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 periods 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.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Warning: Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns.

Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern and reduce the initial contrast level. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, digital TV tuner/converter boxes and karaoke machines.

Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:

Letterbox top/bottom black bars:

Shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.

Side bar images

Solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.

News and stock-market report bars

Ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.

Shopping channel logos & pricing displays

Bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.

Video game patterns and scoreboards

Bright station logos

Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

Online (Internet) websites

Or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images, including digital photos or computer applications/programs.

Closed Captioning

Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather than a black or a bright color if you frequently use closed captioning.

DTV Receiver with RGB Video Connections

(Figure 13)

1. Connect the outside antenna, cable, or satellite to ANT or SATELLITE IN on the DTV receiver (see your DTV receiver owner's guide for instructions and cable compatibility).
2. If your DTV receiver has a built-in terrestrial tuner, connect the incoming terrestrial antenna to ANT on the DTV receiver. If your DTV receiver does not have a built-in terrestrial tuner, this TV will only be able to provide an analog signal through Ant-A on the TV back panel.
3. Connect the RGB cables from the DTV receiver to the TV back panel as listed below (if your DTV receiver uses BNC-type cables, use the adaptors shown in Figure 11, page 19):

DTV Receiver

TV Back Panel

$$ G (\text { green }) = Y / G $$

$$ B (\text { blue }) = P b / B $$

$$ R (\text { red }) = \operatorname * {P r} / R $$

1. If the DTV receiver has outputs for H and V sync, connect as listed below (DO NOT connect if DTV receiver uses "Sync on Green"):

$$ H (\text { horizontal sync }) = H $$

$$ V (\text { vertical sync }) = V $$

1. Connect the L (left) and R (right) audio cables from the DTV receiver to DTV AUDIO on the TV back panel.

2. To utilize the benefits of a digital A/V receiver, connect your DTV receiver's digital audio out to a digital input on your digital A/V receiver. You may need to setup the DTV (See Input Assignment, page 35) to RGB.

Connecting MonitorLink™/DVI

MonitorLink/DVI

(Figure 14)

The Monitor Link/DVI input uses a DVI-I Dual Link connector for maximum cable flexibility. When MonitorLink is used as a DVI-HDCP input, the terminal is compliant with DVI-D Single Link signals matching EIA-861 standards for standard, extended and high definition video with scanning rates of 480p and 1080i. However, this input is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions. All other DTV video signals, such as 720p, need to be converted by the DTV receiver (or compatible device) to one of the compatible signal types. Please check the specifications on your device before connecting.

1. Connect a MonitorLink/DVI cable from the TV back panel to the Mitsubishi HD Receiver/Controller back panel.
2. Connect the MonitorLink Control/RS-232 cable from the TV back panel to the Mitsubishi HD Receiver/Controller back panel.
3. Connect the L (left) and R (right) audio cables from the HDTV receiver to AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT on the MonitorLink section of the TV back panel.

Note: DVI and RS-232 cables can be found at your local electronics store if they are not included with your devices.

Please refer to www.mitsubishi-tv.com for more information on RS-232C control.

CAUTION: To assure continued FCC compliance, we recommend using a shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores at each end, when using the MonitorLink/DVI input.

IMPORTANT

This connection supports copy protection (HDCP). Some devices require connecting to an analog input first, in order to view on-screen menus and select DVI as the output. Please review your equipment instructions for DVI connectivity and compatibility.

How Connections Affect the PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)

To see a picture in the PIP or POP, you may need to select an input source. If the only input connected is ANT-A, then both the main picture and the PIP/POP will be from that input source. If other video equipment is connected, you may be able to view these input sources as the PIP/POP. When connecting your new Mitsubishi TV, it is important to understand which main picture and PIP/POP input sources can and cannot be used together. The table on this page shows which inputs can and cannot be used together and the limitations they may have. If you press the INFO button it will display the current Input, signal (480i, 480p, or 1080i), format, time, day and sleep time.

