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.

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.

Special Features of Your TV
Your new high-definition widescreen 1080p LCD 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 programming.

High-Definition Video Inputs
Two Component Video Inputs, also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs. These inputs receive standard analog video formats
of 480i, 480p, 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 that accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080 and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital stereo
signals. Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept compatible DVI video 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.
Two IEEE 1394 Digital Interfaces that receive and send compressed digital signals, including high-definition
signals, along with digital audio and control signals between devices such as the TV, digital cable boxes, and
D-VHS digital video recorders.

ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
ClearThought® automatically recognizes when you plug in an input and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV
ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered Input Selection menu where you can easily find and select
connected devices by name.

Full Specturm Color™
(LT-46131 Model only)
Mitsubishi’s Full Spectrum Color™ results in 25% more color than standard LCD. Reds and yellows become more
vivid and there are more available shades of Green, Cyan and Blue. The result is a more vivid and more realistic image.

Manual and Power Swivel
Both TV models (LT-37131 and LT-46131) allow you to swivel the TV manually up to 30 degrees from left to right. In
addtion, the LT-37131 model has the Power Swivel feature, which automatically swivels the TV left or right when you
press or on the remote control. Note: Power Swivel is not available while the TV is in Split Screen mode.

PC Connectivity
The display has a PC (DVI ) video connector that supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, or SXGA signals. Please see Appendix B
for signal compatibility. Stereo audio inputs are also provided.

Chapter 1. Television Overview

CableCARD™ Technology
CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access
card customized to your account. This card allows your
TV to receive, decode, and unscramble the premium
digital channels included in your cable TV subscription
without the use of a cable box. When you move to a
new cable provider’s area, return the CableCARD to the
original cable provider and get a new card from your new
provider.
Please note that CableCARD is a relatively new technology
and your local cable provider may not currently be offering this service. As time passes, this system will become
broadly supported by most cable providers.
The CableCARD system is unidirectional, meaning your
cable provider can send updates to the TV, but the TV
cannot send signals back. As a result, certain advanced
and interactive digital cable services, such as requests for
video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a cable
operator’s enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced
television services may require use of a set-top box
instead. For more information, call your local cable operator.
Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD are
available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be
shared by other products on the network. You may be
unable to record or copy some digital programs, however,
because of copy restrictions set by the content or copyright owners.

Using a CableCARD™
Power on the TV and insert the CableCARD into the
CableCARD slot with the top of the card oriented as indicated by CARD TOP . When the initial screen displays, write down the information that appears and have it
ready when calling your cable provider.
In order to start cable
service for this device, please contact

4. AVR OUT
(Audio only)
AVR OUT (AUDIO/ViDEO RECEIVER OUT) L/R jacks
send 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, FireWire®
(DTVLink/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V
receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio connection needed between it and the TV.

5. MONITOR OUTPUT
Use these composite video and left/right audio jacks
to send analog video and audio signals to an external
recording device such as a VCR. The signals from these
jacks are from the program currently being viewed on the
TV screen. To make recordings from this output, the
TV must be in normal full-screen mode rather than in
Split-Screen mode.

•

•
•

From this output you can record audio and video
signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, INPUT 1-3, and
IEEE 1394 devices.
Digital signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, and IEEE
1394 devices are converted to analog video and
audio signals.
Some signals cannot be recorded because of
copy-protection flags in the content.
Video signals from devices connected to COMPONENT 1 & 2, HDMI 1 & 2 or PC DVI are
not available from these MONITOR OUTPUT
jacks.

6. HDMI/DVI AUDIO
Audio for HDMI 1 & 2: Use these analog audio inputs
when connecting DVI devices to the TV’s HDMI jacks.
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the
same cable. For analog audio from a personal computer, use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks instead.

Chapter 1. Television Overview

Back and Side Panels, continued

Side Panel

7. PC-DVI AUDIO
Use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks in conjunction with the
PC-DVI video input from a personal computer. These
jacks allow you to send left and right analog audio from
your computer to the TV.

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) compliant.
These inputs are
certified for proper
interoperability with other products certified by
Simplay™.

8. PC-DVI

10. DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

PC-DVI is a DVI-I input compatible with both DVI-A

computer’s HDMI, DVI, or VGA video output to this jack. An
adapter or converter cable may be required. Please see
Appendix B for signal compatibility. To hear audio from
the computer, connect analog audio cables from the computer to the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks.

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 is the only
audio connection needed between the TV and your
A/V receiver.

The PC-DVI input is not intended for standard video from
cable boxes, satellite receivers, or DVD players.

11. DTVLINK™/IEEE 1394

9. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format. For PC video, use
the PC-DVI input instead.
Do not connect a computer to either TV HDMI jack.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant
devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
video formats.
These inputs can also accept DVI video inputs. To connect
a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus
analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to
the HDMI/DVI AUDIO inputs on the TV to receive left
and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external
IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single
cable. See chapter 7, “Using IEEE 1394 Devices”
for detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connections and recording.

12. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV
service provider is inserted into this slot. When
inserting, ensure that the top of the card faces in the
direction indicated by CARD TOP .

