Frequently Asked Questions - WD-62526 MITSUBISHI

How do I turn off demo mode?

Press TV MENU to display the menu, then press the following buttons in sequence: 0, QV, 0. Demo mode will be disabled.

How do I replace the lamp cartridge?

Purchase replacement lamp (part # 915P028010). Turn off and unplug the TV. Open the lamp access door on the back, remove the old lamp, insert the new one, and secure the door. After replacement, reset the lamp reminder via Setup Menu > Lamp Reminder.

How often should I clean the dust filter?

Clean the dust filter at least once a year or whenever you replace the lamp cartridge. A dirty filter may cause the STATUS indicator to glow yellow and the TV may overheat.

How do I connect an HDMI device?

Use an HDMI cable to connect the device to one of the HDMI inputs on the TV back panel. HDMI carries both video and audio, so no separate audio connection is needed.

How do I use the PIP/POP feature?

Press PIP/POP on the remote to activate. Cycle through display options (PIP, side-by-side, etc.) by pressing PIP/POP repeatedly. Use PIP DEVICE to select the sub-picture source and PIP CH to change channels when the source is ANT 1.

Press SLEEP on the remote control. Each press increases the time by 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 120 minutes. To cancel, press SLEEP repeatedly until OFF is displayed.

How do I program the remote control for other devices?

Refer to Appendix B of the manual. You can program the remote by entering a code or using the code search method. The slide switch must be set to the appropriate device mode (e.g., VCR, DVD).

What do the front panel LED indicators mean?

POWER/TIMER: solid green = TV on, slow blinking = timer set, fast blink = start-up. LAMP: yellow steady = lamp near end of life, red steady = lamp failed. STATUS: yellow steady = overheating or dirty filter, red = possible service needed.

How do I reset the A/V settings to factory defaults?

Press and hold GUIDE and FORMAT on the front panel simultaneously. This resets all audio and video settings for the current input.

How do I set parental controls using V-Chip?

Go to TV Menu > V-Chip Lock. Enter a pass code (default is 0000). You can block programs by rating (e.g., TV-MA, R) or lock the TV by time. You can also disable the front panel buttons.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Installation Notes

Stand Requirement

CAUTION: Use these Mitsubishi TV models only with the Mitsubishi stand models shown here. Use with other stands can result in instability and possibly cause injury.

TV Model Number Stand Model Number

WD-52526 MB-52527

WD-62526 MB-62527

Custom cabinet installation must allow for proper air circulation around the television.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER'S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.

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-authorized software may damage the TV and will not be covered by the warranty.

Operating Notes

Demo Mode

This TV has a demo mode for use in retail stores. To turn off demo mode:

1. Press TV MENU.
2. When the menu appears, press the following buttons in sequence:

0, QV, 0

Standby Fan

When the TV is off, you may hear a low-power standby fan. This is normal operation. The fan cools advanced circuitry in this TV that must continue to operate even when the TV is turned off.

Temporary Residual Images

Prolonged display of stationary images on your TV may cause faint residual “ghost” images to be visible when viewing other programs. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY. The residual images will disappear within days or weeks. Most TV and DVD programming is of generally uniform brightness and will not produce this effect.

To prevent the appearance of residual images:

- Avoid display of stationary images for extended periods on this or any other LCD projection TV. Examples of such images include:

• Stationary images that may be part of video games and web pages
• Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video
• Side bars displayed with narrow-format video (see definition on page 37)
• Top and bottom bars displayed with letterbox video (see definition on page 37)

Lamp Replacement

The image on this TV is produced by a powerful lamp that will operate for many hours. Eventually, however, this lamp will need to be replaced. Replace the lamp yourself and save the cost of a service call. Front-panel indicators and/or on-screen messages will assist you in determining when the lamp needs to be replaced. Please see Appendix F for details on lamp replacement.

To obtain a new lamp:

To Receive a Replacement Lamp Under Warranty To	Purchase a Replacement Lamp After Warranty
Call [phone]. Please have model number, serial number, and TV purchase date available.	Call [phone]. Order lamp part number 915P028010.

Dust-Filter Cleaning

Clean the dust filter annually and whenever you replace the lamp cartridge. See Appendix E for cleaning instructions. A dirty filter may cause the TV to overheat (the STATUS indicator on the front panel will glow yellow). Never operate this TV without a clean dust filter in place.

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 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.

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.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

TV Back Panel

1. ANT 1 (Antenna)

ANT 1 can receive digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.

2. INPUT 1 and 2

(Audio/Video 1 and 2)

Use INPUT 1 and 2 to connect a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. INPUT 1 and 2 accept standard RCA-type left and right stereo audio plugs, S-Video, and composite video. Please note that if you connect to the S-VIDEO input, the VIDEO input is automatically deactivated.

3. COMPONENT 1 and 2

YPbPr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

Use these inputs to connect devices with component video outputs, such as a DVD player, external HDTV receiver, or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix C for signal compatibility.

