image shape and high resolution. Some anamorphic pictures are in special movie theater
widescreen shapes and might be marked “aspect ratio 2.35:1”. These images will still show small
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when displayed in the Expand format.
Standard shape models VS-50805 and VS-60805
These models have two different shapes or formats for use with traditional TV broadcasts, videotapes, laser discs, standard DVD players (not DVD 480p). The formats are:
• Standard - The picture fills the screen. Letterbox pictures will have black bars at the top and
bottom.
• Wide - The picture is compressed from top-to-bottom and black bars are added at the top and
bottom. This format is recommended only for anamorphic DVDs. This will allow full picture
resolution and correct the picture shape. It is important that the DVD player be set to “TV
Shape 16:9”, otherwise the picture will appear stretched.
When the closed caption decoder is turned off, the Wide format is available.
All HD signals (1080i) will automatically be displayed in the Wide format and the FORMAT button
will be disabled.
DTV 480p or DVD 480p signals will always fill the screen from top to bottom and the FORMAT
button will be disabled. Make sure your HDTV receiver and DVD player (if using the 480p component outputs of the DVD player) are set to “TV shape 4:3”.

Remote Control of the Active AV Network
The AV Network is a special feature that makes it easier to use your television and Mitsubishi VCR
together. When the AV Network is connected, you can point the remote control at the television,
and it will pass the remote control command to your Mitsubishi VCR. You will gain even more
benefits if you have a Mitsubishi VCR equipped for the Active AV Network and a Mitsubishi DVD
player.
Before you begin, be sure you have:
• Made the correct AV Network connections. Refer to “Connection of TV to the Active AV Network”
in the Connections section.
• Connected your VCR to INPUT-1 of your TV and/or connected your DVD to DVD INPUT.
• Set your VCR’s remote control settings to VCR or VCR A (if your VCR has an A and B setting).
• Turned your VCR video mute setting on.
• Turned the Active AV Network feature in both the VCR and the TV’s menu to ACTIVE.
Using the PLAY key on the TV remote, after selecting VCR with the slide switch:
• Active AV Network will turn your VCR on and begin playing a tape (if tape is inside).
• Active AV Network will turn your TV on and switch it to INPUT-1.
• When you turn your TV off, your VCR will turn off, unless it is playing or recording.
Displaying the VCR menu, after selecting VCR with the slide switch:
When you set the remote to VCR and then press MENU:
• Active AV Network will turn on your VCR if it is off and display the VCR’s menu
(this function may not work with some older Mitsubishi VCR's).
• Active AV Network will turn on your TV if it is off and switch it to INPUT-1.
Using the PLAY key on the remote, after selecting DVD with the slide switch:
• Your remote must be programmed to operate Mitsubishi DVD players.
• Active AV Network will turn on your TV and switch it to DVD INPUT-3.
• If your DVD player is in range of the remote and has a disc inside, the DVD will turn on and the
disc will begin playing.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
1. When using the Active A/V Network, always point your
remote control at your television.
2. If you are using the Active A/V Network with the
Home Theater IR system control on page 66,
make sure both the TV and AV receiver are powered on
before pressing the Play button on the VCR or DVD.

Mitsubishi Home Theater IR System Control using Infrared Emitter
The Mitsubishi Home Theater IR System Control is a special feature that makes it easier to use
your television with a Mitsubishi digital AV receiver. Once your equipment is properly connected
and set up, your TV and Mitsubishi digital AV 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 AV 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 HDTV receiver and DVD and high quality analog stereo or surround sound from non-digital products like your VCR.
Special setups: A/V equipment:
VCR connections from pages 10 or 11, Audio Video Connections. Do not connect these cable
to the TV, instead connect these to the digital AV receiver to the inputs labeled:
VCR 1 on digital AV receivers model M-VR800 or M-VR1000
VCR on digital AV receivers model M-VR700 or M-VR900
DVD with component video cables from page 14. Connect the video cables as shown, except,
do not connect the audio cables to the TV. Instead, connect the digital output connection on
the DVD player to the digital input on the back of the digital AV receiver, for example to
DIGITAL INPUT 1. If your DVD player does not have component video cables, then use a Svideo cable, do not use a regular yellow video cable.
HDTV receiver from pages 15-17. Connect the video cables as shown, except, do not connect
the audio cables to the TV. Instead, connect the digital output connection on the HDTV receiver to the digital input on the back of the digital AV receiver, for example to DIGITAL
INPUT-2.
AV Receiver from page 13. Connect as shown (use a S-video cable in step 1 if your VCR is a
S-video VCR). Make sure to connect the TV outputs to the AV receivers input marked TV.
AUTO STANDBY:
ON
(see the owner’ guide of the AV receiver for this procedure).
DIGITAL INPUT ASSIGNMENT FOR DVD:
Assign the digital input you used for your DVD player to the AV receiver’s
DVD input selector. For example, if you connected your DVD player’s digital
output to the DIGITAL INPUT 1, you need to then assign DIGITAL INPUT 1
to the AV receiver’s DVD input, so that it will automatically be used. This
procedure is explained in the owner’s guide for the AV receiver.
DIGITAL ASSIGNMENT FOR HDTV:
For Mitsubishi AV receiver model M-VR800 or M-VR1000, assign the HDTV
ditial input to VCR 2. VCR 2 will now be used to hear the HDTV sound.
If you have a Mitsubishi AV receiver model M-VR700 or M-VR900, assign the
HDTV digital input to CABLE/DBS, which will be used to hear HDTV sound.

