Guidelines For Setting Up And Using Your New Widescreen Tv - Mitsubishi Electric WD-52631 Owner's Manual

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."
Chapter 1. Television Overview
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.
