OR
IR Emitter-Repeater
These emitters are not used by NetCommand, but will
repeat any IR command received by the TV. These
emitters allow the TV to be the remote control sensor for
other devices that are outside of the range of the handheld remote control. Do not use these repeaters with
devices that can receive the remote control signal directly,
as the signals can interfere with each other.
b: Connect the IR emitter to IR EMITTER-
REPEATER on the TV back panel.
Figure 2. Connecting the IR Home Theater Control
and/or Repeater.
THEN
Place the IR emitter cable under or along
the side of the A/V device. Place the IR
lens directly in front of the A/V device’s
infrared signal receiver. Infrared signal
receivers are usually behind the front trans-
lucent panel of the device.
Place unused transmitters in an out-of-the-
way location.
For permanent installation of the IR emitter
cable, use the included adhesive tape to
secure the bottom of the emitter to the
anchoring object of your choice.
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 when using a device through
the VGA port. You should also use
lower brightness and contrast settings.
If your computer programs allow, toolbars 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 game 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 70 for an explanation of uneven
picture tube aging.

Convergence
(Figure 1)
Your Mitsubishi TV has three picture tubes
which need to be aligned to properly converge the projected light beams on the
screen. Each picture tube projects a single
color of red, blue or green. During production, your TV was carefully adjusted to properly align these colors. However, moving
the TV, or the TV’s location in relation to
the Earth’s magnetic poles, or the passage
of time can cause these adjustments to
change. As a special feature, you have
the ability to adjust the red and blue light
beams in reference to the xed green l ight
beam. This process is called convergence
adjustment. Since the memory for the convergence is separate for 480i/480p and for
HD 1080i signals, you may need to adjust
the convergence while watching each of
these types of signals.

Programs Not Rated: Used for programs that are not rated like news, sports, weather, emergency bulletins, or
movies such as those prior to or without MPAA Ratings. This does not include programs without V-Chip signals.
IMPORTANT: If you select to block programs that carry the V-Chip rating “Programs Not Rated, you may block news
or emergency bulletins. Care should be used when blocking not rated programming.
When you select a TV or Movie rating, you are selecting the highest level of program that will be allowed to be
viewed. As an example, if you select TV-PG, you are allowing programs rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G and TV-PG to
be seen and blocking programs rated TV-14 and TV-MA. If you select a movie rating of PG-13, you are allowing
movies rated G, PG and PG-13 to be seen and blocking movies rated R, NC-17, and X. When you select a TV
Content category, you will block all TV programs that have the same content category listing. As an example, if
you select to block V (Violence) at the TV-14 level, you will also block any program that has the V category listing
at the TV-PG rating level.
V-Chip Lock
IMPORTANT: V-Chip is effective only for programs viewed on Ant-A and Ant-B or from devices connected to Inputs
1-5. It is not effective for programs viewed on Ant-DTV or devices connected to Component 1 and 2, INP-DTV
or from IEEE 1394 devices.
IMPORTANT: Videotapes, laser discs, and DVD’s may not contain V-Chip rating signals, in this case V-Chip cannot
block the program or movie.
IMPORTANT: 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.

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:
• 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.
Video Noise use reduction to reduce
minor noise (graininess) in the broadcast received on Ant-A and Ant-B. Use
standard with good quality signals.
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 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, when viewing a
movie from a 480i device such as a
VCR, standard DVD or antenna.
A/V Setting Descriptions: Video
• High: White images will have a cool cast

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.
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, Mitsubishi
offers several display formats to choose
from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to
cycle through the available display formats.
Not all formats are available for all signals. See Table on Page 64 for combinations available.
Display Formats
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.
Stretched: 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.
Not all formats are available for PIP/
POP. See the chart below.
Caution should be observed when
using the Narrow format due to the stationary gray side bars. Please see page

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 wh enever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to proj-
IMPORTANT NOTES
ect 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 const ant ly
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 ( leavi ng bl ack
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 scoreboards
Bright 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
Lock Bypass Instructions Have Been
Filed for Future Reference
Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
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
passcode 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. Pressing HOME at this time
will cancel the entire passcode.
Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
Bypassing Front Button Lock
If you have misplaced the remote control,
you can bypass the front button lock by
pressing and holding the MENU button
on the front panel for more than 8 seconds.
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: 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).
VGA Input
This input will accomodate most computers
capable of supporting a VGA monitor.
The only compatible display resolution is
640x480. The sync rate is 60 Hz. SVGA
and XVGA resolutions are not supported.
Input Levels and Timing with Component Video
Y =1.0Vp-p (includes sync) 75-Ohms
Pr =700mVp-p, 75-Ohms (can also
receive signals from outputs labeled
R-Y and Cr)
Pb =700mVp-p, 75-Ohms (can also receive
signals from outputs labeled B-Y and Cb)
INP-DTV
This input is compatible with most standard
DTV and satellite receivers with component
video (YPbPr) 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 connecting.
This input is compatible with some DTV
receivers using RGB with sync on green
or 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.