Digital Video and Home Recording
The table below will help you decide which type of connection to use for digital video. Digital video comes to your
home in a compressed state, whether received on recorded media (e.g., disc) or broadcast over the air, over cable, or
via satellite. Some compressed digital video is available for recording as noted in the table.
Connection Type into the TV

Effect on Home Recording

HDMI or DVI
Compressed video is converted to
uncompressed form by an external device
such as a cable box, satellite receiver, or
DVD player before it is sent to the TV on an
HDMI or DVI cable.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire®) Connections
Your TV can receive and decode digital
channels, MPEG2 compressed digital video,
and Dolby Digital audio.

You cannot record the resultant uncompressed video sent to the TV
via HDMI or DVI.

You can record compressed digital video either
• on compatible digital recorders as digital signals
• as standard-definition composite video from the MONITOR
OUTPUT jack converted to analog signals
You may be unable to record some programming because of copy restrictions added by the content owners.

TV Signals and Picture Formats
This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This
shape reflects the new types of picture formats available
from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older
style narrow-screen picture formats (for example, 4:3
aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there is no perfect
solution for displaying a squarish, narrower image on a
wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several picture formats
from which you can choose.
Note: “Picture format” refers to the aspect ratio or the relative
size/shape of the picture, such as 16:9 or 4:3.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the
available picture formats. The last-used format for each
device is used when you return to that device.
Note: In Split Screen mode, the FORMAT key changes
the picture size on both sides of the screen, but
the aspect ratio (relative height and width) of both
pictures remains the same.

DVD Definitions
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly
show widescreen pictures on 16:9 TV sets using the
Standard format mode. This is the recommended viewing
choice.
Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full
Screen)
These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally shaped,
squarish TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1)
which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box,
which adds black top and bottom bars.
This information may be listed on the DVD case. Some
DVDs support both types of recordings.

Signal Definitions
480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from
or through ANT-1 and 2, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT
1 and 2, HDMI 1 and 2.
480p Signals: Progressive-scan DVD signals on COMPONENT inputs and HDMI 1 and 2 .
720p and 1080i Signals: High-definition signals received
through COMPONENT inputs and HDMI 1 and 2.
These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
1080p Signals: High-definition signals received through
HDMI 1 and 2.
SD 4:3: Standard-definition narrow-screen format signals
from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen format signals
from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

HD: High-definition wide-screen format signals from digital
channels and IEEE-1394 devices. These signals are always
16:9 (widescreen).

TV Picture 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 picture correctly. Narrow (4:3) pictures are
stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.
Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, cropping 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 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 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) picture
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 distortion than
is seen in the Standard format. Available for 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. Except when displaying menus, press
to adjust the position of the picture
vertically. Available for 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals
only.
Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) pictures in their
original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill
the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and 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 pictures that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and digital
HD signals.
Note: All high-deﬁnition channels send widescreen (16:9)
signals, but not all programming sent on these
channels was created for this format. As a result,
the broadcaster must convert such programming
for broadcast, and may stretch the picture or add
side bars to ﬁll the widescreen area.

Captions Menu

Digital Captions

For analog channels, broadcasters can send either standard closed captions or text service. Standard closed
captions follow the dialogue of the characters on screen
and display in a small section of the screen. Text-service
closed captions often contain information such as
weather or news and cover a large portion of the screen.

The following display options are available for digital
sources:

For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six different 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.

•

Captions 1–6: Sent by broadcaster.

•

On if Mute: Closed captions are displayed when
audio is muted. When selected, press MUTE on the TV
remote control to turn captioning on/off (Caption 1).

V-Chip Signal Information

V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS
• V-Chip blocking is ineffective for programs viewed
on devices connected to component or HDMI
inputs. Many of these devices, however, have their
own parental-control systems.
• Videotapes, laser discs, and DVDs may not
contain V-Chip rating signals. V-Chip cannot
block playback of recordings without V-Chip rating
signals.
• Broadcasters are not currently required to include
V-Chip rating signals. V-Chip cannot block programming broadcast without the V-Chip rating
signal.

Chapter 7. Using IEEE 1394 Devices

Overview
Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
Compatible A/V devices include some, but not all, cable
boxes, D-VHS VCRs, A/V discs, and future products.
Some devices may have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not
compatible with the TV. Areas of compatibility to consider
are:
1. Digital Video Signals
The TV can decode MPEG2 video as provided by cable
boxes and some camcorders. Many camcorders provide
DV video, which the TV cannot decode. Connect a DV
camcorder to the TV using analog audio plus composite
video, S-video, or component video, or use HDMI audio/
video. Other types of digital video, such as PC video
provided by some computers, must be decoded by the
source device and sent to the TV as analog video, S-video,
or DVI/HDMI video.
2. Digital Audio Signals
When received with video signals, the TV can decode
Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other
types of digital audio as provided by some digital recording devices, such as DTS audio, cannot be decoded by
the TV when received over IEEE 1394 connections.
The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio
signals on the coaxial digital audio output. These signals
may pass to other devices, however, on the IEEE 1394 cable.
3. Digital Control Signal
The TV can serve as the control center for IEEE 1394
audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners,
cable boxes, and amplifiers that are compatible with the
following IEEE 1394 control standards.
•

•

4-pin connector

6-pin connector

If you wish to connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a
camcorder), and the device is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device, there are several
ways to provide electrical power to the device:
• Connect the camcorder directly to the household AC.
• Use the camcorder’s battery for power.
• Connect the camcorder directly to another 6-pin
device in the network that can provide power.

