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 dish-washing detergent, to the water used to
moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moist-
ened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-
abrasive cloth.
LCD Screen Cleaning
• DO NOT use any liquid to clean the screen. Only
use a dry, soft cloth.
• Wipe the screen gently with an up and down motion.

tions marked on the television.
1. Read, Retain and Follow All Instructions
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV. Retain the safety and operating instructions
for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions.
2. Heed Warnings
Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions.
3. Cleaning
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid, abrasive or aerosol cleaners. Cleaners
can permanently damage the cabinet and screen. Use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning.
4. Attachments and Equipment
Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer as such additions may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury.
5. Water and Moisture
Do not use the TV where contact with or immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath tubs, wash
bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc.
6. Accessories
Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The TV may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
TV. Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to
protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed by placing the TV on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator or heat register. If the TV is to
be placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions have been adhered to.
8. Power Source
This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
9. Grounding or Polarization
This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
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 pro-
tection 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 dis-
charge 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 person-
nel.
17. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following condi-
tions:
(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.

Package Contents
Please take a moment to review the following list of items
to ensure that you have received everything.
Special Features of Your TV
Your new high-definition widescreen LCD television has
many special features that make it the perfect center of
your home entertainment system, including:
16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your
home. View pictures as film directors intended them.
Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game con-
soles support this widescreen format.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV
tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts
(received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable
broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable pro-
gramming.
Full Specturm Color™
(LT-46231 Model only)
Mitsubishi’s Full Spectrum Color™ results in 25% more
color than standard LCD. Reds and yellows become
more vivid and there are more available shades of green,
cyan and blue. The result is a more vivid and more realis-
tic image.
High-Definition Video Inputs
Three Component Video Inputs, also called Y/Pb/Pr
inputs. These inputs receive standard analog video
formats of 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition
signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when
connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and
satellite receivers.
Two HDMI Inputs that accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p,
1080i and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital stereo
signals. Used with an adapter, these inputs also
accept compatible DVI video signals. HDMI inputs
provide additional high-performance, high-definition
connections for maximum flexibility in your choice of
home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP
copy-protection compatible.
Two IEEE 1394 Digital Interfaces that receive and
send compressed digital signals, including high-defi-
nition signals, along with digital audio and control
signals between devices such as the TV, digital cable
boxes, and D-VHS digital video recorders.
ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input
Sensing
ClearThought® automatically recognizes when you plug in
an input and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV
ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered
Input Selection menu where you can easily find and select
connected devices by name.
Manual and Power Swivel
Both TV models (LT-37132 and LT-46231) allow you to
swivel the TV manually up to 30 degrees from left to right.
In addition, the LT-37132 model has the Power Swivel
feature, which automatically swivels the TV left or right
when you press or on the remote control.
Note: Power Swivel is not available while the TV is i n Split

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play”
digital cable ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s
one-way digital signals with the use of a CableCARD
security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a
traditional cable box to access digital cable programming
(including high definition). Contact your local cable pro-
vider for availability information and service details.
NetCommand® Home Network Control

of networking that can seamlessly integrate selected
older A/V products with new and future digital products.
NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio
Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy protection, and
IR (infrared) control of selected older products, such as
VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
NetCommand can learn remote control signals directly
from many devices, allowing you to create a customized
NetCommand-controlled home-theater system.

air, and CableCARD™ reception. This subscription-free
guide system lists regular, digital, and high-definition

