jection and LCD Flat Panel. Mitsubishis product lineup
also includes LASERVUE. The V40 Chassis is cur-
rently available and the V42 Chassis is slated to be in-
troduced in the near future.
This manual is divided to cover the two display types
separately. DLP Projection is covered in Part 1. LCD
Flat Panel is covered in Part 2.
Introduction
Mitsubishis 2009-2010
DLP Projection & LCD Flat Panel
Product Line
Model / Chassis
Continuing the trend from previous years, the 2009-2010
product line focuses on large screen sizes in compact
cabinets. With the introduction of two 82 DLP Rear
Projection TV models, the term Big Screen really does
apply to Mitsubishi. A breakdown of LCD and DLP
models by size and chassis is shown below with DLP
technology used for the larger screen sizes and LCD for
the smaller screen sizes.
The DLP Projection TV line includes ten models that in
addition to two 60 models, includes three 65 models,
three 73 models and the two 82 models previously
mentioned.
The LCD Flat Panel line-up, referred to as Unisen, in-
cludes eight models in 40, 46 and 52 wide screen
sizes.

Features & Technol ogi es
With todays demanding customer, it is no longer enough
for a service technician to be able to perform compe-
tent repairs. He must be knowledgable of all the latest
features and technologies available in the market place.
The ability to demonstrate and give knowledgable tech-
nical advice will instill customer confidence in the
technicians abilities. This results in trust that repairs will
be performed properly and will build not only repeat
business but word of mouth references for the future.
An overview of the features and technologies used in
the DLP Projection and LCD Flat Panel product line is
given below.
New Features and Technologies:
New User Interface - The TV operating
software has been redesigned for a speedy
boot cycle and ease of use. The new user
interface and software will be discussed further
at the end of the Introduction.
Energy Star

3.0 - All models meet Energy


Star 3.0 standards. Our LCD line consumes
less energy than last years line of flat panels;
while all of our DLP projection models con-
sume significantly less energy than similar sized
flat panel TVs. In the Standard Mode, all
models consume less than 0.5 Watts of power
in Standby.
Internet Media Ready - This exciting feature
lets you stream media content from a variety of
internet content providers by way of a Ethernet
Connection. It is available in VLP41++
models.
Integrated Sound Projector - Introduced last
year, Integrated Sound Projector is a built-in 16
speaker array capable of producing Dolby