See Operation of PIP and POP, page 62, for operating instructions.

Operation of PIP and POP

Picture-In-Picture (PIP) and Picture-Outside-Picture (POP) features allow you to view

Programming in different ways. While watching the main screen, you can display programs from other channels and other inputs. To see which inputs can and cannot be used together, see How Connections Affect the PIP and POP, page 22. You can display large and small PIPs, side-by-side pictures, three POPs, or nine POPs.

Activating the PIP and POP

Press PIP/POP to choose a display format. Each time the PIP/POP button is pressed on the TV remote control (within 3 seconds of each other), the PIP/POP cycles through the following display options.

1. POP: side-by-side pictures
2. POP: three POPs
3. POP: nine POPs
4. PIP: large PIP
5. PIP: small PIP

To turn PIP/POP Off, wait at least 10 seconds, and press PIP/POP. The next time you activate PIP/POP, the last used PIP/POP format will be displayed first.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Warning: Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns.

Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern and reduce the initial contrast level. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, digital TV tuner/converter boxes and karaoke machines.

Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:

Letterbox top/bottom black bars

Shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.

Side bar images

Solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.

News and stock-market report bars

Ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.

Shopping channel logos & pricing displays

Bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.

Video game patterns and scoreboards

Bright station logos

Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

Online (Internet) websites

Or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images, including digital photos or computer applications/programs.

Closed Captioning

Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather than a black or a bright color if you frequently use closed captioning.

WARNING:

Do not display the same stationary images on the screen for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in one week. Examples of stationary images are letterbox top/bottom bars from DVD or other video sources, side bars when showing standard TV pictures on widescreen TV's, news and stock market reports, video game patterns, station logos, black or bright closed caption backgrounds, web sites, or stationary computer images. Such patterns can unevenly age the picture tubes causing permanent damage to the TV. Please see pages 6, 12 or 30 for a more detailed explanation.

ADVANCED FEATURES Menu: CONVERGENCE

CONVERGENCE Menu

(Figure 47)

Your Mitsubishi TV has three picture tubes which need to be aligned to properly converge the projected light beams on the screen. Each picture tube projects a single color of red, blue or green.

During production, your TV was carefully adjusted to properly align these colors. However, moving the TV, the TV's location in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles, and the passage of time can cause these adjustments to change.

As a special feature, you have the ability to adjust the red and blue light beams in reference to the fixed green light beam. This process is called convergence. There are two separate memories for convergence. One, for SD 480i/480p signals; the other for HD 1080i signals. SD convergence should be adjusted while watching an SD source and HD convergence should be adjusted while watching an HD source.

The TV should be fully warmed up before adjusting Convergence. Turn the TV On and wait at least 30 minutes before starting adjustments.

Convergence Screen

(Figure 48)

When the Red and Blue crosshairs are properly converged, the center-screen crosshairs will appear white. You can use ▲,▼, of to move the Red and Blue crosshairs. Press VIDEO to switch between Red and Blue. Press AUDIO for the Advanced Convergence screen.

IMPORTANT

The convergence screen will timeout if no adjustments are made within a couple of minutes. If the screen does timeout, your adjustments will be saved. Pressing the CANCEL button will reset the convergence settings.

Advanced Convergence

(Figure 49)

After adjusting the Red Convergence and Blue Convergence, you can fine-tune your TV by adjusting the Red and Blue convergence at 64 individual points. Move the flashing bracket to a position needing adjustment by pressing ▲, ▼, ◀ or ▶.

Audio Settings

→ Bass

Enhances or reduces low frequency sound.

Treble

Enhances or reduces high frequency sound.

Balance

Adjusts the level of sound between the left and right speakers.

Surround

Creates simulated stereo and surround effects. Your choices are:

• Off: No surround effects. Use this setting when using an A/V receiver with Dolby™ Pro Logic Surround, or Dolby™ Digital Surround.
• Simulated Stereo: Your TV will create a simulated stereo effect when watching a non-stereo program.
• Surround Sound: Your TV will create a simulated surround effect when watching a stereo program.

