    or television reception, which can be determined 
    by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
    encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 
    or more of the following measures:
    -  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
    - Increase the separation between the equipment 
    and the receiver.
    - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a 
    circuit different from that to which the receiver 
    is connected.

    Important Safety Instructions
    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 these instructions.
    2) Keep these instructions.
    3) Heed all warnings.
    4)  Follow all instructions.
    5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
    6)  Clean only with dry cloth.
    7)  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 
    accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
    8) Do not install near any heat sources such as 
    radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 
    (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
    9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized 
    or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two 
    blades with one wider than the other. A grounding 
    type plug has two blades and a third grounding 
    prong. The wide blade or the third prong are 
    provided for your safety. If the provided plug does 
    not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 
    replacement of the obsolete outlet.
    10)  Protect the power cord from being walked on 
    or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
    receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 
    apparatus.
    11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
    manufacturer.
    12) Use only with the cart, 
    stand, tripod, bracket, 
    or table specified 
    by the manufacturer, 
    or sold with the 
    apparatus. When 
    a cart is used, use 
    caution when moving 
    the cart/apparatus 
    combination to avoid 
    injury from tip-over.
    13) Unplug this apparatus 
    during lightning storms or when unused for long 
    periods of time.
    14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
    Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 
    damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or 
    plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 
    have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has 
    been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
    normally, or has been dropped.

    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.
    Replacement Parts
    When replacement parts are required, be sure the 
    service technician has used replacement parts speci-
    fied by the manufacturer or have the same character-
    istics as the original part.  Unauthorized substitutions 
    may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

    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:
    1080p High-Definition LCD Display System
    Your Mitsubishi LED LCD HDTV  uses a full 1920 x 1080 
    LCD panel to create the picture you see on the screen.  All 
    images are displayed at 1080p.  The TV uses new Plush 
    10 8 0 p® 5G digital video processing to convert lower-reso-
    lution signals to 1080p for display.
    True120Hz and True240Hz
    True120Hz (154 and 164 series) and True240Hz (265 series) 
    make fast-moving images appear smoother and more fluid, 
    free from motion blur.  It does this by doubling the tradi-
    tional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames 
    of video between the traditional frames to create smoother 
    moving images.  True120Hz/True240Hz also smooth film 
    judder (image vibration) that may be present in film-based 
    content such as movies.
    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 broad-
    casts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled 
    digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled 
    HDTV cable programming.
    High-Definition Video Inputs
    Component Video Inputs.•	  Also called Y/Pb/Pr 
    inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video 
    formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-defini-
    tion signals.  This provides a high level of flexibility 
    when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable 
    boxes, and satellite receivers.
    HDMI Inputs.•	  These inputs accept digital 480i, 
    480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus 
    bitstream and PCM digital stereo signals.  The 
    HDMI™ inputs can also accept a variety of PC 
    signals and resolutions. 
    Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept 
    compatible digital 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.
    Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
    Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing automatically rec-
    ognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to 
    assign a name to it.
    Home-Theater Control
    HDMI Control
    Available on all models.  HDMI devices with Consumer 
    Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible 
    with the TV’s HDMI Control feature.  Compatible devices 
    can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, 
    allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some func-
    tions of these devices.
    NetCommand with IR Learning
    265 Series.  NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control 
    of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, 
    and satellite receivers.  NetCommand can “learn” remote 
    control signals directly from many devices, allowing you 
    to create a customized NetCommand-controlled home-
    theater system.
    Sound Projector
    Sound Projector technology uses the TV’s bank of 
    speakers to create a simulated surround sound effect 
    by reflecting sound off the room walls.
    StreamTV™ Internet
    StreamTV brings many popular internet applications to your 
    TV.  Among them is the VUDU™ movie service, offering the 
    largest on-demand HD movie selection anywhere, featur-
    ing full 1080p and 5.1 surround sound.  VUDU allows you 
    to enjoy movies with no store visits, no mailing, no late fees 
    and no subscriptions.
    ENERGY STAR®
    This is an ENERGY STAR® qualified TV.  Products that 
    earn the ENERGY STAR prevent greenhouse gas emis-
    sions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set 
    by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the 
    U.S. Department of Energy.
    This TV uses power within ENERGY STAR guidelines 
    except when Picture Mode is set to Brilliant.