Connection Methods
There are two connection methods for IEEE 1394 devices. Use
the method that fits your network of audio/video products.

Direct Device-To-Device Method
The IEEE 1394 interface allows you to chain devices,
unlike audio and video connections that require you to
connect each individual device directly to the TV. For
example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 A/V
disc and then connect the 1394 A/V disc to the TV. The
resulting IEEE 1394 chain allows you to add more devices
to the chain. You will see an icon for each device in the
TV’s Input Selection menu and can also send information
from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.

EIA-775. Designed for tuning devices such as cable
boxes, allowing the device to send simple graphics. This standard does not, however, allow the TV to
control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
AV/C (Audio Video Control). Designed to provide
basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection,
and volume, as appropriate for the device.

Four-Pin and 6-Pin Connections
There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE
1394 terminals and cables: a 4-pin and a 6-pin type.
Both types send the same digital audio, video, and control
signals, but the 6-pin connectors can also supply lowvoltage electrical power to connected devices. This TV
uses only 4-pin type connectors.
A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin
jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin
device, use a 6-pin-to-4-pin adapter or adapter cable.
These cables are available from electronics and computer
stores.

6-pin-to-4-pin adapter

�������
����

Hub Connection Method
The IEEE 1394 standard allows you to use the TV as a hub
within the audio/video network. Each device can send
information, which may include audio and video, to any
other device in the network.

you to select the sub-unit you wish to use.

Tips for Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

IEEE 1394 Amplifiers

•

You can use the TV to control switching between the TV
speakers and speakers connected to your IEEE 1394
amplifier.
1. Press INPUT to open the Input Selection menu. The
screen will show an icon for a connected IEEE 1394
amplifier. If an IEEE 1394 amplifier has been connected, AVR and TV speaker icons will display.
2. Press AUDIO to move the highlight to the audio section.
3. Press
to select either the TV speakers or the IEEE
1394 amplifier.
4. Press ENTER to select and hear the new audio source.

•

Do not loop the last
��������
device in the chain back
����
to the TV. When the
�������
device chain is looped,
����
the TV may not be able
��
to work with the other
devices.
Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the
power switch in the on position. When turned off,
IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the
device to other devices.
Place devices with the slowest communication speed
at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed is marked near the IEEE 1394 connector
with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster
the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of s400. Devices with slow communication speeds can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from
faster devices. When setting up a digital recording
between a faster device and a slower device, make
the slower device the source and make the faster
device the recorder.
Use IEEE 1394 cables 15 feet or less in length
between devices.
This TV is an IEEE 1394a device. It can be used with
an IEEE 1394b system when an IEEE-1394a-to-1394b
convertor is used. 1394b systems are capable of
greater distances and multi-room applications.
The TV can recognize a maximum of seven IEEE 1394
devices.

IEEE 1394 Devices and the Input Selection
Menu
Select an IEEE 1394 device to watch from the Input Selection menu just as you would any other device. See figure
3, Input Selection menu.
When you connect an IEEE 1394 device to the TV network
and power it on, the new device is automatically detected.
Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394
devices, such as personal computers (PCs), may not be
detected by the TV and do not appear in the Input Selection menu. Such devices can, however, coexist and are
still available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network
that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.
Some devices may be a combination of two or more types
of devices, such as a recording device that is also a tuning
device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit.
When you select a device on the Input Selection menu

IEEE 1394 Camcorders
•

Control Functions. Connect the camcorder to the
TV’s IEEE 1394 jack on the rear of the TV and test
using the TV’s remote control to operate the camcorder. If your model does not operate properly, use
the camcorder’s control buttons instead.

•

MPEG Camcorder. If you are unable to play back
over the IEEE 1394 interface, use the analog audio/
video connections described in chapter 2, “TV Connections.”
DV Camcorder. Connect the camcorder using the
analog audio and video connections described in
chapter 2, “TV Connections.”

•

You can connect an IEEE 1394 camcorder with an IEEE
1394 cable or with analog audio/video cables. In either
case, test using the TV’s remote control to operate the
camcorder over the IEEE 1394 cable.

IEEE 1394 System Compatibility
• This television is designed to conform to IEEE 1394 AV/C Software standards in effect at the time of development.
This networking and control technology is designed to provide high-performance digital connections and product
control, making the product easier to use.
• Mitsubishi D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV in audio, video, and control.
• As other manufacturers distribute products that use the IEEE 1394 AV/C standards, they will be responsible for
developing products that meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other products.
Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these other products. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers’ products should be brought to the attention of those
manufacturers.
HDMI
The HDMI input is compliant with EIA-861B standards for standard, extended, and high-definition video; digital audio,
and HDCP copy protection. The HDMI inputs on this TV are not intended for use with personal computers or devices
outputting video signals with computer resolutions.
