LCD Screen Cleaning
- Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the screen. Do not use any liquids.
- Wipe the screen gently with an up and down motion.
- Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the screen.

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 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.
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.

Special Features of Your TV
Your new high-definition widescreen 1080p LCD television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:
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 consoles support this widescreen format.
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 programming.
High-Definition Video Inputs
- Two 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.
- Two HDMI Inputs that accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080 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.
- Two 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.
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.
Full Spectrum Color™
(LT-46131 Model only)
Mitsubishi's Full Spectrum Color™ results in 25% more color than standard LCD. Reds and yellows become more vivid and there are more available shades of Green, Cyan and Blue. The result is a more vivid and more realistic image.
Manual and Power Swivel
Both TV models (LT-37131 and LT-46131) allow you to swivel the TV manually up to 30 degrees from left to right. In addition, the LT-37131 model has the Power Swivel feature, which automatically swivels the TV left or right when you press ◀ or ▶ on the remote control. Note: Power Swivel is not available while the TV is in Split Screen mode.
PC Connectivity
The display has a PC (DVI) video connector that supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, or SXGA signals. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. Stereo audio inputs are also provided.
Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” 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 provider 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.
Please note that CableCARD is a relatively 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, 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 operator.
Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD are available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. You may be unable to record or copy some digital programs, however, because of copy restrictions set by the content or copyright owners.
Using a CableCARD™
Power on the TV and insert the CableCARD into the CableCARD slot with the top of the card oriented as indicated by CARD TOP ▲ When the initial screen displays, write down the information that appears and have it ready when calling your cable provider.

(Audio and Video)
Y Pb Pr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
Use these jacks to connect devices with component video outputs, such as DVD players, external HDTV receivers, or compatible video game systems. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
4. AVR OUT
(Audio only)
AVR OUT (AUDIO/ViDEO RECEIVER OUT) L/R jacks send analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire® (DTVLink/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio connection needed between it and the TV.
5. MONITOR OUTPUT
Use these composite video and left/right audio jacks to send analog video and audio signals to an external recording device such as a VCR. The signals from these jacks are from the program currently being viewed on the TV screen. To make recordings from this output, the TV must be in normal full-screen mode rather than in Split-Screen mode.
- From this output you can record audio and video signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, INPUT 1-3, and IEEE 1394 devices.
- Digital signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, and IEEE 1394 devices are converted to analog video and audio signals.
- Some signals cannot be recorded because of copy-protection flags in the content.
• Video signals from devices connected to COMPONENT 1 & 2, HDMI 1 & 2 or PC DVI are not available from these MONITOR OUTPUT jacks.
6. HDMI/DVI AUDIO
Audio for HDMI 1 & 2: Use these analog audio inputs when connecting DVI devices to the TV's HDMI jacks. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. For analog audio from a personal computer, use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks instead.
Back and Side Panels, continued
7. PC-DVI AUDIO
Use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks in conjunction with the PC-DVI video input from a personal computer. These jacks allow you to send left and right analog audio from your computer to the TV.
8. PC-DVI
PC-DVI is a DVI-I input compatible with both DVI-A (analog) and DVI-D (digital) inputs. Connect your personal computer's HDMI, DVI, or VGA video output to this jack. An adapter or converter cable may be required. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. To hear audio from the computer, connect analog audio cables from the computer to the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks.
The PC-DVI input is not intended for standard video from cable boxes, satellite receivers, or DVD players.
9. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital audio format. For PC video, use the PC-DVI input instead.
Do not connect a computer to either TV HDMI jack.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video formats.
These inputs can also accept DVI video inputs. To connect a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the HDMI/DVI AUDIO inputs on the TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.
These inputs are SimplayHD ^TM certified for proper interoperability with other products certified by Simplay ^TM .
10. DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this is the only audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V receiver.
11. DTVLINK™/IEEE 1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. See chapter 7, "Using IEEE 1394 Devices" for detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connections and recording.
12. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. When inserting, ensure that the top of the card faces in the direction indicated by CARD TOP ▲.

TV Signals and Picture Formats
This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This shape reflects the new types of picture formats available from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow-screen picture formats (for example, 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there is no perfect solution for displaying a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several picture formats from which you can choose.
Note: "Picture format" refers to the aspect ratio or the relative size/shape of the picture, such as 16:9 or 4:3.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available picture formats. The last-used format for each device is used when you return to that device.
Note: In Split Screen mode, the FORMAT key changes the picture size on both sides of the screen, but the aspect ratio (relative height and width) of both pictures remains the same.
DVD Definitions
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen pictures on 16:9 TV sets using the Standard format mode. This is the recommended viewing choice.
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.
This information may be listed on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.
Signal Definitions
480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from or through ANT-1 and 2, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT 1 and 2, HDMI 1 and 2.
480p Signals: Progressive-scan DVD signals on COMPONENT inputs and HDMI 1 and 2.
720p and 1080i Signals: High-definition signals received through COMPONENT inputs and HDMI 1 and 2. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
1080p Signals: High-definition signals received through HDMI 1 and 2.
SD 4:3: Standard-definition narrow-screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.
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).
TV Picture Format Definitions
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 picture correctly. Narrow (4:3) pictures are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.
Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, cropping 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.
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 and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) picture 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 and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
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 menus, press ▲to adjust the position of the picture vertically. Available for 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) pictures in their original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
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 pictures that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals.
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 picture or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.