Important Notes
Warning:
Don’t leave stationary or letterboxed images on-screen for extended periods of time.
Mix the types of pictures shown.
The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of television picture types. The most used
pictures types should fill 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 in your
picture. Note that moving images with stationary black bars can also 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 fill the screen whenever possible.
This projection television uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen.
age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal television pictures fill the
screen with constantly changing images. In these conditions, the 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 fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill
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.
Uneven picture tube aging is not covered by the warranty.
Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels or satellite channels,
DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services or web/internet searching devices, video games
and digital television tuner/converter boxes. Examples of these types of image can be, but are not
limited to the following:
• Letterbox top/bottom black bars
(These are the black bars shown at the top and bottom of the
screen when you watch a widescreen movie on a standard TV)
• Side bar images
(These are the solid bars shown on each side of the image when
you watch a normal TV program on a widescreen TV)
• Stock-market report bars
(These are the row of stock prices normally shown at the
bottom of the screen during a financial report)
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays
(Especially bright displays that are shown constantly or repeatedly
in the same place on the screen)
• Video game patterns or scoreboards
• Bright station logos
(Subtle, low-contrast logos are less likely to cause uneven aging,
especially if they are translucent and are not always projected in
the same spot)
• On-line (internet) web sites
or other computer style images that are not changed or are left
on display for long periods of time
All picture tubes
74
Warning:
If you place speakers next to the TV, make sure they are magnetically shielded. Ordinary speakers
will cause distortion in the picture due to their strong magnets. This distortion, however, will not
permanently harm the picture tubes.
If you place non-shielded speakers next to the TV, they may affect the convergence. If this happens,
move the speakers further away from the television.
For maximum enjoyment and safe operation of your Mitsubishi TV, please read IMPORTANT SAFE-
GUARDS, pages 5 and 6 of your Owners Guide, very carefully and apply them properly.
Important Notes, continued

Appendix 4 - INPUT-3 Video Connection Compatiblity
INPUT-3 Component Video connection compatibility
This input is compatible with component video signals from standard DVD players and other
equipment that send standard NTSC component video, also known as 480i. This input may also be
compatible with some newer DVD players, that are described as 480p or progressive scan. Since
the industry standard concerning copy protection for 480p DVD signals was not finalized when this
TV design was completed, you may experience a small amount of picture disturbance near the top
edge when playing discs using the 480p outputs of some DVD players.
Input levels and timing with component video
Y = 1.0V p-p (includes sync) 75 ohms
Cr = 700m Vp-p,75 ohms
Cb= 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms (can also receive signals from outputs labeled B-Y and Pb).
HIGH DEFINITION INTERFACE HDTV Video connection compatibility
This input is fully compatible with the Mitsubishi HD-1080 HDTV receiver. You will need BNC-toRCA adaptors for the RGB with H and V cable connections to the TV. Adaptors are available at
most electronic and computer supply stores.
(can also recieve signals from outputs labeled R-Y and Pr).
For other HDTV receivers, this input is compatible with most standard HDTV receivers that have
component video outputs. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV 480i or 480p and HDTV 1080i. All
other digital TV signals, such as 720p, need to be converted by the HDTV receiver to any of the
above signals. Please check the HDTV receiver specifications before connecting.
This input is also compatible with HDTV receivers using RGB with “sync on green” or RGB with
“separate H and V sync”. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV 480i, 480p or HDTV 1080i. All other
digital TV signals, such as 720p, need to be converted by the HDTV receiver to one of the compatible signals. Industry standards for DTV RGB signals systems, synchronization and signal strengths
are not currently established. These inputs will not be compatible with all HDTV receivers that
offer RGB. If your HDTV receiver offers both HDTV component video signals and HDTV RGB
signals, Mitsubishi suggests you use the HDTV component video signals. Please check the HDTV
receiver specifications before connecting.
Input levels and timing when used with HD component video signals
EIA - 770.3 standard levels and timing
Y = 1.0Vp-p (includes sync), 75 ohms
Pr = 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms
Pb = 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms
H = not used
V = not used
Input levels and timing when used with RGB
G (Y) = 1.0Vp-p 75 ohms (compatible with sync on green)
R (Pr) = 700mVp-p, 75 ohms
B (Pb) = 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms
H = 3Vp-p
V = 3 Vp-p
+ 1.0v, 75 ohms (when using separate H and V sync)
+ 1.0v, 75 ohms (when using separate H and V sync)
