Back Panel
1. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)
ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.
Your primary viewing signal source should be connected to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view premium subscription cable TV service authorized by the CableCARD™ access card. The CableCARD access card is provided by your local cable company. ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.
2. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card should face in the direction the CARD TOP arrow indicates.
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 16 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided and authorized by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.
3. Input DTV (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
This input is used to connect an external DTV receiver, and can be configured for YPbPr or RGB plus H&V signal types. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
4. Component-1, -2 Inputs YPbPr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)
These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with component video outputs, such as a DVD player, external HDTV receiver or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
5. Input-1, -2; Monitor Output (Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)
Input 1 and 2 can be used for the connection of a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver or other A/V device to the TV. Please note that if S-VIDEO and VIDEO are available for the input, you must choose to connect only one. They cannot both be connected at the same time.
The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals from the antennas or Inputs to an A/V receiver or other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR. Digital channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be down converted to analog signals compatible with traditional VCRs. Digital channels or IEEE 1394 signals may be output with copy protection or may display no video signals if they have copy restrictions. There will be only audio and no video signals from Monitor Outputs when viewing the Component 1 & 2 inputs, INPUT-DTV, the HDMI input or Cards 1-4.
Back Panel, continued
Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should be connected to your A/V receiver for home theater surround sound.
6. PC Input and Audio (VGA/WVGA/SVGA/WSVGA/XGA/720p, 60Hz)
This input can be used for the connection of a computer. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. If NetCommand® has not been setup, the on-screen display name will be VGA.
Stereo audio inputs are also provided for the PC connection.
7. DTV Link/IEEE1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Three jacks (one on the front panel and two on the back) are provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.
8. IR Emitter-NetCommand®
Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite receivers and audio receivers.
9. DVI Analog Audio
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI.
10. HDMI/M-Link
M-Link(MonitorLink™) is a Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for the display of high quality digital video signals from Mitsubishi products, such as the HD-6000 HDTV Receiver/Controller.
The HDMI ^™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high definition digital video formats and existing digital multi-channel audio formats. If using a cable box, the HDMI input supports both video and audio using a single cable.
Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition receiver or DVD player. This input supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video formats. It is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions.
This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable will be necessary to make this connection and may be available from your local electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left and right audio from your DVI device.
This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.
11. M-Link/RS-232C Control
A digital control interface that works in conjunction with M-Link. While M-Link provides the digital video signal, the RS-232 control provides enhanced functioning such as automatic power ON/OFF and input port selection with an external control system. For RS-232 command protocol please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com.
12. Digital Audio Output
This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver's coaxial digital audio input. The output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog sound to your A/V receiver.
Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can damage speakers. For this reason, the TV will automatically turn off the digital audio output when tuned to a channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and right audio from Monitor Output.

Connecting External Devices & NetCommand® Setup
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV's memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also assigns preset TV and A/V receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and video) and to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.

CableCARD™ Technology
CableCARD Technology
CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows your TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription, without the use of a cable box. It also allows your cable provider to automatically update and change your subscription. When you move to a new cable provider's area, you simply return the CableCARD to the original cable provider and get a new card from your new cable provider.
Please note that CableCARD is a new technology and your local cable provider may not currently be offering this service. As time passes, this system will become broadly supported by most cable providers.
The CableCARD system is “unidirectional” which means your cable provider can send updates to the access card and TV, however, the TV cannot send back signals such as requests for Video-On-Demand or Pay-per-View request by remote control.
Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD will be available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. Some digital channels or programs may not be copied or recorded because of copy restriction limits set by the content owners or copyright holders.
The digital television is cable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A security card (CableCARD) provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable operator's enhanced program guide and data-enhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable operator.
Please see page 17 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.
Using a CableCARD
After inserting a CableCARD into the TV back panel CableCARD slot and powering On the TV, the initialization process begins. An initial screen will automatically display for a few minutes, with information that your Cable Provider will need in order to start service. Please write down this information before calling your cable provider.
Please call XYZ Cable
at xxx-xxx-xxxx to
activate cable service.
They will need these numbers:
Host ID X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX
CableCARD™ ID: X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX
See owner's manual for
further information
An example of an initial screen is shown here. Your screen will display specific information from your cable provider and may not look like this screen.
If you were unable to record the information, you can press TV MENU on the remote and then enter the number 999 and the screen will re-display. You can also press DEVICE MENU when the CableCARD is the selected source and you will be able to select the startup application.
IMPORTANT
To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.
Connecting a Lead Antenna or Separate UHF and VHF Antenna