Chapter 1. Television Overview 17
4. AVR OUT
(Audio only)
AVR OUT (AUDIO/VIDEO RECEIVER OUT) L/R jacks
send analog audio of the program currently shown on
the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo
system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire®
(DTVLink/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is con-
verted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V
receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio connec-
tion needed between it and the TV.
5. MONITOR OUTPUT
Use these composite video and left/right audio jacks
to send analog video and audio signals to an external
recording device such as a VCR. The signals from these
jacks are from the program currently being viewed on the
TV screen. To make recordings from this output, the
TV must be in normal full-screen mode rather than in
Split-Screen mode.
• From this output you can record audio and video
signals from ANT 1 , ANT 2 , INPUT 1-3 , and
IEEE 1394 devices.
• Digital signals from
ANT 1 , ANT 2 , and IEEE
1394 devices are converted to analog video and
audio signals.
• Some signals cannot be recorded because of
copy-protection flags in the content.
• Video signals from Component inputs, HDMI inputs,
and PC-DVI inputs are not sent to record output.
6. HDMI/DVI AUDIO
Use these analog audio inputs when connecting DVI
video devices to the TV’s HDMI jacks. Unlike HDMI, DVI
does not carry audio information on the same cable. For
analog audio from a personal computer, use the PC-
DVI AUDIO jacks instead.

7. PC-DVI AUDIO
Use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks in conjunction with the
PC-DVI video input from a personal computer. These
jacks allow you to send left and right analog audio from
your computer to the TV.
8. PC-DVI
Do not connect a TV video source to the PC-DVI input.
PC-DVI is a DVI-I input compatible with both DVI-A
(analog) and DVI-D (digital) signals. Connect your per-
sonal computer’s HDMI, DVI, or VGA video output to this
jack. An adapter or converter cable may be required.
Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. To hear
audio from the computer, connect analog audio cables
from the computer to the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks.
Note: The PC-DVI input is not intended for standard video
from cable boxes, satellite receivers, or DVD players.
9. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format. For PC video, use
the PC-DVI input instead.
Do not connect a computer to either TV HDMI jack.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant
devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
video formats.
These inputs can also accept DVI video inputs. To connect
a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus
analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to
the HDMI/DVI AUDIO inputs on the TV to receive left
and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Pro-
tection) compliant.
These inputs are certified for proper interoper-
ability with other products certified by Simplay™.
10. 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 is the only audio connection needed between the
TV and your A/V receiver.
11. IR Emitter NetCommand®
IR Emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV’s
NetCommand system to control external IR remote con-
trolled analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVDs,
satellite receivers and audio receivers. This system also
coordinates with the TV Guide On Screen® system to
control cable boxes and to activate the record feature of
your VCR.
12. DTVLINK™/IEEE 1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394
digital products by means of a single cable. See chapter
6, “Using IEEE 1394 Devices” for detailed information
regarding IEEE 1394 connections and recording.
13. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service
provider is inserted into this slot. When inserting, ensure
that the top of the card faces in the direction indicated by
CARD TOP .
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD
access cards, use the cable box provided and authorized
by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.

CableCARD™ Technology
CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access
card customized to your account. This card allows your
TV to receive, decode, and unscramble the premium
digital channels included in your cable TV subscription
without the use of a cable box. When you move to a
new cable provider’s area, return the CableCARD to the
original cable provider and get a new card from your new
provider.
Please note that CableCARD is a relatively new technology
and your local cable provider may not currently be offer-
ing this service. As time passes, this system will become
broadly supported by most cable providers.
The CableCARD system is unidirectional, meaning your
cable provider can send updates to the TV, but the TV
cannot send signals back. As a result, certain advanced
and interactive digital cable services, such as requests for
video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a cable
operator’s enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced
television services may require use of a set-top box
instead. For more information, call your local cable opera-
tor.
Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD are
available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be
shared by other products on the network. You may be
unable to record or copy some digital programs, however,
because of copy restrictions set by the content or copy-
right owners.
Using a CableCARD™
Power on the TV and insert the CableCARD into the
CableCARD slot with the top of the card oriented as indi-
cated by CARD TOP . When the initial screen dis-
plays, write down the information that appears and have it
ready when calling your cable provider.
In order to start cable
service for this device, please contact
your cable provider

diagnostic information and do not allow you
to make changes. These screens are mean-
ingful only to your local cable provider.

20 Chapter 1. Television Overview
