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 LCD Flat Panel 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 1080p

®

5G digital video processing to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion makes fast-moving images appear smoother and more fluid, free from motion blur. It does this by doubling the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video between the traditional frames to create smoother moving images.

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion also smooths 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.

Inputs and Outputs, continued

1. ANT (Antenna)

Connect your main antenna or direct cable service (no cable box) to ANT . The ANT input can receive digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.

2. HDMI™ Inputs (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats, PCM digital stereo audio, and digital 5.1 surround sound. These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables, also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.Color

.

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D and HDMI computer video signals.

Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI compliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p,

1080i, and 1080p video formats.

These HDMI inputs can also accept digital DVI video signals. To connect a device’s DVI output to the TV’s

HDMI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jacks on the TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

HDMI Cable Categories

HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and Category 2 types.

•

•

Category 2 Cables (also called high-speed HDMI cables). Newer, HDMI 1.3-compliant DVD players, video games, and set-top boxes require Category 2 cables, suitable for clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates of up to 10.2 gigabits per second. Use category 2 cables for high-speed 1080p HD signals carrying extended color encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep Color). Category 2 cables are also suitable for standard HDTV signals.

Category 1 Cables (also called standard HDMI cables). Category 1 cables may be unmarked. They are suitable for standard HDTV 720p, 1080i, and

1080p signals with 8-bit color depth. Use category 1 cables for clock frequencies up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23 gigabits per second.

3. Y Pb Pr (Component Video)

Connect devices with component video outputs to this jack. Use the adjacent AUDIO R and L jacks if you wish to send audio to the TV.

4. VIDEO (Composite Video)

Connect a VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. Use the adjacent AUDIO

R and L inputs if you wish to send audio to the TV.

5. AVR AUDIO OUTPUT

Use AVR AUDIO OUTPUT to send analog audio of the current program to an analog A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV for output on this jack. This is the only audio connection needed to the TV if using an analog

A/V receiver or stereo system.

Headphones.

These jacks can also be used for headphones that accept standard line level audio signals.

An adapter may be needed.

Captions

Captions on Analog Channels

The TV can decode captions from the ANT INPUT and the composite VIDEO jacks. Broadcasters can send either standard closed captions or text service. Standard closed captions follow the dialogue of the program 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.

Captions on Digital Channels

The TV can decode captions from the ANT input only.

Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning selections or can send analog captions for a program that originated in analog format. A TV station may broadcast only one or two types of captions or none at all.

IMPORTANT

• Analog text-service options display a large black or gray box on the screen when no signal is being broadcast.

• The content of captions is determined by the broadcaster. If captions show strange characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not a malfunction of the TV.

• Closed-caption signals are not available through

HDMI or component jacks. See the menus for devices connected to these inputs for closedcaption decoding.


The TV’s Captions menu does not control closed captions for content received from the VUDU™ internet service.

NetCommand operates by sending remote control signals from the TV to your other devices via the

IR (infrared) emitters, telling the devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume, change channels, or perform other functions. All this is accomplished with the TV’s remote control left in TV mode.

You may wish to use NetCommand IR control to supplement control of CEC-enabled devices.

Important Note on NetCommand

Be sure to connect the IR emitter cable to the

TV and properly place the emitters so that

NetCommand can control your devices.

4. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing the device’s remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to reach the sensor.

In some cases, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Experiment to find what works best.

5.

6.

Secure the emitter ends in place using doublesided tape.

Place any unused ends behind the devices to prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

IMPORTANT

Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter.

Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all.

Appendix B: HDMI Control of CEC Devices

Many new HDMI devices have a feature called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) or HDMI Control.

HDMI Control allows one device, such as the TV, to control other devices, such as an A/V receiver or disc player. Use of CEC is optional.

Each manufacturer chooses which CEC functions to support so it is difficult to predict which devices and features are compatible with Mitsubishi’s HDMI Control.

You may find that CEC functions for a specific device are limited.

To use HDMI Control, you must enable it in both the TV and the device.

• In the TV.

Enable HDMI control from the New

Device Found screen or from the Inputs > HDMI

Control menu.

• I n the Device.

Most devices with HDMI CEC compatibility let you turn it on or off in the device menus, where it is typically listed as “HDMI Control.”

Enabling HDMI Control of CEC Devices

•

Power on HDMI devices before connecting them to the TV.

Connect and set up HDMI devices one at a time.

3.

Power on the device and allow it to complete the power-on sequence (boot up). Stop any playback.

Connect the device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs.

When the TV detects the connection, the New

Device Found screen will appear.