Listen to (for Ant-A and Ant-B)

Determines how your TV will receive a broadcast audio signal and play back the sound you hear. Your choices are:

• Stereo: Default setting. The TV will play stereo broadcasts in stereo and mono broadcasts in mono. The word “Stereo” will be displayed when you tune to a channel broadcasting stereo.
• SAP (Second Audio Program): Additional monaural soundtrack that you cannot hear during normal TV viewing. The SAP signal might be related to the program you are watching, such as a soundtrack in a foreign language, or unrelated to the program you are watching such as a weather report. If a SAP signal is broadcast, the letters “SAP” will be displayed when you tune to the channel.

- Mono: Reduces background noise and should be used when receiving a weak stereo audio signal. All audio will be played mono with this setting.

Listen to (for INPUTs)

Is not available.

Level Sound

Automatically equalizes the volume level of programs containing significant level differences from one segment to another (for example, regular programming to commercials). To receive the best fidelity with music programs, you can turn this setting to Off.

Note: A slider will display on-screen for each setting. The slider has a numeric value, where 63 is the maximum, the mid-range is 31 and the minimum setting is 0.

AUDIO/VIDEO Setting Descriptions: Video

Video Settings

A compressed (non-HD) video signal may cause what appears to be a “blurry”, “out of focus” or “fuzzy” picture on a widescreen TV. This is not a malfunction of the TV, but a result of the compressed signal that is sent by cable or satellite. To re-adjust the picture, try the following:

• Adjust your video settings (specifically sharpness) for optimal picture performance.
• Use the Convergence Menu (page 53) to properly align the TV.
• Change the format size (pages 60-61).

Contrast

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.

→ Brightness

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

Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

→ Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

Tint

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

Color Temp (Color Temperature)

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

- Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images will 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. The Low 6500K represents the 6500K industry standard for NTSC (non-DTV) pictures.

• Medium: White images will be balanced between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

Video Noise

Reduces minor noise (graininess) in the broadcast or input signal. This function operates only in 480i mode.

→ Film Mode (Automatic)

Video media uses a video camera created at 30 frames per second. Film media uses a film camera created at 24 frames per second. Examples of video media are live TV broadcast such as news, special events, or video taped programs. Examples of film media are motion pictures, made-for-TV movies, and many prime time programs. Filmed media is converted by the broadcaster or home video company to 30 frames per second to match TV or video standards. This conversion can leave subtle “picture artifacts” or conversion errors.

The settings are On and Off. If you select On, the system automatically detects if the signal source is Film and corrects for conversion errors. If you select Off, the system will never correct for conversion errors. This function operates only in 480i mode.

Note: A slider will display on-screen for each setting. The slider has a numeric value, where 63 is the maximum, the mid-range is 31 and the minimum setting is 0.

Note: For optimal picture performance, it is recommended that you adjust your video settings (specifically contrast and brightness) during initial setup. Certain factors will affect your personal preferences, including room lighting, glare reflections and viewing angles/distance. This also slows phosphor aging. If glare or reflections affect your viewing on a continual basis, you may want to remove the Diamond Shield (please refer to page 69).

Appendix D: Cleaning and Service

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 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 [phone]

Cloth speaker grills:

- Lightly brush with a soft brush cloth, or lint brush.

IMPORTANT

Do not use any kind of abrasive or liquid Cleaner on the surface of the TV screen or Diamond Shield.

- If necessary, you can vacuum using the brush and hose attachments of your vacuum cleaner. Do not use the beater brush section on the grill cloth.

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 with ammonia, bleach, alcohol, benzine, 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.

Service

If you are unable to correct a problem with your TV, consult your Mitsubishi dealer or a Mitsubishi Authorized Warranty Service Center.

• DO NOT adjust any controls other than those described in the Owner's Guide.
• DO NOT remove the protective back cover of your TV.

