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 or a clean cloth diaper,
lightly moistened with water. Dry with a second dry,
soft, non-abrasive cloth.
For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid deter-
gent, 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.
LCD Screen Cleaning
• Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the LCD
screen. Do not use any liquids.
= Wipe the screen gently with an up and down
motion.
if Your TV Gets Damaged
Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of
the screen.
Crystalline liquid may leak from the LCD panel and
broken glass may be scattered.
CAUTION: The crystalline liquid is toxic. Avoid
contact with your skin, eyes, or mouth. DO NOT
touch the broken glass or crystalline liquid. DO NOT
get glass fragments or crystalline liquid into eyes or
mouth. Should either contact with your eyes or
mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with
water and consult your doctor.
Disposal of Your TV 0 =
MERCURY
The LCD panel contains a small amount of crystaline
liquid and the fluorescent tube in the panel contains
mercury. Both are toxic and should not be touched.
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.
DO NOT dispose of the TV with general household
waste. THE LAMPS INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN
MERCURY AND MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED

Your new high-definition widescreen television has
many special features, including:
Manual Swivel
The included stand allows the TV to be manually
swiveled up to 30 degrees left or right. See "Cable
Management" earlier in this manual.
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 Plush 1080p TM to convert lower-resolution signals
to 1080p for display. HDM11080p signals received on
inputs named PC and inputs named GAME (with GAME
mode selected) are displayed without overscan.
Smooth120Hz TM Operation (models LT-46144 and
LT-52144 only)
Smooth120Hz TM feature enables the display of
more fluid and smoother fast-moving images, free
from motion blur. In these LCD Flat Panel HDTVs,
Smooth120Hz TM doubles the traditional progressive
scan frame rate and creates new frames of video in-
between each of the traditional frames -- providing the
panel with additional information to smooth the moving
images.
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.
!ntegrated HOTV Tune r
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
format 480i and High Definition video formats
480p, 720p, and 1080i. This provides a high level of
flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders,
cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
HDMI 1.3 inputs. These inputs accept digital 480i,
480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus
PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI inputs can
also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions.
These inputs are compatible with Deep Color and
x.v.Color.
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.
Input Sensing
Easy Connect automatically recognizes when you
plug in an input and prompts you to assign a name to
it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is
an uncluttered Input Selection menu where you can
easily find and select connected devices by name.
NetCommand ®with IR Learning (LT-40134, LT-46144,
and LT-52144 models only)
Selected Mitsubishi HDTVs offer a new level of net-
working that seamlessly integrates selected older
A/V products with new and future digital products.
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.

audio of the program currently shown on the screen
to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system.
Digital audio from digital channels and HDMI devices is
converted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog
A/V receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio
connection needed between it and the TV.
12 1. Television Overview
5. iNPUT 1, 2 (Audio and Video)
iNPUT 1 and 2 can be used to connect a VCR, Super
VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite
receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. Each TV INPUT
group consists of jacks for composite video, S-Video,
and analog stereo audio. Note that when you connect
to the S-video jack, the composite video jack is auto-
matically disabled. INPUT 3 is a third set of composite
video and stereo audio jacks located on the side of the
TV for convenience.
6. HDMI TM inputs
The HDMI 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) sup-
ports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital
video formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.
Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI com-
pliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD
player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p video formats.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables
to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed cat-
egory 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color
and x.v.Color.
These inputs can also accept digital DVl video signals.
To connect a DVl source, use an HDMI-to-DVl adapter
or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog
audio cables to PC/DVI AUDIO iNPUT on the back of the
TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your PC or
DVI device.
The TV's HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals. See chapter 2, "TV
Setup" and Appendix A for additional information on PC
compatibility.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
These inputs are SimplayHD" certified for proper interop-
erability with other products certified by Simplay TM.
7. DiGiTAL AUDIO OUTPUT
This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV
to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver,
in most cases this is the only audio connection needed
between the TV and your A/V receiver.
8. IR Emitter NetCommand ®
(LT=40134, LT-46144, and LT=52144 models only)
IR Emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV's
NetCommand system to control external IR remote
controlled analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs,
DVDs, satellite receivers and audio receivers.

A/V Reoeiver
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or
analog stereo audio cables.
The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog
formats:
[] Analog audio coming into the TV is available as
output in digital stereo format on the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT jack (TV back panel #2).
[] Digital incoming audio is available as analog
output on the AVR AUDIO OUTPUT, L and R
jacks (TV back panel #1).
Usually, only one of the following connections is
required:
• To connect an analog A/V receiver
Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables
from AVR AUDIO OUTPUT, L and R on the TV back
panel #1 to the TV AUDIO INPUT on the A/V receiver.
• To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby
Digital surround sound and PCM audio support:
Connect one end of the dic ital audio cable to
DIGITALAUDIO OUTPUT on the back of the TV
(back panel #2). Connect the other end to the
COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT on the back of the A/V
receiver.
NV Receiver Panel
Note:
[] On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be
copy-restricted and cannot be output from
the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-
protected signals through the A/V receiver, use
connections for analog A/V receivers.
Check the A/V receiver's Owner's Guide for
information concerning use of the digital input
and switching between digital sound and
analog stereo sound from the TV.
Required: 3 coaxial cables, one two-way RF splitter.
These are not included with the TV.
Note: This connection is not recommended. The
other connections described in this chapter
provide better quality audio and video to the TV
and allow NetCommand to work with cable box.
1. Connect the incoming cable to IN on cable box.
2. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the cable
box to ANT l/MAIN on the TV back panel #2.