Note: See “If the New Device Found Screen Displays

No HDMI Control Option” on this page if there is no HDMI Control option.

Cleaning Recommendations

Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is needed, please use the following guidelines:

First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Top and Sides of the TV

•

•

Occasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake grilles on the back and sides of the TV. Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive cloth such as cotton flannel, microfiber, or a clean cloth diaper, lightly moistened with water. Dry with a second dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.

General Cleaning Precautions

•

•

•

•

•

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots or any crevice.

DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the surfaces.

DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can dull the surfaces.

DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the

TV’s surfaces.

DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe it gently.

•

•

-

For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid detergent, such as dishwashing detergent, to the water used to moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moistened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Glossy Surfaces: Take special care when cleaning the TV’s glossy surfaces.

-

-

Always shake or brush the cleaning cloth first to remove any dirt particles.

Wipe the glossy areas gently, without applying pressure.

If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Use no chemical or abrasive cleaners.

LCD Screen Cleaning

•

•

•

IMPORTANT

DO NOT apply any type of liquid to the surface of the TV screen.

Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use any liquids.

Wipe the screen gently with an up and down motion.

Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the screen.

Care of the Remote Control

Appendix E: Troubleshooting

TV Reset Comparison Guide

You can resolve many common TV problems using the reset functions described in the following table. See also the troubleshooting suggestions later in this appendix.

IMPORTANT

Before you change sound or picture settings: If picture or sound settings seem wrong for a broadcast channel

(a channel from the ANT input, a cable box, or satellite receiver), first check other channels from the same input before changing settings. If most other channels from the same input seem correct, there is likely a problem with the broadcast rather than with the TV. Use care in this case, as changes you make to fix problems on individual channels also affect all other channels on the same input.

Cannot select an audio-only device; it does not appear in the Activity menu.

5.

Sound is coming from the TV speakers instead of the A/V receiver.

Remarks

The TV’s “Listen to:” setting may be set to SAP (analog program from the ANT input).

•

•

Check that DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT and/or AVR AUDIO

OUTPUT on TV’s main panel is connected to the A/V receiver.

Without this connection, devices connected only to the TV (and not the A/V receiver) can be heard only from the TV speakers.

Note that this includes the ANT input, a device (such as a camcorder) connected to the convenience panel, and any other device sending audio to the TV only.

If using a NetCommand-controlled A/V receiver, NetCommand may be selecting the wrong A/V receiver audio input. Check the

A/V receiver’s NetCommand setup in the Inputs > AVR menu.

Plug an unused video plug into the Y/VIDEO jack to activate Auto

Input Sensing and make the audio device selectable in the Activity menu.

Disconnect headphones. Connect the TV’s AUDIO OUT to the A/V receiver and select AV Receiver from the New Device Found screen.

NetCommand IR Control (NetCommand-equipped models only)

Symptom Remarks

3.

The A/V receiver is the selected audio source but there is no sound.


Check to see if the A/V Receiver power is turned on.

With A/V receiver power turned on, redisplay the Activity menu and press ENTER to allow NetCommand to

correctly select the A/V Receiver input.

Incorrect setup in the Inputs > AVR menu. Check the device connection assigned in the AVR menu.

• A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio and Video Switching over HDMI

Check to see if the A/V Receiver power is turned on.

If the device is connected only to the TV (e.g., on ANT or a front panel input), verify that the TV’s AUDIO

-

OUTPUT is connected to the A/V receiver.

The A/V receiver is not switching properly because you have not learned the IR codes for the A/V receiver inputs to which your devices are connected.

NetCommand A/V receiver setup for the DVD player or digital surround sound device or other device is not switching properly. See “Automatic Switching (Audio or Audio/Video),” page

63, and perform A/V receiver setup for a digital surround sound device.

4.

There is no sound from the A/V receiver for my DVD player or other surround sound device even though I learned the IR code for the A/V receiver’s DVD input or other input.

(A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio-Only Switching)

5.

There is no sound or picture from the A/V receiver for my DVD player or other device connected to the A/V receiver; the A/V receiver should be sending video to the TV over an HDMI cable.

(A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio and Video

Switching over HDMI)

6.

I’ve selected my DVD player or other surround sound device in combination with the

TV speakers but hear no sound from the TV speakers.

The NetCommand A/V receiver setup is not switching audio and video inputs properly because you did not “learn” the A/V receiver’s IR codes for the device inputs. See “Case 3: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI,” page 65.

7.

I “learned” the RECORD key for my VCR/DVR but when I pressed the RECORD key, the

VCR/DVR did not record anything.


If you have only an audio connection from the device to the

A/V receiver, a physical audio connection from the device to the TV is also required.