Menus not described and shown in this Owner's Guide are designed for factory use and for Authorized Service Personnel. Damage caused to the TV by non-authorized changes or changes to those menus made by non-authorized persons are not covered under warranty.

Diamond Shield, Molding Clip Removal

Follow the steps below to install and remove the Diamond Shield.

Installation:

A. Begin by inserting the shield, sliding it into the channels, starting at the bottom. Gently bow the Diamond Shield toward you and insert the Diamond Shield into the top channel.
B. Install the left and right molding clips by pressing them into the opening starting at a corner. Do not force the clip. The clip will slide into place. This completes the Diamond Shield installation.

The Diamond Shield protects the actual television (lenticular) screen, however it can be removed to reduce glare or background reflections.

Removal:

To remove the Diamond Shield, reverse the order of the above procedure.

WARNING

Sharp edges! Always wear gloves to handle, lift and install the Diamond Shield and molding clips. Sharp objects (such as tools, hand jewelry and fingernails) may scratch or damage the Diamond Shield. Use caution when removing or installing.

Mitsubishi recommends using a flat, plastic card (such as a credit card) to remove the molding clips. Store the Diamond Shield in a safe place to prevent damage.

Damage caused to the TV by non-authorized changes or actions are not covered under warranty. The Limited Warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation or removal of the Diamond Shield.

IMPORTANT

The Diamond Shield on the WT-42315 is not designed to be removed by the customer.

Cabinet Separation for WS-65315 and WS-65315A

This TV is very heavy! Exercise extreme care when moving TV as foreign material may become embedded in the castor wheels which could damage wood or other delicate flooring.

For Mitsubishi Dealers and Service Personnel ONLY

This Mitsubishi projection television cabinet has been assembled in two pieces. These pieces may be separated to allow for easier delivery and setup. The instructions below show how to safely separate and reattach the cabinet.

IMPORTANT

• This projection television weighs over 320 pounds and has many sensitive components.
• Any dismantling procedure should be done by authorized Mitsubishi Dealers or Service Personnel ONLY.

The following operations should be performed by two

1. Remove the decorative Plastic covers (2) on each side of the cabinet and then remove the exposed screws (2) on each side.
2. Remove the Speaker grille by pulling it straight off the cab
3. Disconnect the connector (ZF).
4. Carefully lift the Cabinet-Top straight up until the brackets clear from the Cabinet-Bottom. DO NOT use the Screen Frame Bottom when lifting the Cabinet-Top.
5. Carefully place the Cabinet-Top on to the floor.
6. After moving and positioning the Cabinet-Bottom in its desired location, reverse the procedure and mount the Cabinet-Top on the Cabinet-Bottom. Be sure you align the brackets properly. Keep fingers clear of all joints! Reconnect the connector, replace the speaker grille, screws and decorative plastic covers.

Terminal Cover Ventilation for Model WT-42315

At Least 2" (Inches) Away from Wall

Stand Requirement

CAUTION: This PTV for use only with Mitsubishi stand MB-42413. Use with other stands may result in instability causing possible injury.

Air Circulation Tip

When considering the location or position of your TV, we recommend you place it at least 2" (inches) away from the wall. Like most electrical equipment and appliances, better air circulation allows your television to run cooler, assuring a long, trouble-free life.

Side Panel for Input Terminal

Included in the accessories bag is the side panel to cover the input terminals, located on the bottom right of your TV. See diagram. Follow the steps below to attach or remove this side panel:

1. Remove the side panel from the accessories plastic bag attached to the back of your TV.
2. Route all of the cable downward so the cover can close over them.
3. Position the three tabs directly opposite the three slots (see diagram) and gently push toward the front of the TV.
4. Slide the two push tabs into the slots on the other side of the terminals until both tabs snap into place.

Result: The side panel neatly covers the input jacks.

Reverse these steps to remove the side panel from the input terminal.
