Operating Notes
Internal Fans
Internal cooling fans maintain proper operating tempera-
tures inside the TV. It is normal to hear the fans when you
first turn on the TV, during quiet scenes while viewing the
TV, and for a short time after turning off the TV.
TV Guide On Screen Access Requirements
TV Guide On Screen®listings are not provided by
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. Opera-
tion of TV Guide On Screen requires over-the-air or
cable access to stations carrying TV Guide On Screen
program listings. If listings are not available in your area
or become discontinued by the local provider, TV Guide
On Screen will not operate. TV Guide On Screen does
not provide program listings for satellite TV systems.
Cleaning Recommendations
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.
Ocasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake
grilles on the back and sides of the TV. Clean using a
vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
Glossy Surfaces
Use the soft cleaning cloth supplied with the TV.
• Clean the cloth before each use by shaking or
brushing to remove any residual dirt particles.
• Gently wipe down the glossy surfaces of your TV with
the soft cloth. Do not apply pressure while wiping.
• If necessary, lightly dampen the soft cloth with
water. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners.
• Wash the soft cloth by hand or machine. Use only
mild soap.
Top and Sides of the TV (non-glossy surfaces)
• 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 deter-
gent, 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
•Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping
gently in an up and down motion.
• Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of
the screen.
• Do not allow liquid to drip down the screen, as
some liquid may enter the TV through the gap
between the screen and screen frame.
• You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part
number CLEANER-VSS, by calling [phone].
General Cleaning Precautions
• 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 containing ammonia,
bleach, alcohol, benzene, 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.

Important Information About Your TV
Installation Notes
Stand Requirement
Mitsubishi does not design, manufacture or sell match-
ing bases for 833 series model televisions (WD-57833,
WD-65833, WD-73833). When selecting a stand, base
or other furniture to support the TV, please make sure it
is designed with the appropriate dimensions for stabil-
ity and to support the TV’s total weight as well as the
weight of any additional equipment you plan to store.
Custom cabinet installation must allow for proper
air circulation around the television.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: THIS
REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM
INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE
NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER
GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT
THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE
GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE
TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.
TV Software
Do not attempt to update the software of this TV with
software or USB drives not provided by or authorized by
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. Non-autho-
rized software may damage the TV and will not be covered
by the warranty.

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, in a wet basement, 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, adult or pet 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. This is a safety feature. 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.
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, con-
nection 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 techni-
cian 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.

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 television has
many special features that make it the perfect center of
your home entertainment system, including:
1080p High-Definition DLP Display System
Your Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital
Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection TVs
to create the picture you see on screen. All images
are displayed at 1080p. The TV uses Plush 1080p®to
convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.
The TV can also accept 1080p original signals and
maintain them at 1080p through all processing until
displayed.
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.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV
tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broad-
casts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled
digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled
HDTV cable programming.
High-Definition Video Inputs
Component Video Inputs. Also called Y/Pb/Pr
inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video
formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-defini-
tion signals. This provides a high level of flexibility
when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable
boxes, and satellite receivers.
HDMI 1.3 Inputs. These inputs accept digital 480i,
480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus
PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI™ inputs can
also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions.
These inputs are compatible with Deep Color and
x.v.Color.
Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept
compatible digital 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.
IEEE 1394 Digital Interfaces that receive and
send compressed digital signals, including high-
definition signals, along with digital audio and
control signals between devices such as the TV, a
digital cable box, an A/V disc, and a D-VHS digital
video recorder.
Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing 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.
Home Theater Control
NetCommand with IR Learning
Your Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking
that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products
with new and future digital products. NetCommand®
supports IR (infrared) control of products such as
VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receiv-
ers. NetCommand can “learn” remote control signals
directly from many devices, allowing you to create a
customized NetCommand-controlled home-theater
system.

pliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD
player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p video formats.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables
to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed cat-
egory 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color
and x.v.Color.
These inputs can also accept digital 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 DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT on the TV to
receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals. See chapter 2, “TV
Setup” and Appendix A for additional information on PC
compatibility.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
These inputs are certified for proper
interoperability with other products certified by Simplay™.
HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and
Category 2 versions.
• Category 2 Cables. Newer, HDMI 1.3-com-
pliant DVD players, video games, and set-top
boxes require Category 2 cables. Use category
2 cables for these high-speed HD signals car-
rying extended color encodings (i.e., 30 or more
bits, also called Deep Color). Category 2 cables
are also suitable for standard HDTV signals.
• Category 1 Cables. Unmarked cables are
category 1 cables and are suitable for standard
HDTV signals.
8. AVR AUDIO OUTPUT
Use AVR AUDIO OUTPUT to send analog audio of the
program currently shown on the screen to an A/V sur-
round sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio
from digital channels and HDMI devices is converted to
analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V receiver
or stereo system, this is the only audio connection
needed between it and the TV.

specifications for signal compatibility.
11. RECORD 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. To make recordings
from this output, the TV must be in normal full-
screen mode rather than in Split Screen mode.
• You can watch another device while recording,
but not another channel.
• 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.

IMPORTANT
HDMI and Audio Signals
• Digital Surround Sound: The TV’s HDMI
inputs can receive digital stereo audio
signals only. To hear digital surround
sound from an HDMI device, connect the
device’s digital audio output directly to your
A/V receiver. See the Owner’s Guides for
those devices for instructions.
• A/V Receiver with HDMI. If your A/V
receiver has an HDMI input, use the audio
connections described in “A/V Receiver
(Sound System)” instead.

3. TV Connections 19
Wall Outlet Cable (no cable box)
It is very important to connect the incoming cable for
your primary viewing source to ANT 1/MAIN .
1. Connect the primary incoming coaxial lead cable to
ANT 1/MAIN on the TV back panel.

Figure 5. Connecting separate UHF and VHF Antennas
Mitsubishi strongly recommends you avoid using
antennas with flat twin leads. Flat twin lead
antenna wires are subject to interference which
may adversely affect the performance of the TV.
We recommend using coaxial antenna cable.
Antenna with a Single Lead

20 3. TV Connections
DVI Video Device (Cable Box, Satellite
Receiver, DVD Player, or Other Device)
Connect DVI devices (digital only) to the TV’s HDMI
input jacks.
Analog stereo audio cables and a DVI-to-HDMI cable or
DVI/HDMI adapter and HDMI cable are required.
1. Connect the DVI-to-HDMI cable (recommended) or
HDMI cable with DVI/HDMI adapter from the DVI
device’s back panel to the TV’s HDMI jack.
Note: If you are using a DVI/HDMI adapter, it is impor-
tant to connect the adapter to the DVI device for
best performance.
2. Connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO OUT
on the DVI device back panel to the DVI/PC AUDIO
INPUT on the TV back panel. Connect the red
cable to the R jack and the white cable to the L
(MONO) jack.
Note: The HDMI connection supports copy protection
(HDCP).
Some devices require connecting to an analog
input first, in order to view on-screen menus
and to select DVI as the ouput. Please review
your equipment instructions for DVI connectivity
and compatibility.