With Auto selected, the TV automatically detects and applies film-decoding correction for images that originated on 24-frame-per-second film cameras and were converted to 30-frame-per-second video for broadcast (3:2 pulldown conversion). Try the Off setting if the TV adds noticeable jagged edges to the images.
When the original video was filmed on 30-frame-per-second cameras, the Auto setting automatically applies video decoding, the same as used with the Off setting.
Film Mode is not effective for high-definition signals.

◇ Tint: Provides a slider to adjust the red-to-green ratio.
◇ Sharpness: Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.
◇ Color Temperature (Bright/Natural/Brilliant): Allows you to adjust how white is displayed.
- Low: White images have a warm cast. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness, and the TV's age. Natural/Color Temp at the low setting displays video at the 6500K industry standard for NTSC pictures.
- High: White images have a cool cast. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

Overview
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:
1. Digital Video Signals
The TV can decode MPEG2 video as provided by cable boxes and some camcorders. Many camcorders provide DV video, which the TV cannot decode. Connect a DV 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.
2. Digital Audio Signals
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 recording devices, such as DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394 connections.
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 the IEEE 1394 cable.
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.
- EIA-775. Designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes, allowing the device to send simple graphics. This standard does not, however, allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
- AV/C (Audio Video Control). Designed to provide basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection, and volume, as appropriate for the device.
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.
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.
natural_image
Four different types of USB connectors shown in black, gray, and white (no text or symbols visible)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 electrical power from another 6-pin device, there are several ways to provide electrical power to the device:
- 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
There are two connection methods for IEEE 1394 devices. Use the method that fits your network of audio/video products.
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.
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.

Overview, continued
Tips for 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 is 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 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.
- 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. 1394b systems are capable of greater distances and multi-room applications.
- The TV can recognize a maximum of seven IEEE 1394 devices.
IEEE 1394 Devices and the Input Selection Menu
Select an IEEE 1394 device to watch from the Input Selection menu just as you would any other device. See figure 3, 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 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.
IEEE 1394 Amplifiers
You can use the TV to control switching between the TV speakers and speakers connected to your IEEE 1394 amplifier.
- Press INPUT to open the Input Selection menu. The screen will show an icon for a connected IEEE 1394 amplifier. If an IEEE 1394 amplifier has been connected, AVR and TV speaker icons will display.
- Press AUDIO to move the highlight to the audio section.
- Press ◀▶ to select either the TV speakers or the IEEE 1394 amplifier.
- Press ENTER to select and hear the new audio source.
IEEE 1394 Camcorders
- Control Functions. Connect the camcorder to the TV's IEEE 1394 jack on the rear of the TV and test using the TV's remote control to operate the camcorder. If your model does not operate properly, use the camcorder's control buttons instead.
- MPEG Camcorder. If you are unable to play back over the IEEE 1394 interface, use the analog audio/video connections described in chapter 2, "TV Connections."
- DV Camcorder. Connect the camcorder using the analog audio and video connections described in chapter 2, "TV Connections."
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 over the IEEE 1394 cable.
Recording to IEEE 1394 Recordable Devices
You can use the TV to control recording to IEEE 1394 devices. While recording, you can view a program on a different input or power off the TV. The following table lets you see what signals can be recorded to an IEEE 1394 digital VCR or A/V disc.
| Recording Availability | Signal Type TV Input | |
| Can be recorded | Digital channels, including high-definition channels | ANT 1, ANT 2 |
| Digital signals, including high-definition signals | IEEE 1394 devices | |
| Cannot be recorded | Analog channels | ANT 1, ANT 2 |

Bypassing the Parental Lock
After you set the lock, you must use your pass code to view a locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the lock, or enter the Parental Lock menus.
If you forget your pass code, you can view the locked TV without entering your pass code. When you are prompted for your pass code, press the number 9 and QV buttons on the TV remote control at the same time. This process temporarily unlocks the TV
When entering the Parental Lock menu, this process deletes your old pass code and prompts you to enter a new pass code.
- You can either enter a new pass code to open the Parental Lock menu and make changes or press EXIT to close the menu.
- If any of the locks are turned on and you exit the menus when prompted for a new code, the old code and all lock settings are retained.
- If all locks are turned off and you exit the menus when prompted for a new code, then the previous code is erased.
IMPORTANT
When changing or deleting your pass code, 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 C: Troubleshooting
TV Reset Functions
You can resolve many common TV problems using the reset functions described in the following table. See also the additional troubleshooting suggestions later in this appendix.
IMPORTANT
Before you change sound or picture settings: If picture or sound settings seem wrong for a broadcast
channel (a channel from ANT 1, ANT 2, a cable box, or satellite receiver), first check other channels from the same input before changing settings. If most other channels from the same input seem correct, there is likely a problem with the broadcast rather than with the TV. Use care in this case, as changes you make to fix problems on individual channels also affect all other channels on the same input.
