Cleaning Recommendations
TV Software
Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster
will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is needed,
please use the following guidelines:
Unauthorized Software
Do not attempt to update the software of this TV with
software or cards that are not provided by or authorized
by Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. Non-autho-
rized software may damage the TV and will not be covered
by the warranty.
First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
Top and Sides of the TV
•
Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth such as cotton flannel or a clean cloth diaper,
lightly moistened with water. Dry with a second dry,
soft, non-abrasive cloth.
•
For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid detergent,
such as dishwashing detergent, to the water used to
moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moist-
ened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-
abrasive cloth.
Screen
•
Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping
gently in an up and down motion, following the
grooves in the screen.
•
•
Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the
screen.
Do not allow liquid to drip down the grooves of the
screen, as some liquid may enter the TV through the
gap between the screen and screen frame.
•
You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part
number CLEANER-VSS, by calling (800) 553-7278.
General Cleaning Precautions
•
•
•
DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the venti-
lation slots or any crevice.
DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners, as these
can scratch the surfaces.
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia,
bleach, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can
dull the surfaces.
•
•
DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s
surfaces.
DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe it gently.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use any kind of abrasive cleaner
on the surface of the TV screen.

Important Information About Your TV
Important Safeguards
Please read the following safeguards for your TV and retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings and instruc-
tions 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 serious 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 instruc-
tions 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 revers-
ing 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.

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.

High-Definition Video Inputs
Special Features of Your TV
Your new high-definition widescreen television has many
special features that make it the perfect center of your
home entertainment system, including:
Three Component Video Inputs. Also called Y/Pb/
Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video
formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-definition
signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when
connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and
satellite receivers.
High Definition DLP™ Display System
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments
most advanced Digital Light Processing™ technology
for rear-projection televisions. This TV is truly a high-
performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both
stunning high-definition video images and clear, detailed,
high-resolution images from a personal computer.
Two HDMI Inputs that accept digital 480i, 480p,
720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital
stereo signals. Used with an adapter, these inputs
also accept compatible DVI video signals. HDMI
inputs provide additional high-performance, high-
definition connections for maximum flexibility in your
choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are
HDCP copy-protection compatible.
16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your
home. View pictures as film directors intended them.
Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game con-
soles support this widescreen format.
Three IEEE 1394 Digital Interfaces that receive and
send compressed digital signals, including high-
definition signals, along with digital audio and control
signals between devices such as the TV, digital cable
boxes, and D-VHS digital video recorders.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV
tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts
(received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable
broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable pro-
gramming.
ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input
Sensing
ClearThought® automatically recognizes when you plug in
an input and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV
ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered
Input Selection menu where you can easily find and select
connected devices by name.

digital cable ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s
one-way digital signals with the use of a CableCARD
security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a
traditional cable box to access digital cable programming
(including high definition). Contact your local cable pro-
vider for availability information and service details.

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. When you move to a new
cable provider’s area, return the CableCARD to the original
cable provider and get a new card from your new provider.

The CableCARD system is unidirectional, meaning your
cable provider can send updates to the TV, but the TV
cannot send signals back. As a result, certain advanced
and interactive digital cable services, such as requests for
video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a cable
operator’s enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced
television services may require use of a set-top box
instead. For more information, call your local cable opera-
tor.

Digital Video and Home Recording
The table below will help you decide which type of connection to use for digital video. Digital video comes to your
home in a compressed state, whether received on recorded media (e.g., disc) or broadcast over the air, over cable, or
via satellite. Some compressed digital video is available for recording as noted in the table.
Connection Type into the TV
Effect on Home Recording
HDMI or DVI
You cannot record the resultant uncompressed video sent to the TV
via HDMI or DVI.
Compressed video is converted to
uncompressed form by an external device
such as a cable box, satellite receiver, or
DVD player before it is sent to the TV on an
HDMI or DVI cable.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire®) Connections
Your TV can receive and decode digital
channels, MPEG2 compressed digital video,
and Dolby Digital audio.
You can record compressed digital video either
•
on compatible digital recorders as digital signals using IEEE 1394
connections
•
converted to analog signals and recorded as standard-definition
composite video from the MONITOR OUT jack
You may be unable to record some programming because of copy restric-
tions added by the content owners.