This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This
shape reflects the new types of images available from
HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style
narrow-screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will
encounter. While there is no perfect solution for dis-
playing a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen,
Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which
you can choose.
Press FORMATon the TV remote control to cycle through
the available display formats. The last-used format for
each device is used when you return to that device.
DVD Definitions
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
These DVDs are recorded in a special way to prop-
erly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using
the Standard format mode. This is the recommended
viewing choice.
Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full
Screen}
These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally
shaped, squarish TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or
1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter
box, which adds black top and bottom bars.
This information may be listed on the DVD case. Some
DVDs support both types of recordings.
Signal Definitions
480i Signals: Traditional interlaced signals from or
through ANT-1 and 2, iNPUT 1-3, COMPONENT and
HDMI jacks.
480p Signals: Progressive-scan DVD signals on COM-
PONENT and HDMI jacks.
720p and 1080i Signals: High-definition signals
received through COMPONENT and HDMI jacks. These
signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
SD 4:3: Standard-definition squarish-screen format
signals from digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2.
SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen format signals
from digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2.
HD: High-definition wide-screen format signals from
digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2. These signals are
always 16:9 (widescreen).
TV Display Format Definitions
Standard: This is the full-screen format. HDTV signals
use this format. This format is useful for displaying
Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect
ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect
ratio are displayed with black bars at the top and
bottom, but show the entire image correctly. Narrow
(4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side.
Available for all signals.
Game Note: For inputs named Game with 1080p
signals, aft pixels are displayed.
Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen,
cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom.
This is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom
bars of non-anamorphic DVD images. Available for
480i, 480p, and digital SD 4:3 signals only.
Zoom: This enlarges the picture, cropping off some
of the image at each side and top and bottom. This
is useful for removing or reducing the black top and
bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect
ratio. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image
across the screen; there is less stretch in the center
than at the sides, however. This allows the entire
narrow image to be displayed across the screen with
less distortion than is seen in the Standard format.
Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.
Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize
distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop
off portions of the top and bottom. Except when dis-
playing menus, press A Y to adjust the position of the
picture vertically. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3
signals only.
Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) images in
their original shape, and adds stationary black side
bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p, and SD
4:3 signals only.
Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of
the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful
to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow
images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital
broadcast. Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9
and digital HD signals; not available for 1080p signals.
Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen
(16:9) signals, but not all programming sent on
these channels was created for this format. The
broadcaster may stretch the image or add side
bars to fill the widescreen area.

The IR "Learning" feature of NetCommand allows
the TV to learn the remote control signals for your
A/V devices
NetCommand setup is optional.
You can perform NetCommand setup when the TV
first recognizes a device during Auto Input Sensing
or at any convenient time afterward.
NetCommand operates by sending remote control
signals from the TV to your other devices via the IR
emitters, telling the devices to play, record, change
inputs, adjust volume, change channels and many
more functions. All this is accomplished with the
TV's remote control and the slide switch left in the
TVposition.
You can choose the level of NetCommand control
for your home theater.
[] Standard Setup. Perform a standard setup if
you want NetCommand to control only a few
devices, such as the TV, a playback device
(like a DVD player), and a cable box. With this
setup, you can use the TV's remote control to
operate these devices.
A/V Receiver Setup. Perform A/V receiver
setup if you want NetCommand to:
Control a surround sound A/V receiver.
Automatically change audio input selec-
tions on an A/V receiver when you change
inputs on the TV.
6. NetCommand 51
An IR emitter cable is included with LT-40134, LT-46144, and
LT-52144 TV models only.
The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to
the IR EMITTER jack to control other devices such as
DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs.
1. Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter
cable to the IR EMITTER NetCommand ®jack on the
TV back panel #2 (in recessed area).
2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under,
alongside, or over each device to be controlled so
that the emitter end is in front of the area where the
remote control sensor is located.
3_
Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing
the 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.
The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window
of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible
with the aid of a flashlight and is normally a round
or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot
see the sensor and the device's Owner's Guide
does not specify the location, you can find it by
following these steps using the device's remote
control:
a. Hold the device's remote about one-half inch
from the front of the device. Starting from one
end of the display window plastic, press the
POWERbutton.
b. If the device does not respond, move the
remote control one inch toward the center and
try again.
c. Repeat this until the device responds.
d. Note this location and then start over from the
other end of the display window plastic, repeat-
ing until the device responds again.
The remote control sensor is somewhere
between these two positions. This is usually
enough accuracy for placement of the IR emit-
ters.
With some devices, the emitter works better
facing downward from the top of the device.
Experiment to find what works best.
4. Secure the emitter ends in place using double-
sided tape.
5. Place any unused ends behind the devices to
prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

