ing the TV’s features.
If Demo Mode is turned on when you first use the TV:
1. Press MENU .
2. When the Main menu appears with Setup high-
lighted, press ENTER.
3. When the Setup menu opens, press to highlight

periods on this or any other LCD projection TV.
Examples of such images include:
∙ Stationary images that may be part of video
games and web pages
∙ Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video
∙ Side bars displayed with narrow-format video
(see “Narrow” definition on page 35)
∙ Top and bottom bars displayed with letterbox
video (see “Expand” definition on page 35)
• Mix regular TV and video programming with uses
that display stationary images.

General 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 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.
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 grooves of 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 Warnings
• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the venti-
lation 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
DO NOT use any kind of abrasive cleaner
on the surface of the TV screen.

8 Important Information About Your TV
Important Safeguards
Please read the following safeguards for your TV and retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings and instruc-
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 Information About Your TV 9
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.
20. Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other prod-
ucts (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

1. ANT 1/MAIN & ANT 2/AUX (Antenna)
If you are connecting an antenna or direct cable without a
cable box, connect the main antenna or cable source to
ANT 1/MAIN. You can also connect another antenna or
cable source to 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.
2. INPUT 1 & 2
(Audio and Video)
INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 can be used to connect 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 (Composite) VIDEO are both available,
you must choose to connect only one.
Note: Because S-Video provides a better video signal
than Composite Video, use S-Video if available on the
source A/V device.
3. COMPONENT INPUT 1 & 2
(Audio and Video)
Y Pb Pr (Support 480i/480p/720p/1080i video formats)
Use these jacks to connect devices with component video
outputs, such as DVD players, external HDTV receivers, or
compatible video game systems. Please see Appendix B
for signal compatibility.
4. HDMI™ 1 & 2 (Inputs)
(Both Audio and Video in each HDMI jack)
(Support 480i/480p/720p/1080i video formats)
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format. The WD-62530
model has only one HDMI jack.
Do not connect a computer to either of the HDMI jacks .
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant
devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs can also accept DVI inputs. To connect a
DVI device, use an HDMI-to-DVI cable adapter plus analog
audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the
DVI ANALOG AUDIO inputs (#5) on the TV to receive
left and right stereo audio from your DVI device. The WD-
62530 model has only one pair of DVI Analog Audio input
jacks.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
These inputs are certified for proper interoper-
ability with other products certified by Simplay™.

5. DVI ANALOG AUDIO INPUT
Use these analog audio inputs when connecting DVI
devices to the TV’s HDMI jacks. Unlike HDMI, DVI
does not carry audio information on the same cable. The
WD-62530 model has only one pair of L/R DVI analog jacks.
6. AUDIO OUTPUT L/R
These 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 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.
7. 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.
8. RECORD OUTPUT
These Composite and L/R Audio jacks 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 and INPUT 1, 2 and 3.
• Digital signals from ANT 1 and ANT 2 are
converted to analog video and audio signals.
• Some signals cannot be recorded because of
copy-protection flags in the content.

Choosing a Language for Menus
When you first power on the TV, you can select either
English or Spanish for all menus. You can later change
the language through the Setup menu.
Figure 1. The Welcome screen lets you change the menu
language when you first power on the TV.
ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input
Sensing
ClearThought automatically recognizes the devices you
connected to TV inputs. The first time you connect each
device you will be prompted to identify it by selecting
from a pre-set list of device names.
Only the names of input devices currently connected will
appear in the Input Selection Menu. This makes it easy
for you to know which input devices are available for you
to use.
The table below defines how connections on each TV
jack are handled.

2. When the Auto Input Sensing screen opens (figure 2),
you can accept the default name or press to
select from a list of device names (e.g., cable box,
DVD, Satellite, VCR).
Choose a name that will help you when selecting
inputs in the Input Selection menu.
3. Press EXIT to close the screen. If you connected
several devices at the same time, the screen for the
next connection will open.
More About Auto Input Sensing
• You can change the input name at a later time using
the Input Name menu.
• If you disconnect a device and then later connect a
different device to that jack, open the Input Name
menu to update the device name.
• Antenna inputs (
ANT 1/ANT 2), all audio and all
Record Output jacks are never detected.
• Be careful to choose different names for each input.
