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. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

13. Overloading

14. Object and Liquid Entry
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.

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 may leave a subtle but permanent ghost image. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. 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 may cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.

The Mitsubishi Home Theater IR System Control is a special feature that makes it easier to use your TV with a Mitsubishi digital A/V receiver. Once your equipment is properly connected and set up, your TV and Mitsubishi digital A/V receiver will change inputs together, to match high resolution pictures with the proper surround sound. See How Connections Affect the System 4 Home Theater IR Control, Pages 14-15, for installation instructions. When you change inputs on your TV to watch different video products, your TV will send signals via the infrared emitter to your Mitsubishi digital A/V receiver and will also change inputs to hear the sound from that product. You will automatically hear the high quality digital surround sound from digital products like your DTV receiver and DVD, and high quality analog stereo or surround sound from non-digital products like your VCR.

However, Anamorphic DVDs that have the 2.35:1 aspect ratio still display black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, while narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Expand (480i / 480p)- enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at the top and bottom. The Expand format is useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom bars of non-Anamorphic DVDs or to correct narrow 4:3 images that have been stretched in the Standard format. Note: This format is not available in the 1080i format. Expand (1080i) - enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful to remove or reduce black side bars on HD broadcasts of 4:3 images with black bars (See page 63). Zoom - enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at each side, top and bottom. The Zoom format is useful to remove or reduce the black top and bottom bars on Anamorphic DVDs with 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal. Stretched - is the default format for ANT-A and Ant-B, and Inputs 1-3. The Stretched format stretches narrow 4:3 images across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than the sides. The Stretched format allows the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen, however, there is less distortion in the center than in the sides. Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal. Narrow format displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape and adds stationary gray side bars to fill the screen. Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal. IMPORTANT: You can find aspect ratios on the back of most DVD covers. Also, Anamorphic DVDs are usually marked Anamorphic or Enhanced for 16:9 TVs.
Caution should be observed when using the Narrow format due to the stationary gray side bars. Please see pages 23 or 51 for guidelines concerning stationary images.

Appendix A: Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
Bypassing the V-Chip Lock
After you set the lock, you need your passcode to view a V-Chip locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the lock, or enter the V-Chip lock menus. If you forget your passcode, you can view the locked TV without entering your passcode. This is done by pressing the number 9 and QV buttons on the remote TV control at the same time, when your password is requested. This process temporarily unlocks the TV. When entering the V-Chip Lock menu, this process deletes your old passcode and prompts you to enter a new passcode.
Lock Bypass Instructions Have Been Filed for Future Reference
Cut along the dotted line and file bypass instructions in a safe place for future reference.
When changing or deleting your passcode, you must use the remote control included with this TV. You cannot use a Mitsubishi remote control from another component or a universal remote.
Appendix B: High Definition Input Connection Compatibility
These inputs are compatible with most standard DVD and DTV signals with component video outputs. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV 480i, 480p, and HDTV 1080i. All other DTV signals, such as 720p, need to be converted by the DTV receiver to one of the compatible signal types. Please check the DTV receiver specifications before connecting.
Component-1 and Component-2 Inputs
Input Levels with Component Video
Y Pb Pr =1.0Vp-p (includes sync) 75ohms =700mVp-p, 75ohms (can also receive signals from outputs labeled B- Y and Cb) =700mVp-p, 75ohms (can also receive signals from outputs labeled R-Y and Cr)
These inputs are compatible with most standard DVD and DTV signals with component video outputs. Compatible DTV signals are SDTV 480i, 480p, and HDTV 1080i. All other DTV signals, such as 720p, need to be converted by the DTV receiver to one of the compatible signal types. Please check the DTV receiver specifications before connecting. This input is also compatible with some DTV receivers using RGB with sync on green or RGB with separate H and V sync. Industry standards for DTV RGB signals systems, synchronization, timing, and signal strengths are not currently established. These inputs will not be compatible with all DTV receivers that offer RGB. If your DTV receiver offers both DTV component video signals and DTV RGB signals, Mitsubishi suggests you use the DTV component video signals. Please check the DTV receiver specifications before connecting.
