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 seri-
ous injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of
the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use mounting accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to
protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed by placing the TV on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator or heat register. If the TV is to be
placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.
8. Power Source
This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
9. Grounding or Polarization
This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
10. Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the TV.
11. Lightning
For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, continued
12. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
13. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
14. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the TV.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
16. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
(c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
(d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
(e) If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
(f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
18. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
19. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repair to the TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.
20. Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

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 Digital Light Processing™ technology. 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 in the standard video scanning rates of
480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. It is also able to accept signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480) through XGA
(1024 x 768). When using a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also able to accept the
custom PC resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). All signals will be converted to 720p for final display.
TV Disc Internal Personal Video Recorder (PVR)
TV Disc is an internal 120GB high definition hard disk drive recorder (also called a personal video recorder or
PVR). It is able to record digital and analog programs received from CableCARD™ channels, Antenna 1, Antenna
2, devices connected to Input 1, 2, 3 or IEEE 1394 devices. This exciting feature may record as much as 12 hours of
high definition TV programming and includes live TV pause with instant replay. Now you can record a high definition
program and watch it later without any picture quality loss and without a VCR. Recordings on the TV Disc can be
sent by IEEE 1394 to D-VHS VCRs or to other IEEE 1394 compatible TVs. When recording analog programs, TV Disc
will even use Dolby Digital Record to convert the analog stereo to high quality digital stereo compatible with Dolby
Digital decoding surround receivers.
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.
Media Cards
You can display a slideshow of your favorite JPEG pictures or listen to MP3 or WMA audio selections that have been
recorded on compatible media cards.

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.
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. 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.
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-232C 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, except when using the TV Disc, which converts
analog audio to digital. 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.

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.
The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V receiver.
Chart 1 shows TV inputs.
Chart 2 shows the A/V receiver inputs used by A/V receiver models already known by NetCommand.

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.
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.
Please call XYZ Cable

To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming
cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.
IMPORTANT
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 programs 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 capable 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 19 for instructions on how to insert
the CableCARD.
