Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™), Models WD-57731 and 65731

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” digital cable 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 infor- mation and service details.

Guidelines for Setting Up and Using Your New Widescreen TV

Getting Started

1.Read the section entitled “Important Information About Your TV” starting on page 5.

2.Choose a location for your TV.

Allow at least four inches of space on all sides of the TV to help prevent overheating. Overheating may cause premature failure of the TV as well as shortened lamp life.

Avoid locations where light may reflect off the screen.

See the stand requirements under “Important

Information About Your TV.”

3.Install the batteries in the remote control. See chapter 3, “TV Operation,” for information on use and care of the remote control.

4.Plug your TV into a power outlet. The POWER indicator on the front of the TV will start blinking rapidly. After the POWER indicator stops blinking, press the POWER key 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.Some TVs are shipped from the factory with demo mode active for use in retail stores. If demo mode is active when you first turn on the TV:

a.Press MENU.

b.When the Main menu appears with Setup high- lighted, press ENTER.

c.When the Setup menu opens, press to highlight the on-screen Demo Mode Off button.

d.Press ENTER.

7. Connect your other A/V devices to the TV and assign device names to the TV inputs when prompted.

See chapter 2, “TV Connections,” for connection diagrams. You can reassign device names later if needed. See “Input Name Menu” in chapter 4, “TV

Menu Settings.”

8.Memorize channels if you plan to watch over-the-air channels or programming over direct cable. Channel memorization may take up to 15 minutes to complete. See “Setup Menu” in chapter 4, “TV Menu Set- tings,”

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

Additional TV Setup

1. To program the remote control to operate your other A/V devices, see chapter 5, “Operating Other Devices with the Remote Control.”

2.Review chapter 4, “TV Menu Settings,” to custom- ize TV operation. Press the MENU key to enter the menu system. Some examples of settings you may wish to change include:

Energy Mode. For faster power-on, keep the Energy Mode set to Fast Power On. For lower power consumption while the TV is off, use the

Low Power setting. See “Setup Menu.”

Input Name. Change the device names that appear in the Input Selection menu. See “Input

Name Menu.”

Icon Order. Rearrange the device icons in the Input Selection menu to put frequently used icons near the front. See “Icon Order Menu.”

FAV. Create lists of your favorite channels so you can find them quickly. See “Channel Menu.”

Clock. If you wish to schedule future recordings or use the Timer feature to have the TV come on automatically, you must first set the TV clock to the correct time. See “Setup Menu.”

Parental Lock. You can restrict TV viewing by program rating or by time of day. You can also disable the front-panel buttons—useful if you have small children. See “Parental Lock Menu.”

Video Settings. Change the video adjustments to get the best picture for your viewing conditions. See “Audio/Video Menu.”

You may wish to change the Picture Mode from the default Brilliant to either Bright or Natural, which are suitable for most home viewing environ- ments.