TV Back Panel, continued

4. DVI Analog Audio

Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI, such as DVI output from a DVD player. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable, thus requiring a separate audio input.

5. AUDIO OUTPUT, RECORD OUTPUT

AUDIO OUTPUT sends 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 and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If you have an analog rather than digital A/V receiver, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your analog A/V receiver or stereo system.

RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a VCR for recording purposes. Digital video from digital channels is downconverted to analog video. Audio alone is output when a COMPONENT 1 or 2 or HDMI 1 or 2 input is selected for recording.

6. Service Port

This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only or for authorized software updates.

7. HDMI ^TM 1 and 2

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.

Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861-compliant devices such as high-definition cable boxes, satellite receivers, or DVD players. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video formats.

These inputs can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable is necessary to make this connection and may be available from your local electronics retailer. When using the HDMI input to connect a DVI device, use the DVI Analog Audio inputs on your TV to receive left and right stereo audio from the DVI device.

This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

8. Digital Audio Output

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 should be the only audio connection between the TV and the A/V receiver.

TV Display Formats

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 will never be a perfect solution for displaying a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which to choose.

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: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP. Side-by-Side is only available in Standard and Expand formats.

DVD Definitions

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for Wide-Screen TV's):

These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets in the Standard format mode. This is the recommended choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box or Full Screen):

These DVDs are recorded for use with traditional shaped TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or Letter boxed, which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may or may not 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, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT inputs, and HDMI inputs.

480p Signals: Progressive-scan analog DVD signals on COMPONENT inputs and HDMI inputs.

720p & 1080i Signals: High-definition analog signals received through COMPONENT and HDMI inputs. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3: Standard-definition narrow-screen format signals from digital channels.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen format signals from digital channels.

HD: High-definition wide-screen format signals from digital channels. These signals are always 16:9 (wide-screen). Note that broadcasters often convert standard

programming not originally created in high definition. These standard-definition programs usually originated with a 4:3 aspect ratio. To fit the 16:9 format required for high-definition broadcast, the broadcaster may fill the space by either expanding the picture or by adding side bars.

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 image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images 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 analog 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 analog 480i and 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 analog 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. When no PIP is displayed, you can press ADJUST up or down to vertically adjust the position of the picture. Available for analog 480i and 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 digital 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 images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for analog 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals.

Turn On or Off to automatically equalize the volume level when there are significant sound-level differences between program segments, e.g., between regular programming and commercials. To receive the best fidelity with music programs, turn this setting to Off. When connecting to an A/V receiver, set level sound to OFF and turn the TV speakers off to send full dynamics to the A/V receiver.

Analog-Only Audio Settings

You can set analog-only audio settings while viewing either analog or digital sources, but the settings affect only broadcast analog content.

◇ Listen to

Determines how your TV receives a broadcast audio signal and plays the sound you hear.

Your choices are:

- Stereo: Default setting. The TV plays stereo broadcasts in stereo and mono broadcasts in mono. The word “Stereo” is displayed when you tune to a channel broadcasting in stereo.

• SAP (Second Audio Program): Additional monaural sound track that you cannot hear during normal TV viewing. The SAP signal might be related to the program you are watching, (such as a sound track in a foreign language), or it might be unrelated (such as a weather report). If an SAP signal is broadcast, the letters “SAP” are displayed when you tune to the channel.
• Mono: Reduces background noise. Use when receiving a weak stereo audio signal. All audio is played mono with this setting.

Listen to is not available for devices connected to the TV Inputs, component inputs.

Digital-Only Audio Settings

You can set digital-only audio settings while viewing either analog or digital channels, but the settings affect only broadcast digital content.

◇ Language

Determines what possible language you can hear. Your choices are:

English Portuguese

French Spanish

German Other

Italian

Video Settings

Press the VIDEO key repeatedly to cycle through the Video options to the one you want to change. Use ADJUST ◀ ▶ to change settings.

A slider displays on screen for most settings. When the slider is displayed, it represents a numeric value, with 63 as the maximum, 31 as the mid-point, and 0 as the minimum.

Bright/Natural Modes

Before adjusting the other video settings, cycle through the video settings and set the mode to either Bright or Natural. Bright and Natural modes are available for some settings and allow you to optimize the image for a brighter (daytime) or dimmer (nighttime) viewing environment.

Your TV remembers two independent Contrast, Brightness, and Color Temperature settings, one for each of the two modes. Whenever you change settings for Contrast, Brightness, or Color Temperature, first check which of the two modes (Bright/Natural) is active.

◇ Contrast (Bright/Natural)

Provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast shows darker images more uniformly black and makes colors appear more vibrant. In most home lighting situations, a medium contrast looks best. High contrast is good for brightly lit environments.

◇ Brightness (Bright/Natural)

Provides a slider to adjust the overall brightness of the picture.