IEEE 1394 Devices
Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
Compatible A/V devices include some, but not all, cable
boxes, D-VHS VCRs, A/V discs, and future products.
Some devices may have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not
compatible with the TV. Areas of compatibility to consider
are:
4-pin connector 6-pin connector 6-pin-to-4-pin adapter
If you wish to connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a
camcorder), and the device is designed to receive electri-
cal power from another 6-pin device, there are several
ways to provide electrical power to the device:
1. Digital Video Signals
The TV can decode MPEG2 and DV, and HDV video as
provided by cable boxes and some camcorders. If the
TV is unable to decode the digital signal supplied by the
camcorder, connect the camcorder to the TV using analog
audio plus composite video, S-video, or component video,
or use HDMI audio/video. Other types of digital video,
such as PC video provided by some computers, must
be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as
analog video, S-video, or DVI/HDMI video.
•
•
•
Connect the camcorder directly to the household AC.
Use the camcorder’s battery for power.
Connect the camcorder directly to another 6-pin
device in the network that can provide power.
Connection Methods
2. Digital Audio Signals
There are two connection methods for IEEE 1394 devices. Use
the method that fits your network of audio/video products.
When received with video signals, the TV can decode
Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other
types of digital audio as provided by some digital record-
ing devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be
decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394 con-
nections.
Direct Device-To-Device Method
The IEEE 1394 interface allows you to chain devices,
unlike audio and video connections that require you to
connect each individual device directly to the TV. For
example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 A/V
disc and then connect the 1394 A/V disc to the TV. The
resulting IEEE 1394 chain allows you to add more devices
to the chain. You will see an icon for each device in the
TV’s Input Selection menu and can also send information
from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.
The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio
signals on the coaxial digital audio output. These signals
may pass to other devices, however, on IEEE 1394 cables.
3. Digital Control Signal
The TV can serve 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.
%JHJUBM
7$3ꢁ
•
EIA-775. Designed for tuning devices such as cable
boxes, allowing the device to send simple graph-
ics. This standard does not, however, allow the TV to
control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
"ꢀ7ꢁ%JTDꢁ
57
•
AV/C (Audio Video Control). Designed to provide
basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection,
and volume, as appropriate for the device.
Hub Connection Method
The IEEE 1394 standard allows you to use 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.
Four-Pin and 6-Pin Connections
There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE
1394 terminals and cables: a 4-pin and a 6-pin type. Both
types send the same digital audio, video, and control
signals, but the 6-pin connectors can also supply low-
voltage electrical power to connected devices. This TV
uses only 4-pin type connectors.

7$3ꢄꢅꢀ
"ꢇ7ꢄ
%JTDꢄꢅꢀ
%JHJUBMꢄ
7$3ꢄꢅꢆ
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, use a 6-pin-to-4-pin adapter or adapter cable.
These cables are available from electronics and computer
stores.

•
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.
%JHJUBMꢀ

•
•
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.
You can connect an IEEE 1394 camcorder with an IEEE
1394 cable or with analog audio/video cables. In either
case, test using the TV’s remote control to operate the
camcorder via the IEEE 1394 cable.
Place devices with the slowest communication speed
at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communica-
tion speed is marked near the IEEE 1394 connector
with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster
the communication speed. This TV has a communica-
tion speed of s400. Devices with slow communica-
tion speeds can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from
faster devices. When setting up a digital recording
between a faster device and a slower device, make the
slower device the source and make the faster device
the recorder.
1. Connect your IEEE 1394 camcorder to one of the TV’s
IEEE 1394 jacks.
•
•
Use IEEE 1394 cables 15 feet or less in length
between devices.
This TV is an IEEE 1394a device. It can be used with
an IEEE 1394b system when an IEEE-1394a-to-1394b
convertor is used. IEEE 1394b systems are capable of
greater distances and multi-room applications.
•
The TV can recognize a maximum of seven IEEE 1394
devices at any one time.
2. When the New 1394 Device screen displays (see
above), confirm that the correct format, either MPEG
or DV, is marked. In most cases, the TV automatically
detects the camcorder format in use.
IEEE 1394 Camcorders
•
Control Functions. Connect the camcorder to an
IEEE 1394 jack on the front or rear of the TV and test
using the TV’s remote control to operate the cam-
corder. If your model does not operate properly, use
the camcorder’s control buttons instead.

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to
the IR EMITTER jack to control other devices such
as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receiv-
ers. This control system is shared with the TV Guide On
Screen system.

3. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing
the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared
light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far
enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to
reach the sensor.

