The Mitsubishi plasma TV is designed and manufactured to
provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other
than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the
panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean
the panel surface.
The plasma display consists of fine picture elements (cells).
Although Mitsubishi utilizes plasma display panels with more
than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that
do not produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, please
read and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit in a
closed cabinet or shelves. The unit is equipped with cooling
fans. If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there
is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise
and escape. If this happens, turn off the power to the moni-
tor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the moni-
tor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a
cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 min-
utes. If the problem persists, contact your Mitsubishi dealer
for service.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension
cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely
inserted.
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug the unit during electrical storms or if the unit will
not be used over a long period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a seri-
ous risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. Mitsubishi is
not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unquali-
fied persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer
all service to authorized Mitsubishi Service Centers.

Important Information
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will
shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire
hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal
objects. In case of an accident, unplug the unit and have
it serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Service Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recom-
mended to use a trained, authorized Mitsubishi dealer.
7. Only use tabletop stands or wall-mount brackets that are
designed specifically for this product.
8. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize uneven phosphor
aging:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
uneven phosphor aging under certain circumstances.
Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display
of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result
in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions are not
taken. To protect your investment in this Mitsubishi plasma
TV, please adhere to the following guidelines and recom-
mendations for minimizing this type of damage:
*Do not turn off ORBITER.†
*Always enable and use your computer’s, video game or
DVD player screen saver during use with these sources.
*Display a moving image whenever possible.
*Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
*Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous oper-
ation, take the following measures to reduce the likelihood
of uneven phosphor aging:
*Do not turn off ORBITER.†
*Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as pos-
sible without impairing image readability.
*Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
*Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas. Use complementary or pastel colors when-
ever possible.
*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
NOTE:
Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in is not covered by the
warranty.
Contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-332-2119 for other recom-
mended procedures that will best suit your particular appli-
cation needs.
†ORBITER - Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in reduction feature. To minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging/burn-in when
displaying still images, the Mitsubishi PD-4225S offers a built-in feature known as ORBITER. The ORBITER feature inter-
mittently shifts the screen image horizontally and vertically in small increments. This intermittent screen movement is usu-
ally not evident in full motion video. In some instances the ORBITER shift might be evident while displaying static guides or
menus. The default setting for ORBITER is On. Mitsubishi chose this setting to help reduce uneven phosphor aging. Please
do not shut the ORBITER off. For more information regarding ORBITER, see page 34.
Owner’s Manual 7
Important Information
WARNING: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for
extended periods of time. Mix types of pictures shown. Uneven phosphor
aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV pic-
ture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill
the screen with constantly moving images rather than sta-
tionary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary
patterns over extended periods of time, or displaying the
same stationary pattern frequently can leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image. To avoid this, mix your viewing pat-
tern. Do not show the same stationary image for more than
15% of your total TV viewing in any one week. Display con-
stantly moving and changing images that fill the screen
whenever possible.
This plasma TV is a phosphor-based display. As is the case
with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT TV/monitor, for
example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of
a plasma display panel. Normal TV pictures fill the screen
with constantly changing images. Under these conditions,
phosphor-based displays 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 used in plasma displays and can leave subtle
ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.
When using a computer or similar device through a VGA
input, be sure to turn on the Screen Saver feature and set
the activation time to 5 minutes or less. If your computer pro-
gram allows, you should also set your toolbars to the hidden
mode.
Still or stationary images may be received from broadcast-
ers, 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 include, but are not lim-
ited 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.
•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.
•On-line (Internet) web sites: or any other stationary or
repetitive computer style images.
•Closed Caption Backgrounds: When set to black or
bright color.

Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that
instant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat display using this phenomenon.
160° - Wide angle range of vision
Your flat panel plasma TV offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the TV is clear and
visible to viewers anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The 42" screen gives you a movie-theater experience in the comfort of your own home.
Multimedia
Connect your plasma TV to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture fea-
ture allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not
fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The plasma display panel consists of more than one million fine picture elements (cells). Although Mitsubishi utilizes plasma display
panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in reduction feature. To minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging/burn-in when dis-
playing still images, the Mitsubishi PD-4225 offers a built-in feature known as ORBITER. The ORBITER feature inter-
mittently shifts the screen image horizontally and vertically in small increments. This intermittent screen movement is
usually not evident in full motion video. In some instances the ORBITER shift might be evident while displaying static
guides or menus. The default setting for ORBITER is ON. Please do not shut the ORBITER off.
- A frozen still picture from a PC/video game displayed on the screen for prolonged periods will result in a ghost
image remaining; even when you change the image. Avoid allowing a fixed image to remain on the TV's

2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.
3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
4. The signal from the antenna is weak.
5. The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which then appear as sub-
titles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded
programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. It’s possible to caption a
live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly.
Real-time captioning is normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand sys-
tem and computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching lan-
guage skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
•IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by inter-
ference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appli-
ances.
•GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the direct path and the
other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the
antenna may improve reception.
•SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture may be marred by
small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

Using Closed Captions
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting From CC 1 to CC 4, you can
choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal with the captions, while Another mode might show demonstration or pro-
gramming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals because of the following situations.

3. This Plasma Display Panel uses a revolutionary technology, gas plasma, to create the screen image. This technology creates
the image using small dots, or picture elements (pixels). Your Plasma Display Panel is manufactured to a high level of perfection,
in fact, 99.99% perfect in the number of properly functioning. As in tube television, sometimes a pixel is continuously active or
inactive. Our standard is clear, your pixels must be 99.99% perfect in the number of properly functioning pixels.
4. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
a. ..........Up to .01% pixel outages (small dot picture elements that are dark or incorrectly illuminated).
b. ..........Cosmetic damage or damage to this Plasma Display Panel or to any other products where such damage is caused by
unauthorized modification, alteration, repairs to or service of the product by anyone other than an authorized MITSUBISHI service
center; physical abuse to or misuse of the product (including any failure to carry out any maintenance as described in the Owner’s
Guide or any product damaged by excessive physical or electrical stress); any products that have had a serial number or any part
thereof altered, defaced or removed; product use in any manner contrary to the Owner’s Guide (including, but not limited to,
uneven phosphor aging and imprinted images on the viewing screen); freight damage or damage due to improper shipping meth-
ods; damage caused by use of third party mounting brackets or stands or any damage caused by acts of God or other factors
beyond the reasonable control of MDEA, such as power surge damage caused by electrical system or lightning. This warranty
also excludes service calls where no defect in the product covered under this warranty is found, service calls related to unsatisfac-
tory audio or visual reception or signal unless caused by a defect in the product that is covered under this warranty, all costs,
expenses or any other damages arising from product installation, or set-ups, any adjustments of user controls (including, contrast,
brightness, color, tint, fine tuning, sharpness), other adjustment necessary to prepare the unit for display or use, connection with
any external TV tuner, audio receiver, antenna, cable or satellite systems, or service of products purchased or serviced outside the
U.S.A. Please consult the operating instructions contained in the Owner’s Guide furnished with the product for information regard-
ing user controls.
5. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY WHICH, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, MIGHT
ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO A TERM OF ONE
YEAR.
6. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MDEA BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INCIDEN-
TAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CON-
TRACT, OR OTHERWISE.
7. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental, special or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
8. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

trol adjustment. If the problem persists, contact your nearest MITSUBISHI Dealer for the name(s) of authorized MITSUBISHI