◇ Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

◇ Tint

Provides a slider to adjust the ratio of red to green.

◇ Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

◇ Color Temp (Bright/Natural)

Allows you to adjust how white images are displayed. Your choices are:

- Low: White images have a warm cast to them. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness, and the TV's age. Natural/Color Temp at the low setting displays video at the 6500K industry standard for NTSC pictures.

- High: White images have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

PerfectColor™

Allows adjustment of any or all of six colors (Magenta, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan and Blue) to create color balance. When you select PerfectColor and press ENTER, you can select either automatic or manual (individual) adjustment.

With manual adjustment, individual sliders for each color are displayed. Highlighted text shows which slider you are adjusting. Each TV input or device has a memory for PerfectColor. Press CANCEL to reset the colors to the default settings.

Figure 14. PerfectColor™ adjustment sliders

◇ Video Noise

Use to reduce minor noise (graininess) in the broadcast received on ANT 1, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT 1 and 2, and HDMI 1 and 2. Use the Standard setting with good-quality signals.

Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock

Lock Bypass Instructions Have Been Filed for Future Reference

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock

After you set the lock, you need your pass code to view a V-Chip-locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the lock, or enter the V-Chip Lock menus.

If you forget your pass code, you can view the locked TV without entering your pass code. When 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 V-Chip Lock menu, this process deletes your old pass code and prompts you to enter a new pass code. Press HOME to exit the menu without resetting the pass code.

Deactivating the Front Button Lock

Press and hold the MENU button on the TV front panel for over eight seconds.

IMPORTANT

Cut along the dotted line and file bypass instructions in a safe place for future reference.

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 D: General Cleaning

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use any kind of abrasive cleaner on the surface of the TV screen.

Cleaning

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:

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 moistened 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 between the screen and the screen frame.
• You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part number CLEANER-VSS, by calling [phone].

General Cleaning Warnings

• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation 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.

Appendix E: Filter Cleaning

Cleaning the Dust Filter

Clean the filter annually and whenever you replace the lamp cartridge.

Tool needed: Phillips screwdriver

1. Turn the television off and unplug the AC cord.
2. Carefully access the back of the television. If the TV must be moved, use two people.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that hold the dust filter cover in place.
4. Carefully remove the dust filter cover from the TV and set the screws aside in a safe place for reuse.
5. To open the dust filter cover, please follow carefully: while squeezing the grating between the thumb and fingers of one hand, pull the tab with the index finger of your other hand. See (a) and (b) in the illustration to the left.
6. Clean the filter material by dusting with a lint-free cloth.
7. If the filter is soiled, carefully pull it out of the cover and rinse it with water. Do not use detergents or soap on the filter.
8. Completely air dry the filter before placing it back into the dust filter cover. Make sure to place the filter with the notched edge at the upper right corner.
9. Replace the filter in the TV and secure with the screws.

IMPORTANT: Never operate this TV without a clean filter in place.

Appendix F: Lamp Cartridge Replacement

CAUTION

BURN DANGER!

During normal operation, the surfaces inside the TV near the lamp are extremely hot.

Do not touch the glass parts of the lamp cartridge.

CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off and unplug the AC power cord. Allow the television to cool for at least one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

LAMP LIFE

The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The actual life of the lamp in this television 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 shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently.

When the end of the lamp's average life is approaching, the TV displays a warning message for one minute when you power on the TV. The message will reappear the next five times you turn on the TV. If you wish, you may continue to use the current lamp until it stops working. After you change the lamp cartridge, you must reset the lamp reminder through the TV Setup menu. Otherwise, the warning message will appear again earlier than necessary. Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from date of the original purchase at retail. It is likely, however, that the lamp will last significantly longer than this.

TO ORDER A NEW LAMP

To Receive a Replacement Lamp Under Warranty To Purchase a Replacement Lamp After Warranty
Call [phone]. Please have model number, serial number, and TV purchase date available.	Call [phone]. Order lamp part number 915P028010.

WARNING

• Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because of the lamp's high temperature. Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.
• 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 electrical shock. If a foreign object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.
  • Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.
• Do not touch the lamp glass elements. Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.

Hg = MERCURY

THE LAMP INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MERCURY AND MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

IMPORTANT

Reset the lamp hours through the TV setup menu each time you replace the lamp cartridge. Otherwise, the lamp warning message will reappear sooner than necessary.

If this happens frequently, obtain an AC line power conditioner/surge protector.An unusual digital signal may have been received, triggering a protection circuit. Wait for the light to stop flashing and turn TV on.

Mitsubishi LCD Rear 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 warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

b. Embedded Software. MDEA warrants that all software incorporated into this television set (the "Embedded Software") 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.

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 are 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.

d. Notice. To obtain warranty service, you must notify an authorized MITSUBISHI service center of any defect within the applicable warranty time period.

As in other display technology, sometimes 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.
