Getting Started

1.Review the important safety, installation, and oper- ating information at the beginning of this book.

2.Choose a location for your TV.

•Allow at least four inches of space on all sides of the TV to help prevent overheating. Over- heating may cause premature failure of the TV.

•Avoid locations where light may reflect off the screen.

3.Install the batteries in the remote control. See the following page. See chapter 4, “TV Operation and Features” for more on use of the remote control.

4.Plug your TV into a power outlet. The POWER indica- tor on the front lower-left corner of the TV will start blinking rapidly. After the POWER indicator stops blinking, press the POWER key (TV side panel or remote control) to power on the TV.

5.When the Welcome screen appears the first time you power on the TV, select a language for TV menus. You can later change the language through the Setup menu.

6. Connect your audio/video (A/V) devices to the TV and perform initial setup.

•See chapter 3, “TV Connections” for connec- tion diagrams.

•See the following pages for initial TV setup and use of the Auto Input Sensing feature.

•See chapter 6, “NetCommand,” to perform NetCommand IR “learning” for control of your home theater (available on LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only).

7.Mitsubishi recommends you perform a channel scan for channels received on ANT 1 and ANT 2. See “Initial TV Setup” on the following pages.

8. You can now start watching TV or you can perform additional setup and customization through the TV menus.

TV Operation
