equipment you'll need

• 1 RCA pin type audio cable

E>Important:

Using the PTV speakers as center channels speakers

If you are using a system that delivers Dolby Pro-Logic* surround sound,

such as the HTS-100, you will probably want to use the PTV speakers°

as center channel speakers. A center channel speaker adds to the realism

of surround sound systems such as Dolby Pro-Logic It does this by

allowing certain sounds, such as voice, to be directed to the center chan-

nel. In this way, the voices appear to be coming directly from the screen,

in the exact location you would hear them in a mov:.e theater.

If you make this connection, the volume for your speal:ers will be con-

trolled by the amplifier. If you are using an "invisible." system, such

as an HTS-IO0, this will not change the way you operate your TV. If

you are using another system, it may change the way you raise and

lower the volume.

Procedure:

O Connect the end of an RCA pin type cable to the CENTER IN ter-

minal on the back of the Projection TV.

O Connect the other end of this cable to the center channel OUT ter-

minal on the back of the audio amplifier.

Programming the remote control

The remote control unit is capable of learning the functions of other

remote controls you may have. This fearare allows operation of other

components with this remote control uni;. For learning _:otake place,

the other remote control unit must be of the infra-red type.

how to learn another unit's remote functions

OPlace the two remote control units head to head about 2 inches apart.

OPress the learn button (LEARN/NOI_tM) using a pen. The learning

indicators "1" and "2" will light up, and the remol:e control will

enter the learning mode.

OSet the VCR/TV control to "VCR" or' 'TV" position that the other

remote controls.

OPress the desired button to learn on this Projection TV's remote

control unit. The learning indicator "1" will light up.

Getting Started 49

Programming the remote control (cont.)

O Press and hold the corresponding button on the other remote conl_'ol

unit until the learning indicator "1" turns off. "¢_en the button

is released, the learning indicator "2" will light up.

Repeat steps @ -- @ for learning other funclioas.

• Press the learn button again. The learning indicators "1" and "2"

will turn off.

Depending on the unit, some commands may not be learned by steps

@ to @. In this case, try steps @ -- @ once again, and press

and hold the same button again until both learning indicators "1"

and "2" light up.

If the distance between two remote control units in step (_) is too

short or too long, the learning process may not be completed. In

this case, changethe distance between the two remote control umts

a little and then repeat steps @ --- @ once ag_a.

• The buttons can re-learn new commands by following the steps (3

-- (_) again.

canceling the learned functions

To erase the learned function of each button:

•Press the learn button (LEARN/NORM) using a pen. The learnfllg

indicators "1" and "2"' will light up.

O Press the button whose learned function is to be erased. Press the

learn button again.

50 Chapter 3: Operating Your Projection TV

_> Important: 0 Change the batteries regularly. If you don't, you may lose the learned

memory. We suggest you change the batteries after about 10 months of

use (though their life is approximately one year).

The learning in step _ may not be completed when the learning in-

dicators "1" and "2" flash under the following conditions:,

•Ifthe batteries ofthe remote control unit whose commands are to be

learned have run low

-- Replace with new fresh batteries.

• If all or some commands cannot be learned by the remote control

unit.

If the command is difficult to learn or _;he memory capacity of the

unit has been exceeded (that is, if the leveled command code is com-

plex, the learnable number of commands :may become less than the

learnable number of buttons).

-- Erase all the commands that have already been learned, and

start over again. (It is recommended Lhat the most frequently

used commands be learned first.)

If the units are far apart or too close, the unit may misread the light

from the other and fill its memory capacity with meaningless

commands.

-- Erase all learned commands, change slightly the distance be-

tween the units and start over again.

O Similar problems can also arise when the sensor i_';exposed to

strong light from fluorescent fLxtures and other powe:fful sources.

Your Mitsubishi Projection TV has three picture tubes and large diameter

lenses which are arranged in-line to project the light beams. Each picture

tube projects only one color: red, green or blue. For the best color pic-

ture, the three colors should be converged at the center of screen. Here

is the procedure for converging the color beams:

Adjusting the sound

You can adjust all of your Projection TV's sound functions by us-

ing a pair of buttons: select a function witkL the AUDIO button and

adjust the function with the ,ADJUST butto:a. You use tile ADJUST

button to:

• select a position (e.g., stereo),

• increase or decrease the function (e.g., bass),

• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., balance), or

• mrn the function on or off (e.g., expanzion).

After adjusting the sound, an on-screen display will ind:_care the

function and level you've selected.

E> Important:

what you will adjust

"Listen to: stereo/SAP/mono" allows yOrLto change the audio

reception mode to stereo, separate audio programming (SAP), or

monaural (mono), depending on the type of broadcast you are

receiving. As you select the reception m,_e, remember the

following:

• The "Stereo" setting allows you to receive both mono and stereo

broadcasts.

The separate audio programming ("SAP") setting ol.:fers you the

option of listening to either of two separate audio programs. For

example, a combination television!radio station may broadcast

through the Projection TV.

The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when a

stereo broadcast is coming in weak. "_v_aenyou use the "Mono"

setting, you will hear the broadcast in monaural even when the broad-

cast signal is in stereo.

An on-screen display appears when programs are broadcast in stereo

or when separate audio programming (SAP) is available.

"Bass" controls the volume of low-frequency sound.

"Treble" controls the volume of high-fiegLuency sound.

"Balance" adjusts the level of sound between, the left and right speakers.

"Audio Expansion: On/Off" creates a ste:veo effect with non-stereo

stations.

"Speaker: Internal /External" controsl wbicia speaker (built-in or exter-

nal) is available. Set to "Internal" for norraal operation using output

from the speaker system. When connected to an external audio system,

the speakers can be turned off by setting thJ.s function to "External"

"Extra Base" controls the volume of very low frequency sounds. These

sounds are lower than those, controlled by "Bass".

Getting Started 63

"Monitor out: Variable/Fixed" lets you set-up the Projection TV for use with

a home theater receiver or audio system. Choose "Variable" when you wish

to use the television remote control for such functions as volume and mute.

Choose "Fixed" if you connected a home theater receive:r or audio systera.

This lets you control functions such as volume and mute through the receiver

or audio system.

button to:

• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., tint),

* increase or decrease the function (e.g., color),

• turn the function on or off (e.g., video noise reduction), or

• select a position (e.g., color tempurature).

what you will adjust

"Tint" adjusts the proportion of red to green that determines the

delicate tones of color.

"Color" determines the intensity of the color.

"Contrast" controls the level of white-to-black in the picture.

"Bright(ness)" controls the light level of the image on screen.

"Sharpness" adjusts the detail and clarity of the picture:.

"Video N(oise) R(eduction): on/off'' is used to reduce background

noise that can occur with weak signals. Usually this function is set

to "off''.

"Notch filter:on/off'' is used in special cases to stabilize the color

of striped or checked patterns.

"Color temp.(erature): High/Middle/Low" is used to change the

relative warmth of the picture.

"Color bias: Average/Skin-tone/Accurate" is used to improve the

color reproduction depending to the input source.

Important: "Video NR" and "Color Bias" are automatically set to "off" or

"Average" when turning the Projection TV off, or changing a channel