Connect the left and right audio output from the device to the appropriate TV audio input. Now you can hear

audio from the device through either the TV speakers or the A/V receiver.

To switch audio sources, press MORE 9 (Audio), press to show the Speakers option, then press to select AV Receiver or TV.

• A/V Receiver Set Up for Audio and Video Switching over HDMI

With your DVD player connected to the A/V receiver, only video is passed from the A/V receiver to the TV because of copy-protection restrictions on the HDMI signal

Check that the VCR or DVR is receiving a signal directly from your cable box or satellite receiver.

GNU General Public License

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the

Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this

General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.

(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.

But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this

License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:


91

GNU General Public License, continued

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/ donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.

For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLI-

CABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS”

WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABIL-

ITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD

THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO

MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF

DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH

ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Warranty

Mitsubishi LCD Flat Panel HDTV Limited Warranty

MITSUBISHI DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. (“MDEA”) warrants to the original purchaser of this LCD Flat Panel HDTV that if purchased from an authorized MITSUBISHI Audio/Video Dealer, should it prove defective by reason of improper workmanship and/or material: a.

Parts.

All parts (except any software incorporated into this HDTV) are warranted for a period of one year from the date of the original purchase at retail. We will repair or replace, at our option, any defective part without charge for the part. Parts used for replacement may be replaced with those of like kind and quality and may be new or remanufactured. Parts used for replacement are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

b. Embedded Software. MDEA warrants that all software incorporated into this HDTV (the “Embedded Software”) will perform in accordance with the functional description of Embedded Software in all material respects, but MDEA does not warrant that the Embedded Software is error-free. The warranty contained in this section shall continue for a period of one year, from the date of the original purchase from the authorized dealer. If, after prompt notice within the warranty period, MDEA determines that the Embedded Software has failed to perform in accordance with such functional description in all material respects and if such failure is not due to accident, misuse, modification or misapplication of the Embedded Software, then

MDEA shall modify or replace the nonconforming Embedded Software at no charge to you, which at MDEA’s sole discretion may be fulfilled by means of modification or replacement software contained on a replacement memory card for Consumer installation. The foregoing shall be MDEA’s sole obligation to you under this limited warranty. All rights under this limited warranty on the Embedded Software also subject to your compliance with the terms of the Software License Agreement applicable to this HDTV, and this limited warranty on the Embedded Software shall be null and void if the Embedded Software is modified or changed in any manner except as specifically authorized by MDEA.

c. Labor. For certain items that are designed to be replaced by the consumer, including (but not limited to) some Embedded Software, the consumer is solely responsible for any replacement labor. For all other parts, we will provide the labor for a warranty repair by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center without charge for one year from the original date of purchase at retail.

d. Notice.

To obtain warranty service, you must notify an authorized MITSUBISHI service center of any defect within the applicable warranty time period.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE, please review the TV owner’s guide to insure proper installation and correct customer control adjustment. If the problem persists, please arrange for warranty service.

b.

Warranty service will be provided in your home or, if required, at an authorized service shop, provided that your television is located within the geographic territory customarily covered by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center. If not, you must either deliver your television to an authorized service location at your own expense, or pay for any travel and/or transportation costs the service center may charge to and from you home. Actual service labor will be provided without charge.

c.

Proof of purchase from an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer is required when requesting warranty service. Present your sales receipt or other document which establishes proof and date of purchase. THE RETURN OF THE OWNER REGISTRATION

CARD IS NOT A CONDITION OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. However, please return the Owner Registration Card so that we can contact you should a question of safety arise which could affect you.

2. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: a.

Up to .01% pixel outages (small dot picture elements that are dark or incorrectly illuminated).

b.

Cosmetic damage or any other damage 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 (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; freight damage; 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 damages caused by use of third party mounting brackets or stands. This limited warranty also excludes service calls where no defect in the product covered under this warranty is found, service calls related to unsatisfactory audio or visual reception or signal unless caused by a defect in the product that is covered under this limited warranty, all costs, expenses or any other damages arising from product installation, removal from or re-installation into custom installations or on

ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES

OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO A TERM OF

ONE YEAR.

4.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MDEA BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INCI-

DENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF

CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE.

5.

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.

6.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

7. In the event of any dispute under this limited warranty, jurisdiction and venue for resolving that dispute will be in the state where the television was purchased and the laws of such state will govern. In no event shall Mitsubishi have any liability, including with out limitation, for general, consequential, incidental, or special damages for loss, destruction, damage or corruption of recorded data, media or software resulting from use of this television, or cost of recovery of lost data, media or software therefore.
