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

Special Features
Your new High Definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home
entertainment system, including:
High Definition DLP™ Display System
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments most advanced Digital Light Processing™ technology for
rear projection televisions. This TV is truly a high-performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both stunning
high-definition video images and clear, detailed, high-resolution PC images. Your TV is able to accept video signals
from an antenna or direct cable in standard video scanning rates of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. It is also able
to accept, through the HDMI 2 connection, signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768).
When used with a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also able to accept the custom PC
resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). To connect a PC to HDMI 2, you need a PC video card with DVI or HDMI output. Next
you need to perform NetCommand setup for the HDMI 2 PC input so that the TV knows to apply the correct PC-signal
processing. All of the compatible video and PC signals will be converted to 1080p for final display; some signals will,
however, add black side bars, top and bottom bars, or both to fill the screen, and some signals will display standard
video overscan.
TV Guide On Screen® Interactive Program Guide System
An eight-day on-screen program guide that can be used with cable, over-the-air and CableCARD™ reception. The
subscription-free guide system lists regular, digital and high-definition programming. This system allows multiple
sorting options and easy program recording. Program listings are downloaded while your TV is turned off, so that you
have current program information available every day. Note that when the system is first set up, it may take up to 24
hours to begin to receive TV program listings. It may take one week to receive all eight days of TV program listings.
Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital
signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box
to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability
information and service details.
NetCommand®Home Network Control System
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking to combine selected older products with new and
future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy
protection and IR control of selected older products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes or satellite receivers.
NetCommand includes the ability to learn remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to customize
the NetCommand system in a way that works best for your viewing
16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV
broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.
Memory Card Reader
You can display a slide show of your favorite JPEG pictures or listen to MP3 or WMA audio selections that have been
recorded on compatible memory cards.

16 Chapter 1. Television Overview
TV 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 source.
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
receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.
2. IR EMITTER NetCommand®
IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog
devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVDs, satellite
receivers and audio receivers. This system is also
coordinated with the TV Guide On Screen® system for
the control of cable boxes and to activate the record
feature of your VCR. Either connection can be used for
NetCommand functions.
3. INPUT 1 and 2
(Audio/Video 1 and 2)
Inputs 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.
4. COMPONENT 1, 2, and 3 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 A for signal compatibility.
5. 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, such as DVI output from a personal computer.
6. 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, FireWire® (DTV Link/IEEE 1394) devices and
HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If
you do not have a 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. These signals may not
be the same as those of the program that is currently

being shown on screen. Signals from digital channels
and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog
signals. There is no video signal when copy restrictions
are in effect. Audio alone is output when a Component
input or the HDMI input is selected for recording.
7. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format.
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 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 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.
HDMI 2
HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output
from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate
the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during
initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option
in the Device Setup screen. To do this at any time
afterwards, use the NetCommand Add function.
To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output,
you must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI
Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.
8. DTV Link™/IEEE 1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394
digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks
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 is in Chapter 2,
“Connecting.”
9. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service
provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card
should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP .
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
23 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.
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. In most cases, this should be
the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V
receiver. If you have MP3 audio from memory cards,
however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO
OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