Digital 5.1 channel surround sound without


additional audio equipment. It is now included
in all LCD Flat Panel models along with a digital
audio input jack. The VLP41++models
Immersive Sound TV adds Dual Driver Ex-
tended Range speakers to deliver optimal
sound performance through a total of 18
speakers.
ISF ccc Advanced Calibration Mode - All
models have an additional ADV video setting
that can be adjusted to exacting standards.
V41+and VLP41++models include two
settings (ADV1 & ADV2) to allow separate
ISF ccc calibrations for day and night use.
Video Features and Technologies:
Plush1080p- 5th Generation The native
resolution for all DLP Projection and LCD Flat
Panel models is 1080p. However they can
display all video and many computer resolu-
tions. For resolutions other than 1080p, the
signal must be reformatted in order to best fill
the TV screen. For a sharp, clear picture,
Mitsubishi developed Plush1080p technol-
ogy. Using 12 bit digital processing, it scales
the picture precisely, with minimal side effects.
And 1080i, currently the most common form of
HDTV signal, is spectacular at 1080p. The
conversion is precise, resulting in previously
unachievable detail and clarity. In short,
Plush1080p technology makes everything else
look better on a 1080p HDTV.
Tru1080p Processing maintains 1080p high
definition signals as 1080p from beginning to
end. All 1080p HDMI and 1080p Broad-
cast signals are passed through with no down
conversions. The advancements of 1080p DLP
technology for HDTV viewing deliver over two
million pixels to you on-screen for a full and true
1920 x 1080 resolution. With Mitsubishi 1080p
DLP HDTVs, you can experience the best that
high definition has to offer.
Color 4D Video Noise Reduction uses
advanced algorithms to better identify video
noise from fine detail and correct the signal
rather than distort it. Video noise is caused by
distortions in the video signal and makes the
picture look grainy or snowy. As signal resolu-
tions improve with the introduction of DVD,
III
digital cable/ satellite and HDTV, the loss of
sharpness produced by most noise reduction
circuits becomes more noticeable. Mitsubishis
advanced 4D Video Noise Reduction corrects
the image in four dimensions: horizontally,
vertically, within each frame and across multiple
frames to provide an image that is crystal clear
and extraordinarily detailed.
6-Color Processor Mitsubishis 6-Color
Processor produces brighter colors, a wider
range of colors and whiter whites.
PerfectColor is an exclusive Mitsubishi
feature that provides the ability to adjust the
intensity of six separate colors independently of
each other and separately for every input.
PerfectColor is much more powerful than
conventional color intensity control, which can
only increase or decrease the intensity of all
colors at the same time. While not new for this
year, PerfectColor works in conjunction with
PerfecTint to provide the user with the most
color control ever.
PerfecTint is another exclusive Mitsubishi
feature. It provides the ability to adjust the tint
of six separate colors independently of each
other and separately for every input.
PerfecTint is much more powerful than
conventional color tint control, which can only
shift the tint of all colors at the same time.
DeepField Imager constantly adjusts
brightness and contrast for optimum settings in
all areas of the picture. It can even optimize
complex scenes containing both dark and bright
areas. DeepField Imager analyzes 135
sectors of the picture in real time. It determines
the optimum blend of contrast and brightness
settings within the picture using advanced
Mitsubishi algorithms. Based on picture analysis
it dynamically adjusts for areas that are too high
or low in contrast and/or too dark or bright
displaying the best balanced picture in every
scene.
Sharpedge is an edge-definition signal
processing system. It enhances horizontal and
vertical edges for stunning picture precision.
Video Modes: Brilliant / Bright / Natural /
Game / ADV The five picture video modes
can be used to adjust for optimum viewing in
different room lighting and gaming applications.
All modes are accessible via the VIDEO key
on the remote control.
Side and Rear HDMI 1.3a I nputs
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is
an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface. HDMI provides an interface between
an audio/video source, such as a set-top box,
DVD player, or A/V receiver and the TV over
a single cable. 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 support HDMI
1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits), the x.v.Color
extended color gamut and the use of CEC
control signals. Mitsubishi recommends the
use of category 2 HDMI cables, also called
high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI
1.3 source devices.
x.v.Color Advances in the display technolo-
gies used by Mitsubishi greatly expand our
TVs color gamut capabilities. Thanks to these
display technologies, the displays capabilities
now exceed those of the color signal. For that
reason Mitsubishi helped define the new
standard in high definition color. x.v.Color
enables more color than ever before for breath-
taking realism and vivid, natural colors. This
extended color gamut standard can support 1.8
times as many colors as existing HDTV signals.
This removes all limits on color selection.
Mitsubishis 2009-2010 product line can
process and display x.v.Color signals supplied
to either the HDMI or Component inputs.
IV
Deep Color Another color performance
improvement technology is referred to as Deep
Color. As defined, Deep Color offers 10- bit,
12-bit or 16-bit color depth. Using a higher bit
rate allows more accurate reproduction of the
original color signal.
Additional benefits include
Reduction or elimination of artifacts
known as posterization or contouring that
result in color bands when gradual color
changes occur.
Less signal degradation during signal
processing such as scaling and gamma.
Increased contrast ratios and better color
detail.
Mitsubishis product line has 12-bit per color
(36 bit) signal processing. Higher bit rates
result in smoother color transitions.
Dark Detailer (DLP only) is a Mitsubishi
exclusive technology that uses a dynamic
aperture system to add depth and texture to the
picture. Dark Detailer improves contrast ratio
by more than four times, giving you a wide
array of colors and shades that are essential for
optimal viewing of dark, dramatic scenes while
also providing maximum brightness.
Smooth120Hz (DLP Only) reduces motion
blur in action scenes but may show pixel
structure during slower motion or in still images.
When Off, standard picture smoothing process-
ing is employed
Lamp Power (DLP only) All DLP models have
a 180W lamp with two modes of operation,
Standard, 156W and Bright, 180W.
10 Bit LCD Panel (LCD Only) has the ability
to deliver 64 times the level of colors than 8-bit
panels. The result is a smoother transition
between colors.
Wide Color Gamut CCFL Panel (LCD only)
results in 25% more color than standard LCD.
Reds and yellows become brighter and more
vivid, and there are more available shades of
Green, Cyan, and Blue. Mitsubishi uses a wider
range of phosphors in its backlight system for a
richer, fuller spectrum of colors. To fully utilize
this added color range, Mitsubishi also
recalibrated its color and brightness settings.
The resulting picture quality adds realism to
yellow sunlight, blue skies and crimson sunsets.
Smooth120Hz Film Motion (LCD Only)
makes fast-moving images appear smoother
and more fluid, free from motion blur. This
feature doubles the traditional progressive scan
frame rate and creates new frames of video
between the traditional frames to smooth
moving images. Smooth120Hz Film Motion
also smooths film judder (image vibration) that
may be present in film-based content such as
movies. The Diamond series includes Variable
Smooth Film Motion.
Other Features and Technologies
Easy Connect simplifies set-up and day-to-
day use. During set up, when an external device
is plugged in, the TV recognizes each input as it
is connected. The TV then prompts the user to
name the device, and enters it into the Device
Menu. The Device Menu then only shows used
inputs.
CEC Control Signals - Mitsubishis new
NetCommand for HDMI 1.3a uses industry
standard CEC control signals to provide control
of other compatible devices .
NetCommandIR - This exclusive Mitsubishi
feature provides the user with a true one
remote control home theater system for analog
products. NetCommand IRprovides on-
screen control of analog-connected products
such as your AV receiver, DVD player, satellite
V
receiver, and VCR. To set it up, you simply
tell the television what products are con-
nected and teach it their IR (infrared) com-
mands. The TV will then take control, eliminat-
ing the coffee table clutter of remote controls.
USB Input - For viewing photographs up to 5
mega pixels using a USB memory card.
Wired IR Input provides a wired connection
for control from an external device.
3D Ready (DLP Only) This feature allows the
ability to be immersed in your favorite video
game, movie or sporting event. As more content
becomes available in 3D, this functionality will
develop into one of the most exciting HDTV
experiences. The 3D Glasses Emitter jack on
the back panel outputs timing pulses for the
optional 3D glasses that are used when viewing
3D programmed content.
AMX Device Discovery interfaces the TV
with an AMX Controller to make it simpler and
faster than ever to program and control devices
almost immediately upon plug-in.
RS 232C allows external RS-232C control
communication.
Reliability and Serviceability Technologies
Reduction in the number of PWBs. The main
chassis is made up of only the PWB-POWER
and PWB-MAIN. Note: LCD models that
have Internet Connectivity have two more
boards, PWB-ML POWER and PWB-NET/
ML.
The number of screws in both the cabinet and
chassis construction have been reduced again
this year.
The different types of screws have been
minimized.
Mirror Area Access Portholes have been
carried over to simplify cleaning.
82 Rear Mirror Access Panel
Electronic geometry correction includes top
and bottom correction for 16:9 shaped pictures
and side correction for displaying 4:3 shaped
pictures (starting with V39).
Engine replacement procedure is simplified
by reducing the number of screws used in the
Duct Assembly.
LED diagnostics includes a history log to
aid in identifying the cause of intermittent
problems (starting with V39).
Color Filter Wheel is replaceable (starting
with V39).
Optical Lens is replaceable (starting with
V41).
All Electrical Connectors lock in place to
prevent loose connections.