The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window
of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible
with the aid of 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 following these
steps using the device’s remote control:
*3ꢀTFOTPSꢀ

a. Hold the remote about one-half inch from the
front of the device. Starting from one end of the
display window plastic, press the POWER button.
b. If the device does not respond, move the remote
control one inch toward the center and try again.

The remote control sensor is somewhere between
these two positions. This is usually enough accu-
racy for placement of the IR emitters.
Figure 15. IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the
IR sensor on each device.
With some devices, the emitter works better
facing downward from the top of the device.
Experiment if needed.
4. Secure the emitter ends in place using double-sided
tape.
IMPORTANT
Position IR emitters so that each device’s
sensor “sees” the signal from only one
emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals
from multiple sources (remote controls, IR
emitters) may not respond at all.

Chapter 2. TV Connections
Helpful Hints for NetCommand Connections
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. You need to connect the device to the TV and then make changes to the A/V receiver setup.
1. Connect the VCR’s audio and video to the TV; connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only.
2. Perform the procedure for setting up a device connection. See chapter 3, “TV Setup,” and the section entitled
“When You First Connect a Device.” NetCommand IR Learning is optional.
2. Press INPUT to display the Input Selection menu, highlight the VCR’s icon, and press ENTER to select the VCR.
3. Press MENU to open the Main menu, highlight the NetCommand icon, and press ENTER
.
4. Under AV RECEIVER SETUP, confirm that the text box displays None.
5. Press EXIT
.
After performing these steps, the TV will automatically pass the audio signal to the A/V receiver.
Q. I have both the TV stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designa-
tions on my A/V Receiver. How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio?
A. In most setups, analog audio is also output as digital audio, so no switching is required, and there is no need to
connect the analog output. In some circumstances, however, you may also need analog audio from the TV. For
example, MP3 audio is only output in analog format, so you must connect the TV’s analog AUDIO OUTPUT to the
A/V Receiver if you want to hear MP3 audio through the A/V receiver. Refer to your A/V Receiver user’s guide to
find out how analog/digital audio switching works.
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.
•
•
•
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.
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.
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. Connect the A/V Receiver’s video output to an unused input on the TV and then use the A/V receiver’s remote
control to display the menu.
1. Connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the TV; Input 3 on the front panel is the
most convenient. The Auto Input Sensing screen will displays when the TV detects the new connection,
2. Press EXIT to close the screen without naming the input.
3. Select INPUT 3 (or other input you used) from the Input Selection menu: press INPUT, highlight the Input 3 icon,
and press ENTER
.
4. Press the MENU key on the A/V receiver’s remote control to open the A/V receiver’s menu.
5. When finished, disconnect the A/V receiver’s video input from the TV.
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 Input Selection Menu. Just add this unit once using the COMPONENT
or HDMI input and once using one of the S-VIDEO inputs. Mitsubishi suggests that you connect stereo audio
outputs with the S-video input only.

to the specified A/V receiver audio inputs.
Other Options on the NetCommand Menu
•
For Input Name and Icon Order options, see chapter

Part 2: Tell the TV where connected devices send audio.
Because the TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature never detects
audio connections, the TV does not know that an A/V
receiver is connected until you perform this procedure.
•
Use the PC DVI Input option to specify the type of
video signal coming from your computer. For more
about this option, see chapter 7, “Using the TV with a
Personal Computer.”
The sample setup shown in figure 14 illustrates three
typical scenarios for sending audio to an A/V receiver:
•
Analog Stereo Audio. Audio from sources with only
analog stereo output (such as a VCR) can be sent
either directly to the A/V receiver or to the TV first and
then on to the A/V receiver.
Set Up NetCommand Control of an A/V
Receiver
Perform this setup to:
Mitsubishi recommends you send audio to the TV first
as shown in the example. The TV can convert the
signal to digital audio and then send it to a digital A/V
receiver.
•
Operate the A/V receiver’s power and volume
functions with the TV’s remote control.
•
Enable the A/V receiver to switch automatically to
the correct audio input when you select a device
in the TV’s Input Selection menu.
•
•
Audio Available from TV only. Audio from ANT 1
and ANT 2, memory cards, and IEEE 1394 devices
can only be sent to the A/V receiver from the TV’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or analog AUDIO OUT
LEFT/RIGHT. In this setup, you tell NetCommand to
switch to the A/V receiver’s designated TV audio input
when using these devices.
You must have at hand the remote controls for both the TV
and A/V receiver to perform this procedure.
Learn A/V Receiver Power and Volume Keys
1. Connect your A/V receiver to the TV. See chapter 2,
“TV Connections,” for suggestions.
Digital Surround Sound. A device (e.g., DVD player,
cable box, satellite receiver) can send digital surround
sound such as Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V
receiver, bypassing the TV entirely. A DVD player is
used in this example.
2. Open the NetCommand menu and under AV
RECEIVER SETUP, highlight Learn and press ENTER
.
3. In the NetCommand AV Receiver (AVR) Learn screen,
press to highlight the check box for Power On.
It is also possible for your setup to include two (or
more) devices with digital surround sound connected

