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 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 periods 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.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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

Chapter . . .
Warning: Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen for extended
periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is
NOT covered by your warranty.
The normal use of a TV should include a
mixture of TV picture types. The most
frequently used picture types should fill
the screen with constantly moving images
rather than stationary images or patterns.
Displaying the same stationary patterns over
extended periods of time or displaying the
same stationary pattern frequently can leave
subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid
this, mix your viewing pattern and reduce the
initial contrast level. Do not show the same
stationary image for more than 15% of your
total TV viewing in any given week. Display
constantly moving and changing images that
fill the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the
image to the screen. All picture tubes age with
use. As they age, their light output is gradually
reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen
with constantly changing images. Under
these conditions, picture tubes age at an even
rate across the entire screen. This maintains
a TV picture that is evenly bright over the
whole screen. Stationary images or images
that only partially fill the screen (leaving black
or colored bars to fill the screen), when used
over extended periods of time or when viewed
repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the
phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the
stationary images in the picture.
Still or stationary images may be received from
broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels,
DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line
services, web/Internet searching devices, video
games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes.
Examples of these types of images can be, but
are not limited to the following:
Letterbox top/bottom black bars:
shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen
when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on
a standard (4:3) TV.
Side bar images:
solid bars shown on each side of an image
when watching a standard (4:3) program on a
widescreen (16:9) TV.
News and stock-market report bars:
ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.
Shopping channel logos & pricing displays:
bright graphics that are shown constantly or
repeatedly in the same location.
Video game patterns and scoreboards
Bright station logos:
moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely
to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
Online (Internet) websites:
or any other stationary or repetitive computer
style images, including digital photos.
Closed Captioning
Mitsubishi recommends using a gray
background rather than a black or a bright
color if you frequently use closed captioning.

Connecting a DTV Receiver
DTV Connectors and Adaptors
(Figure 11)
The TV back panel has five RCA-type connectors for
the DTV connection. The back panel of your DTV
receiver may use RCA-type connectors or BNC-type
connectors. If your DTV receiver comes with BNC
type connections, you will need to purchase BNC to
RCA adaptors to connect the TV to the DTV receiver.
These adaptors should be available at most electronic
supply stores.
DTV Receiver with Component
Video Connections (Recommended)
(Figure 12)
1. Connect the outside antenna cable, or satellite to
ANT or SATELLITE IN on the DTV receiver
(see your DTV receiver owner’s guide for
instructions and cable compatibility).
2. If your DTV receiver has a built-in terrestrial tuner,
connect the incoming terrestrial antenna to ANT
on the DTV receiver. If your DTV receiver does
not have a built-in terrestrial tuner, this TV will
only be able to provide an analog signal through
Ant-A on the TV back panel.
3. Connect the RCA-type cables from the DTV
receiver outputs to DTV INPUT Y/Pb/Pr on the
TV back panel. You may need to set the DTV
Input Assignment to Y/Pb/Pr (see page 35).
4. Connect the L (left) and R (right) audio cables
from the DTV receiver to DTV AUDIO on the
TV back panel.
5. To utilize the benefits of a digital A/V receiver,
connect your DTV receiver’s digital audio out
to a digital input on your digital A/V receiver.
Component (1 and 2) may also be used for 1080i
components.
See Appendix B, page 65 for component video
signal compatibility information.
For digital audio connections, see your DTV
receiver and A/V receiver Owner’s Guides.
