1. Press TV MENU.
2. When the menu appears, press the following buttons in sequence:
0, QV, 0
Standby Fan
When the TV is off, you may hear a low-power standby fan. This is normal operation. The fan cools advanced circuitry
in this TV that must continue to operate even when the TV is turned off.
Temporary Residual Images
Prolonged display of stationary images on your TV may cause faint residual “ghost” images to be visible when viewing
other programs. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY. The residual images will disappear within days or weeks. Most TV
and DVD programming is of generally uniform brightness and will not produce this effect.
To prevent the appearance of residual images:
• Avoid display of stationary images for extended 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 definition on page 37)
∙ Top and bottom bars displayed with letterbox video (see definition on page 37)
10 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 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 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 11
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 personnel.
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.

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:
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 broadcasts
(received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable program-
ming.
High-Definition Video Inputs
Two Component Video Inputs
This television has two component video inputs, also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs. These inputs receive standard analog
video formats of 480i (standard analog TV), 480p (progressive-scan signals), and 720p and 1080i high-definition
signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite
receivers.
Two HDMI Inputs
This television also has two HDMI™ inputs that accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i video signals plus PCM
digital stereo signals. Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept compatible DVI 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.
LCD Light Engine
Mitsubishi’s exclusive LCD Light engine features superior corner focus and SmartShutter™ dynamic aperture system.
SmartShutter™
SmartShutter™ technology displays deep blacks and improved dark scene detail. It does this by reducing light output
during dark scenes without adversely affecting other picture characteristics.
QuickMotion™
High-speed LCD drive reduces response time and displays sharp detail even during fast-moving scenes.
Plush720p™
Upconverts lower-quality video signals to deliver maximum image clarity from every source.

4. DVI Analog Audio
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 DVD player. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable, thus
requiring a separate audio input.
5. 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 and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by
the TV. If you have an analog rather than 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. Digital video from digital
channels is downconverted to analog video. Audio alone is output when a COMPONENT 1 or 2 or HDMI 1 or 2
input is selected for recording.
6. Service Port
This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only or for authorized software updates.
7. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861-compliant devices such as high-definition cable boxes, satellite
receivers, or DVD players. 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 HDMI input to connect a DVI device, use the DVI Analog Audio inputs on your TV to receive left and
right stereo audio from the DVI device.
This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.
8. 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 should be the only audio connection between the TV and the A/V receiver.

Most setups require either a coaxial digital audio cable or
stereo audio cables. In some circumstances, you may need to
connect both digital audio and stereo audio.
A. To connect an analog A/V receiver:
Connect a set of stereo audio cables from AUDIO
OUTPUT on the TV back panel to the TV AUDIO
INPUT on the back of the A/V receiver. Connect the
red cable to the R (right) channel and the white cable
to the L (left) channel.
The TV converts digital audio from digital channels to
analog audio.
B. To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby®
Digital surround sound:
Connect one end of a coaxial digital audio cable to
DIGITAL AUDIO on the back of the TV. Connect the
other end to the COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT on the
back of the A/V receiver.
The TV converts analog audio from analog channels
or devices to PCM digital stereo audio.

TV Display Formats
This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This
shape reflects the new types of images available from
HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style
narrow-screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will
encounter. While there will never be a perfect solution for
displaying a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi
offers several display formats from which to choose.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through
the available display formats. The last-used format for
each device is used when you return to that device.
Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP.
Side-by-Side is only available in Standard and
Expand formats.

with a 4:3 aspect ratio. To fit the 16:9 format required
for high-definition broadcast, the broadcaster may fill the
space by either expanding the picture or by adding side
bars.
Format Definitions
Standard: This is the full-screen format. HDTV signals
use this format. This format is useful for displaying
Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect
ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio
are displayed with black bars at the top and bottom, but
show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images
are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all
signals.
Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, crop-
ping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This is
useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of
non-anamorphic DVD images. Available for analog 480i,
480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.
Zoom: This enlarges the picture, cropping off some of
the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful
for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars
on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available
for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image
across the screen; there is less stretch in the center
than at the sides, however. This allows the entire narrow
image to be displayed across the screen with less distor-
tion than is seen in the Standard format. Available for
analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize
distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop
off portions of the top and bottom. When no PIP is dis-
played, you can press ADJUST up or down to vertically
adjust the position of the picture. Available for analog
480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) images in their
original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill
the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3
signals only.
Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of
the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful
to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow
images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital
broadcast. Available for analog 1080i, 720p, digital SD
16:9 and digital HD signals.

For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six dif-
ferent captioning selections or can send analog captions
that are the same as those sent by the analog station.
Each TV station may broadcast only one or two types of
captions or none at all. The TV cannot decode closed
captions received on COMPONENT or HDMI inputs.

V-Chip Signal Information
When provided by the broadcaster, V-Chip ratings can be used to control which programs can be viewed or will be
blocked. When V-Chip ratings are sent, you will see the ratings when you change the channel or when you press the
INFO button on the remote control. Both TV and Movie ratings will display. TV ratings apply to programs and movies
developed for TV and may have supplemental blocking by content categories. Movie ratings use MPAA ratings for
movies released in theaters.
V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS:
1. V-Chip is not effective for programs viewed on devices connected to component inputs or HDMI. Many of these
devices, however, have their own parental control systems.
2. Videotapes, laser discs and DVDs may not contain V-Chip rating signals. If they don’t contain the V-Chip signal,
V-Chip cannot block the program or movie.
3. Broadcasters are not currently required to include V-Chip rating signals at this time. If the broadcaster does not
include the V-Chip rating signal, V-Chip cannot block the program.
IMPORTANT
If you elect to block programs that carry the
V-Chip rating “Programs Not Rated,” you
may block news or emergency bulletins,
when “None” or “NR” Not Rated V-Chip
rating is included. Use care when blocking
programming that is not rated.

Video Settings
Press the VIDEO key repeatedly to cycle through the
Video options to the one you want to change. Use
ADJUST to change settings.
A slider displays on screen for most settings. When the
slider is displayed, it represents a numeric value, with
63 as the maximum, 31 as the mid-point, and 0 as the

Bright/Natural Modes
Before adjusting the other video settings, cycle through
the video settings and set the mode to either Bright or
Natural. Bright and Natural modes are available for some
settings and allow you to optimize the image for a brighter
(daytime) or dimmer (nighttime) viewing environment.
Your TV remembers two independent Contrast, Bright-
ness, and Color Temperature settings, one for each of the
two modes. Whenever you change settings for Contrast,
Brightness, or Color Temperature, first check which of the
two modes (Bright/Natural) is active.
◊ Contrast (Bright/Natural)
Provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level.
Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker

This adjustment is an average and can vary due
to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness,
and the TV’s age. Natural/Color Temp at the low
setting displays video at the 6500K industry stan-
dard for NTSC pictures.
• High: White images have a cool cast to them.
This setting may provide the most realistic picture
under bright lighting.
◊ PerfectColor™
Allows adjustment of any or all of six colors (Magenta,
Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan and Blue) to create color
balance. When you select PerfectColor and press
ENTER, you can select either automatic or manual