Chapter 4. TV Operation and Features
TV Display Format Definitions
TV Signals and Display Formats
Standard: This is the full-screen format. HDTV signals
use this format. This format is useful for displaying
Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect
ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio
are displayed with black bars at the top and bottom, but
show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images
are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all
signals.
This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This
shape reflects 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 is no perfect solution for dis-
playing a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen,
Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which you
can choose.
Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, crop-
ping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This
is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars
of non-anamorphic DVD images. Available for 480i, 480p,
and digital SD 4:3 signals only.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the
available display formats. The last-used format for each
device is used when you return to that device.
Note:
•
•
•
Only standard format is available for Split Screen.
PC formats vary depending on the PC signal.
For 1080p signals from an HDMI input, see “Com-
puter Display Formats” in chapter 7, “Using the TV
with a Personal Computer.”
Zoom: This enlarges the picture, cropping off some of
the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful
for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars
on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available
for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image
across the screen; there is less stretch in the center than
at the sides, however. This allows the entire narrow image
to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than
is seen in the Standard format. Available for 480i, 480p,
and SD 4:3 signals only.
DVD Definitions
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly
show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using the
Standard format mode. This is the recommended viewing
choice.
Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize
distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off
portions of the top and bottom. Except when displaying
Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full
Screen)
These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally
shaped, squarish TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or
1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter
box, which adds black top and bottom bars.
menus or Split Screen, press
to adjust the position of
the picture vertically. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3
signals only.
Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) images in their
original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill
the screen. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals
only.
This information may be listed on the DVD case. Some
DVDs support both types of recordings.
Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of
the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful
to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow
images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital
broadcast. Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and
digital HD signals.
Signal Definitions
480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from
or through ANT-1 and
and HDMI jacks.
2
,
INPUT 1

3
,
COMPONENT
480p Signals: Progressive-scan DVD signals on COM-
PONENT and HDMI jacks.
720p and 1080i Signals: High-definition signals received
through COMPONENT and HDMI jacks. These
signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
SD 4:3: Standard-definition narrow-screen format signals
from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.
Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9)
signals, but not all programming sent on these
channels was created for this format. As a result,
the broadcaster must convert such programming
for broadcast, and may stretch the image or add
side bars to fill the widescreen area.
SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen format signals
from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.
HD: High-definition wide-screen format signals from digital
channels and IEEE-1394 devices. These signals are always
16:9 (widescreen).

V-Chip Signal Information
V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS
When provided by the broadcaster or program source,

that can be viewed on the TV. When V-Chip ratings are
supplied, they are displayed when you change the channel
or press INFO on the remote control.

V-Chip blocking is ineffective for programs viewed
on devices connected to component or HDMI
inputs. Many of these devices, however, have their
own parental-control systems.
Videotapes, laser discs, and DVDs may not
contain V-Chip rating signals. V-Chip cannot
block playback of recordings without V-Chip rating
signals.
TV Ratings
TV ratings apply to TV programs and made-for-TV movies.
You can apply supplemental blocking to TV ratings based on
the TV content categories described below. TV ratings are:
Broadcasters are not currently required to include
V-Chip rating signals. V-Chip cannot block pro-
gramming broadcast without the V-Chip rating
signal.
TV-Y
Youth. For children under the age of 7.
TV-Y7 Youth 7 and older.
TV-G
General Audience. For the entire family to view.
TV-PG Parental Guidance. Parental Guidance is
recommended; may not be suitable for some
children.
Movie Ratings
Movie ratings are the MPAA ratings used for theater-
released and direct-to-video movies. Movie ratings are:
TV-14
Adolescent 14 and older. Not recommended for
children under the age of 14.
G
General Audience. Designed for the entire family
to view.
TV-MA Mature Audience. For adults only.
PG
Parental Guidance. Parental Guidance is
recommended, may not be suitable for some
children.
TV Content Categories
Used in association with the TV ratings above, TV content
categories allow you to apply supplemental blocking.
Apply supplemental blocking using the U.S. Ratings menu.
PG-13 Parental Guidance, 13 and Older. Not
recommended for children under the age of 13.
Restricted. Restricted in theaters to 17 years old
and older unless accompanied by an adult.
FV Fantasy Violence. Applies to TV-Y7 only.
R
D
Sexual Dialog. Applies in different degrees to TV-PG
and TV-14.
NC-17 No Children 17 or Under. Restricted in theaters