New User Interface
Mitsubishis 2009-2010 product line has been designed
to be easier than ever for the customer to operate. The
entire TV user interface has been simplified including:
The Remote Control
The Front (or Side) Panel Controls
Front LEDs and Operational Indications
The TV Operating Software
While the improvements in the customer side of the in-
terface will make operation easier, it also means there
are changes in the service interface. The changes will
require technicians that are used to servicing previous
year models to become familiar with the differences. This
section will give an overview of the differences.
Remote Control
A new Remote Control is being introduced this year. It
is smaller, lighter and has fewer buttons than previous
versions. Some of the buttons for lesser used functions
have been eliminated. However, they are still acces-
sible by using a clever two button procedure. Some
buttons now use icons to indicate their function and other
buttons have been renamed to give their use a better
description. The new remote is shown in Figure 1.
Functions that are not assigned specific buttons on the
remote are accessed by first pressing the MORE but-
ton. When the MORE button is pressed, the TV will

signed to each key on the numeric keyboard of the re-
mote. The functions assigned will vary according to the
device selected to control (VCR-CABL / SAT / TV /
DVD / AUDIO). The MORE Menu for the TV mode
is shown in Figure 2.
For instance, if a customer wants to adjust the picture
shape (aspect ratio), he would first press MORE. The
MORE Menu will indicate to him that the number 0 is
now the FORMAT button. Each time he presses 0,
much the same as in previous models, the picture will
toggle through the various picture formats such a Stan-
dard, Narrow, Expand, Zoom, etc.
For service purposes, the MORE button is not used.

