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 seri-
ous 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.
7
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, continued
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 through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the TV.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002,
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.
20. Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

1. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)
ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both
digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF
antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.
Your primary viewing signal source should be connected
to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view

2. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV
service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the
card should face in the direction the CARD TOP arrow
indicates.
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an
access card customized to your account. This card
allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the
premium digital channels included in your cable TV
subscription without the use of a cable box. See page
16 for additional CableCARD information and activation
instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering
CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable
box provided and authorized by your local cable company
to view scrambled channels.
3. Input DTV (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
This input is used to connect an external DTV receiver,
and can be configured for YPbPr or RGB plus H&V signal
types. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
4. Component-1, -2 Inputs
YPbPr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
These inputs can be used for the connection of devices
with component video outputs, such as a DVD player,
external HDTV receiver or compatible video game system.
Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
5. Input-1, -2; Monitor Output
(Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)
Input 1 and 2 can be used for the connection of a VCR,
Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite
receiver or other A/V device to the TV. Please note that
if S-VIDEO and VIDEO are available for the input, you
must choose to connect only one. They cannot both be
connected at the same time.
The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video
signals from the antennas or Inputs to an A/V receiver
or other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR. Digital
channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be down converted
to analog signals compatible with traditional VCRs.
Digital channels or IEEE 1394 signals may be output with
copy protection or may display no video signals if they
have copy restrictions. There will be only audio and no
video signals from Monitor Outputs when viewing the
Component 1 & 2 inputs, INPUT-DTV, the HDMI input or
Cards 1-4.
14
Back Panel, continued
Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to
a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should
be connected to your A/V receiver for home theater
surround sound.
6. PC Input and Audio
(VGA/WVGA/SVGA/WSVGA/XGA/
720p, 60Hz )
This input can be used for the connection of a computer.
Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. If

Stereo audio inputs are also provided for the PC
connection.
7. DTV Link/IEEE1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE
1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Three
jacks (one on the front panel and two on the back) are
provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree
of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand controlled
system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394
connection requirements are in Chapter 4.
8. IR Emitter-NetCommand
®
Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR
Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog
devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite
receivers and audio receivers.
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. If using a cable box, the HDMI input
supports both video and audio using a single cable.
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
video formats. It is not intended for use with personal
computers or devices outputting video signals with
computer resolutions.
This input can also be used as a DVI connection with
separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-
DVI adaptor or cable will be necessary to make this
connection and may be available from your local
electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to-
DVI 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-232 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. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog
sound to your A/V receiver.
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.

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.
Please call XYZ Cable
at xxx-xxx-xxxx to
activate cable service.
They will need these numbers:

See owner's manual for
further information
To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming
cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.
IMPORTANT
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 request 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.
The digital television is cable 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 data-
enhanced television services may require the use of a
set-top box. For more information call your local cable
operator.
Please see page 17 for instructions on how to insert
the CableCARD.

Figure 17. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand
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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
28
29
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 (two-
position) 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,
select “Record Later”.
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 multi-
room 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.
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.
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.
29
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.
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.
6 pin to 4 pin adaptor
4 pin connector
6 pin connector
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
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.
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.

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.