Setup to Control Automatic Switching of
A/V Receiver Audio inputs
Two different setups are described here:
Setup 1: Automatic A!V Receiver Switching to TV
Audio Input.
Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching for a
device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver.
• Audio Available from TV only: Use Setup 1.
Audio from ANT 1 and ANT 2 must be sent to the
A/V receiver from the TV's DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or
analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT.
Use Setup 1 to make the A/V receiver switch to
its designated TV audio input when viewing these
sources.
• NDMI Digital Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.
Digital stereo audio from an HDMI connection
is available both in digital format (from the TV's
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) jack and in analog format
(from the TV's AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack).
Analog Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.
Audio from sources with only analog stereo output
(such as a VCR) can be sent either directly to the
A/V receiver or through to the TV and then on to the
A/V receiver.
Mitsubishi recommends you send audio through
the TV as shown in the example. Setup 1 causes
the A/V receiver to switch to its input designated for
TV audio.
If you have a digital A/V receiver, the TV makes the
audio available by converting analog audio to a
digital output.
= Digital Surround Sound: Use Setup 2.
A device can send digital surround sound such as
Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver,
bypassing the TV entirely. The device might be
a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and
could have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in
this example.
Your setup may include additional devices with
digital surround sound connected directly to the
A/V receiver. These devices might be a DVD player
plus a cable box or satellite receiver.

Progress screen, up to 24 hours to receive a full grid of listings).
2 Listing reads "Listings Pending."
Tiles in Listing read "No Listing" or "Title

4 Tiles in Listing read "Turned Off."
There are repeated {or missing} time slots
in the Listings.

The Guide has not yet completed initial setup, completed
changes you made, or the Guide is setup incorrectly. Verify
that your TV is properly connected to the input source. Then,
verify that the ZIP code and input source (entered during initial
setup of Guide) are correct. See chapter5, "TV Menu Settings
- Inputs Menu," for more information.
The Guide has not received updated show information or no
information was available the last time the Guide received an
update, update did not occur, or there was a power failure. Make
sure you turn the TV Off when not in use to allow for updates (in
the case of a power failure, it may take up to 24 hours to update
listings).
The channel you were watching before entering the Guide is
turned OFF in the grid. Use the channel editor to change the
channel setting to ON (see previous page - Modify Guide Setup).
The Guide is close to the time that a Daylight Savings time
adjustment is needed. The Guide automatically adjusts accord-
ingly when the local time is 2:00 a. m. to account for the affected
hour of programming. Once the adjustment is made, the Listings
should return to normal within 24 hours.
An incorrect lineup for your area is selected in the Guide setup.
Select the correct channel lineup for your area (see previous
page - Modify Guide Setup).
The Guide is not setup correctly. See previous page - Modify
Guide Setup.
The Guide changes the channel to receive updates, it does not
change the channel back until the update is complete. If the TV
is turned on before the update is complete, the channel will not
be changed back.

TV Reset Comparison Guide
You can resolve many common TV problems using the
reset functions described in the following table. See
also the additional 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 ANT 1, ANT 2, 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.

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

switch is not set to TV position.
Some, but not all, device key functions can be learned by
NetCommand. For example, POWER and PLAY may be
learned, but other functions may not.

enough. Insert fresh batteries and try Learning again.
Check to see if the A/V Receiver power is turned on.
With the power turned on, redisplay the Input Selection
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.
Wrong input or no input was assigned in the AV Receiver Learn
screen. All audio should go to the A/V receiver as audio output
from the TV unless the device's audio is connected directly to
the A/V receiver. See chapter 6, "NetCommand," and perform
the procedure to select the correct A/V receiver input.
NetCommand A/V receiver setup for the DVD player or digital
surround sound device or other device is not switching prop-
erly. See chapter 6, "NetCommand," and perform A/V receiver

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 AUDIO, press A Y to show
the Speakers option, then press _ to select AV Receiver or
TV.
Check that the VCR or DVR is receiving a signal directly from
your cable box or satellite receiver.

Mitsubishi LCD Fiat Panel 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 RDTV (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. MDEA also does not warrant that the Embedded Software will be compatible under IEEE 1394 AV/C and HAVi software standards with
products produced by any other manufacturer. The warranty contained in this section shall continue for a period of one year, from the date of the
original purchase from the 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 Customer 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.

tv.com.
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 date 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

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 wall mountings, or set-ups, any adjustments of user controls (including contrast, brightness, color, tint, fine tuning, sharpness), other
adjustment necessary to prepare the unit for display or use, connection with any external audio receiver, antenna, cable or satellite systems, or
service of products purchased or serviced outside the U.S.A. Please consult the operating instructions contained in the Owner's Guide furnished

3. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY WHICH, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, MIGHT 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 INCIDENTAL, 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.
In no event shall Mitsubishi have any liability, including without 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,