Remote Control For Service
Many service functions and adjustments are accessed
using the Remote Control.
Service functions and adjustments can be performed
using either the old or new version remote. However,
with several buttons having different names or labels,
the technician will need to be familiar with the differ-
ences to be able to interchange between the two.
The remote buttons associated with service that have
been changed are shown in Figure 3 with the old but-
tons name in parenthesis. For full remote instructions,
refer to the Owners Guide for TV operation and the
Service Manual for service functions and adjustments.

Front (or Side) Panel Controls
Like the remote control, the front (DLP) or side (LCD)
panel controls on the 2009-2010 TV line-up have been
simplified. Fewer buttons and new terminologies will
affect the service technician in the same way the changes
in the remote have.

ferences in terminology, navigation and interaction may
be noticed.
In order to meet Energy Star requirements of less than
1.0W power consumption in the Standby mode, the op-
erating software is not loaded (boot-up) until after a
Power-On command is given. While the Low Power
feature has been offered in the past, it was not well re-
ceived by consumers because of the extra time needed
for boot-up, over 60 seconds in some models.
The boot cycle for the new operating software is a scant
21 seconds, a period of time even the most impatient
television viewer can learn to deal with, especially in
light of the energy savings.
This leads to another item the technician
may not be used to seeing on a Mitsubishi
TV, an Hour Glass icon. Rather than load-
ing all menus and feature controls each time
the TV is powered on, they are loaded into memory
only on demand (Activity Based). That means the first
time a menu selection is made, there is a small time de-
lay while the menu data is retrieved. During this brief
period, the Hour Glass icon is displayed. After a menu
has been selected one time, there is no delay if the menu
is selected a second time.
There are other timing differences included in the new
software. Shown below are timing comparisons of the
V39 and V41 AC Connected / Power-On, Normal
Power-Off and Power-On after loss of AC while hot.
There are similar differences in the VLP39 and VLP41
without the lamp cooling requirements.

Down-to-1
High Speed Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting todays products is usually limited to
identifying a defective circuit board or sub-assembly.
Down-to-1 troubleshooting procedures are developed
to:
Require a minimum amount of time.
Require a minimum amount of test equipment.
Make an accurate diagnosis 9 out of 10 times.
User Level Resets and Initialization
As in previous models, many symptoms (customer gen-
erated or intermittent) may be resolved by performing
a reset or initialization. Many of these functions are avail-
able to the customer. Asking the user to perform these
resets may eliminate the need for a service call. If the
exact nature of a symptom is unknown, its best to have
the customer perform the most common procedures in
a specific order to minimize the number of settings that
will be affected. That order is:
1) System Reset
2) A/V Reset by Input
3) A/V Reset all Inputs
4) Initialize (User Level)
Refer to the Reset/Initialization Chart shown in Table 2-
1 for all procedures. Of course, if a user level reset
does not correct the problem, it may be necessary to
perform the Service Level Initialization as part of a ser-
vice call.

LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.
The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.
Example: If the Error Code is 23, the LED
will flash two times, pause, and then flash three
times.
Table 2-2: LED Indications
Error Codes, descriiptions and the most likely cause of
the error are listed in Table 2-3.
Note: The TV must be in Shut Down. The LED
will probably be indicating an abnormal
condition. If the TV is switched Off, AC is
removed, or a System Reset is performed, the
code automatically resets to 12 No Error.
See the Error Code Log to retrieve a history of

Down-to-1
High Speed Troubleshooting
Because the operating software used in LCD Flat Panel
is similar to the DLP product line, a lot of the trouble-
shooting procedures are similar. However, some dif-
ferences do exist. So, rather than pointing out excep-
tions, the troubleshooting section is presented in its en-
tirety.
User Level Resets and Initialization
As in previous models, many symptoms (customer gen-
erated or intermittent) may be resolved by performing
a reset or initialization. Many of these functions are avail-
able to the customer. Asking the user to perform these
resets may eliminate the need for a service call. If the
exact nature of a symptom is unknown, its best to have
the customer perform the most common procedures in
a specific order to minimize the number of settings that
will be affected. That order is:
1) System Reset
2) A/V Reset by Input