Violence (graphic or realistic). Applies in differing
degrees to TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA.
The movie rating you select is for the least-restrictive
program level that can be viewed. For example, if you
select the PG-13 rating, movies rated G, PG and PG-13
can be watched, but movies rated R, NC-17, and X are

The TV rating you select is for the least-restrictive program
level allowed. For example, if you select TV-PG, programs
rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, and TV-PG can be viewed, but pro-
grams rated TV-14 and TV-MA are blocked.
IMPORTANT
When you select a TV content category to block, all TV
programs with the same content category listing are
blocked. For example, if you select to block V (Violence)
at the TV-14 level, any programs with the V category listing
rated TV-PG are also blocked.
If you enable blocking with the Programs
Not Rated option, you may block news or
emergency bulletins carrying the “None” or

Switching Between Analog and Digital IEEE
1394 Outputs
Using IEEE 1394 Devices
To enable switching between analog and digital outputs,
you must have check marked the Analog Connection box
when the New 1394 Device screen displayed when you
first connected the device. See chapter 3, “TV Setup.”
IEEE 1394 Devices and the Input Selection
Menu
When you connect an IEEE 1394 device to the TV network
and power it on, the new device is automatically detected.
Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394 devices,
such as personal computers (PCs), may not be detected
by the TV and do not appear in the Input Selection menu.
Such devices can, however, coexist and are still available
to work with other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that
are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.
Some devices may be a combination of two or more types
of devices, such as 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 Input Selection menu
that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear to allow
you to select the sub-unit you wish to use.
Recording to IEEE 1394 Devices

IEEE 1394 System Compatibility
•
This television is designed to conform to IEEE 1394 AV/C Software standards in effect at the time of development.
This networking and control technology is designed to provide high-performance digital connections and product
control, making the product easier to use.
•
•
Mitsubishi D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV in audio, video, and control.
As other manufacturers distribute products that use the IEEE 1394 AV/C standards, they will be responsible for
developing products that meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other products.
Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these other prod-
ucts. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers’ products should be brought to the attention of those
manufacturers.
HDMI
The HDMI input is compliant with EIA-861B standards for standard, extended, and high-definition video; digital audio,
and HDCP copy protection. The HDMI inputs on this TV are not intended for use with personal computers or devices
outputting video signals with computer resolutions.

Lamp
The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The life of the lamp can vary,
based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air
or poor ventilation shorten the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently. Mitsubishi warrants the
lamp for one (1) year from the date of original TV purchase at retail.
To Order a New Lamp
To Receive a Replacement Lamp Under Warranty
Call (800) 553-7278. Please have model number, serial number, and TV purchase date available.
Important: All lamps replaced under warranty must be returned to Mitsubishi where they will be inspected for defect
verification.

Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.
Do not touch the lamp glass element. It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.
Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electri-
cal shock. If a foreign object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for
service.