- Place the emitter end in front of the remote control sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter bulb should face the remote control sensor. This bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern. The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to include the sensor.
The remote control sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible when you look through the display plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see the sensor and the device's Owner's Guide does not specify the location, you can find it by using the device's remote control. Hold the remote about 1/2 inch from the front of the device. Starting from one end of the display window plastic, press the POWER button.
If the device does not respond, move the remote control 1 inch toward the center and try again. Repeat this until the device responds. Note this location then start over from the other end of the display window plastic, repeating until the device responds again. The remote control sensor will be somewhere between these two positions. This is usually enough accuracy for the placement of the IR emitters.
-
With some devices, the emitter will work better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.
-
The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.
-
If you are not going to be using all emitter ends, place the unused ends behind the devices so that they cannot send signals to the remote control sensors.
Figure 17. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand
IMPORTANT
If a single emitter end can be placed in a position that will operate more than one device, do not use a separate emitter end for the additional device. A single device receiving remote control signals from too many emitters or remote controls may not respond at all.
Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with the NetCommand ^® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:
1. Digital Video Signals
The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types of digital video, such as DV video provided by some camcorders, must be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as analog video or S-Video. If the camcorder uses a compatible digital control system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the TV is viewing the analog video or S-Video signals.
2. Digital Audio Signals
When received with video signals, the TV is able to decode Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other types of digital audio as provided by some digital recording devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394.
The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.
3. Digital Control Signal
The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394 audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control standards.
- EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics. However, this standard does not allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
- AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed to provide basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection and volume, as appropriate for the device.
Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices. For example, there may be a recording device that is also a tuning device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit. When you select a device on the Device Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear so you can select which sub-unit section you wish to use.
When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices
- Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.
- Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the On position. When turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other devices.
- Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an "S" number. The higher the number, the faster the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, select "Record Later".
- Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.
- This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer distances and multi-room applications. Included in the IEEE 1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b converters to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394a devices.
Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices, continued
Connection Styles
There are two different connection styles that can be used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that fits your network of audio/video products.
Direct Device-To-Device Style
The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you had to individually connect each device directly to the TV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 DVD Player and then connect the 1394 DVD Player to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to add more devices to the chain. You will be able to see each video device on the TV's Device Selection Menu and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.
Hub Connection Style
The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect your devices using the TV as a hub within the audio/video network. Each device can send information, which may include audio and video, to any other device in the network.

