Chapter 1. Television Overview 11
Special Features
Your new High Definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of
your home entertainment system, including:
High Definition DLP™ Display System
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments most advanced Digital Light Processing™ technology
for rear projection televisions. This TV is truly a high-performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both
stunning high-definition video images and clear, detailed, high-resolution PC images. Your TV is able to accept
video signals from an antenna or direct cable in standard video scanning rates of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and
1080p. It is also able to accept, through the HDMI 2 connection, signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480)
through XGA (1024 x 768). When used with a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also
able to accept the custom PC resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). When connecting a PC to HDMI you will need a PC
video card with DVI or HDMI output. Also, so the TV can apply the correct PC signal processing, you will need to
set up the TV to receive the PC signals through the HDMI 2 input by using the NetCommand setup system. All of the
compatible video and PC signals will be converted to 1080p for final display; some signals will, however, add black
side bars, top and bottom bars, or both to fill the screen, and some signals will display standard video overscan.
TV Guide On Screen® Interactive Program Guide System
An eight-day on-screen program guide that can be used with cable, over-the-air and CableCARD™ reception. The
subscription-free guide system lists regular, digital and high-defintion programming. This system allows multiple
sorting options and easy program recording. Program listings are downloaded while your TV is turned off, so that
you have current program information available every day. Note that when the system is first set up, it may take up
to 24 hours to begin to receive TV program listings. It may take one week to receive all eight days of TV program
listings.
Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital
signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box
to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability
information and service details.