Mitsubishi DLP™ Projection Television Limited Warranty
MITSUBISHI DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. (“MDEA”) warrants as follows to the original purchaser of this
television from an authorized MITSUBISHI Audio/Video Dealer, should it prove defective by reason of against defects
arising from improper workmanship and/or material:
a. Parts. The lenticular (i.e. front picture) screen is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period
of thirty (30) days from the date of the original purchase at retail. The lamp and all other parts (except any software
incorporated into this television) are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase at retail.
We will repair or replace, at our option, any defective part without charge for the part. Parts used for replacement may
be replaced with those of like kind and quality and may be new or remanufactured. Parts used for replacement are war-
ranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.
b. Embedded Software. MDEA warrants that all software incorporated into this television set (the “Embedded Soft-
ware”) will perform in accordance with the functional description of Embedded Software in all material respects, but
MDEA does not warrant that the Embedded Software is error-free. MDEA also does not warrant that the Embedded
Software will be compatible under IEEE 1394 AV/C and HAVi software standards with products produced by any other
manufacturer. The limited warranty contained in this section shall continue for a period of one (1) year from the date of
the original purchase at retail. If, after prompt notice within the warranty period, MDEA determines that the Embedded
Software has failed to perform in accordance with such functional description in all material respects and if such failure
is not due to accident, misuse, modification or misapplication of the Embedded Software, then MDEA shall modify or
replace the nonconforming Embedded Software at no charge to you, which at MDEA’s sole discretion may be fulfilled
by means of modification or replacement software contained on a replacement memory card for Customer installation.
The foregoing shall be MDEA’s sole obligation to you under this limited warranty. All rights under this limited warranty
on the Embedded Software also subject to your acceptance of and compliance with the terms of the Software License
Agreement applicable to this television, and this limited warranty on the Embedded Software shall be null and void if the
Embedded Software is modified or changed in any manner except as specifically authorized by MDEA.
c. Labor. For thirty (30) days after the original purchase at retail, we will repair or replace, at our option, the lenticular
screen if it proves defective. For certain items that are designed to be replaced by the consumer, including (but not
limited to) some Embedded Software, the consumer is solely responsible for any replacement labor. For all other parts,
we will provide the labor for a warranty repair by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center without charge for one (1)
year from the original date of purchase at retail.
d. Notice. To obtain warranty service, you must notify an authorized MITSUBISHI service center of any defect within
the applicable warranty time period.
e. This DLP Projection Television uses a single DLP chip to create the screen image. This technology creates the image
using small dots, or picture elements (pixels). Your DLP Projection TV is manufactured to a high level of performance
and quality, in fact, 99.99% perfect in the number of properly functioning pixels. As in other display technology, some-
times a pixel is continuously active, inactive or the incorrect color. Our standard is clear; MDEA warrants only that the
percentage of properly functioning pixels will be not less than 99.99% of all pixels.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE, please review the instruction booklet to insure proper installation and correct
customer control adjustment. If the problem persists please arrange for warranty service.
1. TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
a. Contact your nearest authorized MITSUBISHI service center, whose name and address can be obtained from your
MITSUBISHI dealer, by writing at the address provided below, calling MDEA at the 800-332-2119, or by using the
support feature of our website at www.Mitsubishi-tv.com.
b. Warranty service will be provided in your home or, if required, at an authorized service shop, provided that your
television is located within the geographic territory customarily covered by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center. If
not, you must either deliver your television to an authorized service location at your own expense, or pay for any travel
and/or transportation costs the service center may charge to and from your home. Actual service labor will be provided
without charge.
c. Proof of purchase date from an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer is required when requesting warranty service. Present
your sales receipt or other document which establishes proof and date of purchase. THE RETURN OF THE OWNER
REGISTRATION CARD IS NOT A CONDITION OF COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. However, please
return the Owner Registration Card so that we can contact you should a question of safety arise which could affect you.
122
d. To obtain a replacement lamp, order the lamp directly from the MDEA Parts Department at (800) 553-7278.
2. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
a. Up to .01% pixel outages (small dot picture elements that are dark or incorrectly illuminated).
b. Damage to the lenticular screen or Fresnel lens, screen frame, cosmetic damage or to any other damage where such
damage is caused by unauthorized modification, alteration, repairs to or service of the product by anyone other than
an authorized MITSUBISHI service center; physical abuse to or misuse of the product (including any failure to carry
out any maintenance as described in the Owner’s Guide including air filter cleaning or any product damaged by exces-
sive physical or electrical stress); any products that have had a serial number or any part thereof altered, defaced or
removed; product use in any manner contrary to the Owner’s Guide; freight damage; or any damage caused by acts
of God or other factors beyond the reasonable control of MDEA, such as power surge damage caused by electrical
system or lightning. This limited warranty also excludes service calls where no defect in the product covered under this
warranty is found, service calls related to unsatisfactory audio or visual reception or signal unless caused by a defect in
the product that is covered under this limited warranty, all costs, expenses or any other damages arising from product
installation, or set-ups, any adjustments of user controls (including contrast, brightness, color, tint, fine tuning, sharp-
ness), other adjustment necessary to prepare the unit for display or use, connection with any external audio receiver,
antenna, cable or satellite systems, or service of products purchased or serviced outside the U.S.A. Please consult the
operating instructions contained in the Owner’s Guide furnished with the product for information regarding user con-
trols.
3. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY WHICH, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION,
MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY
LIMITED TO A TERM OF ONE YEAR.
4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MDEA BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY,
BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE.
5. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special, or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
6. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state.