E --> I["Digital VCR #1"]
4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors
There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin style.
4 pin connector
The 4-pin connector sends digital audio signals, digital video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices. Your TV has three 4-pin type connection jacks available. One is on the front panel and two are on the back.
6 pin connector
The 6-pin connector is capable of sending the same digital audio, video and control signals as the 4-pin connector, but the 6-pin connector is also able to send low voltage electrical power. This TV does not have 6 pin connectors.
The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to provide the needed operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector can send this electrical power to another device, or receive electrical power from another device, or simply use a 6-pin connector without using the two additional pins.
6 pin to 4 pin adaptor
A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device, you will need to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor or adaptor cable. These cables are available from electronic and computer stores.
When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder) to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device) you will need to connect the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the camcorder's battery for power. If this is not possible, then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power.
Connecting: Helpful Hints
Q My VCR (or other device) does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs. How can I connect this device's audio to both the TV and the A/V Receiver?
A. There are two solutions:
-
Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only. Use Edit NetCommand® to change the setup of this device. In the Connection screen of "Change" make sure both audio and video for the TV input are checkmarked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device's audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details.
-
Use RCA type "Y" splitter cables to split the device's audio output to be connected to both the TV and the A/V Receiver.
Q. I have both the TV monitor stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designation on my A/V Receiver. How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio?
A. This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when a digital audio signal is supplied. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched by remote control. For these types of A/V Receivers, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of these features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V Receiver.
Q. The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control sensor of the A/V Receiver. What can I do?
A. There are several possible solutions.
- 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. You can connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the TV. Then use Edit NetCommand to "Add" this as an "Other" device, not an A/V Receiver. On the "Connection" screen, indicate which TV input was used and checkmark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not checkmarked. You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu. You can also use Input 3 (Camcorder) on the front panel.
Q. I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would like to be able use as well. Is there any way to connect this receiver both ways?
A. Yes, this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu. Just add this unit once using the Input-DTV and once using one of the S-video inputs. Make sure you indicate that this is the same manufacturer for both. We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S-video to the TV so that you do not need to use two inputs on the A/V Receiver. If this is a NetCommand compatible HDTV receiver and HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of this feature.

Using the Remote Control with NetCommand®
Below is a list of several manufacturers devices tested and shown to be compatible with NetCommand. These devices can be controlled without changing the setting of the remote control from TV to another product. NetCommand may be able to operate additional models since many manufacturers use the same control signals to operate some or all of the models they offer. This chart lists only the models that have been tested with NetCommand. The NetCommand Learning feature is able to learn the remote control signals of most Audio Video devices. For devices not listed in the table, or if your device does not operate using the same remote control as the models listed below, use the learning feature by selecting "Other" at the [Device] screen. See the Edit NetCommand section of this Guide.
NOTE: There are many different types of remotes and not all of them may be compatible with the learning feature. Bright light near the TV screen can also adversely affect the learning feature. If it is not possible to learn a device, you will need to use the original remote control of the device, or program the TV remote to operate these devices in the traditional manner.

IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand® Control
See pages 28-29 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles. The TV is not able to control IEEE 1394 devices that use other types of control protocols. Incompatible digital audio, video and/or control information will still be able to pass from one device through the TV to another device on the network. These incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand menu.
NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the "Learn" Feature.
Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite receivers will not have compatible digital control signals or require the use of the device's own remote control. Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display on-screen information through the IEEE 1394 connection and will require using an analog connection for on-screen displays. In many cases, to control these digital devices, the Learning feature of NetCommand can be used.
- Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device's remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 27).
- On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 49) check mark the Analog Connection check box.
- Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 50) of cable box, DBS or similar tuning device.
- Select "Other" as a manufacturer and then highlight "Learn" and press ENTER on the Device screen (Figure 4, page 50).
- Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
- The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 50) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs. If analog connections are not used, uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV and AVR inputs.
- Proceed with the Finish screen.
This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices.
Note: When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections, the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice. The first press of GUIDE will display the TV's digital channel guide. The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available.
Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically
When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered On, the new device will automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce their presence to the TV. The TV will not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection menu, however, they can coexist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.
IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/DBS/DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation.
New 1394 Device Screen
Figure 1 When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting “Add” will include the device in the Device Selection menu. Selecting “Do Not Add” will not add the device to the Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394 device does not provide audio and video, you may not want to add that device to the TV’s Device Selection menu. Devices that were discovered but not added to the Device Selection menu will still be listed in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand® menu.
Figure 1. New 1394 Device screen
Name for 1394 Device Screen
Figure 2 If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device, the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear. Name the device or use the default name that appears automatically.
Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some DVCRs, can also operate as analog devices. For example, some DVCRs can record and play as VHS or S-VHS, in addition to D-VHS. This allows you to play analog rental tapes or analog tapes from your established library or make analog recordings from antenna or cable systems. To use the analog capability, check the Analog Connection box.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically, continued
IEEE 1394 Device Type Screen
Figures 3 and 4 If the new IEEE 1394 device is also connected using analog inputs, you will need to define the device type. Select the type of device, such as a VCR.
Figure 3. IEEE 1394 Device Type screen
Once the device type is selected, then the Device screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be selected. If the manufacturer is listed, then you may be able to control this device while it is operating as an analog VCR. For example, if the IEEE 1394 device you have added is a Mitsubishi DVCR, and you have selected an analog connection as a second connection, then you will select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not listed, select “Other” and use the Learn screens.
Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote control sensor, just as you have done for other NetCommand® devices. It is necessary to use the IR Emitter only when the DVCR is being used as an S-VHS or VHS VCR. When the DVCR is playing or recording digital signals in D-VHS, the TV will control the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable.
Figure 4. Device screen
Connection Screen
Figure 5 Select the TV input that you used when you connected the video or S-Video cables. You may also select the TV or A/V receiver input you used when you connected the stereo audio cables. The TV will learn the input names for the TV Input and A/V Receiver Input selections. If your A/V receiver has other inputs than those listed in the menu, those other inputs are not available for NetCommand.
The playback and record control of some DV camcorders may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically, even though you must use the video or S-video cable for the picture. In this case, when you select the Camcorder, be sure to select analog (not digital) from the pop up when a camcorder is selected from the Device Selection menu. Then the picture is shown via the analog connection but control is from IEEE 1394.

NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?
Figure 14
A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices in your TV network to talk to each other without the further need of TV intervention once the peer-to-peer connection is established.
For example, the TV can setup a connection for an A/V Disc or DVCR that sends a recorded program to an IEEE 1394 monitor in another room. NetCommand will establish the connection between the two devices. Once the connection has been established, the TV can be turned off or used to watch another device. Recording from digital channels to a DVCR is also a peer-to-peer connection. In this case, the TV is one of the devices in the peer-to-peer connection.
Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be used for peer-to-peer connections.
Figure 14. Record screen

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 to choose from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last used format for each device will be used when you return to that device.
Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP. Side-by-Side, 3 POP and 9 POP are only available in Standard and Expand formats. PC formats vary depending on PC signal.
Signals and Formats Definitions:
480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from or through Ant-1 & 2, Inputs 1-3, Component 1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.
480p Signals: Progressive scan analog DVD signals on Ant-1 & 2, Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.
720p & 1080i Signals: High definition analog signals received through Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
SD 4:3: Standard definition narrow screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.
SD 16:9: Standard definition wide screen 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).
Standard: This is the full screen format. HDTV signals use this format. This format is useful to display Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will still display black bars at the top and bottom, but will show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.
Expand: This will enlarge the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This is useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD. Available for analog 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.
Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful to remove or reduce the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format will stretch a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than the sides. This will allow the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than seen in the Standard format. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Narrow: This format will display narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and add 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.
DVD Definitions:
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for Widescreen 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, Letterbox 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 Letterboxed 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.

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.
Diamond Shield™:
- Clean with a soft non-abrasive cloth moistened with water only.
Screen behind the Diamond Shield:
- Follow the instructions for the top and sides, however, wipe 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 (800) 553-7278.
General Cleaning Warnings:
- DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots or any crevice.

For certain items that are designed to be replaced by the consumer, including (but not limited to) the Diamond Shield™ and/or some Embedded Software, the consumer is solely responsible for any replacement labor. The VIP lamp is consumer replaceable and labor for replacement is not covered under warranty, please refer to the Owner's Guide for replacement procedures. Air filter cleaning is normal consumer required maintenance and labor for this procedure is not covered under warranty, please refer to the Owner's Guide for air filter cleaning procedures. 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 revolutionary technology, Digital Micromirror Device™, 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, 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.
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.

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.
