Special Features of Your TV
Your new high-definition widescreen television has 
many special features that make it the perfect center of 
your home entertainment system, including:
1080p High-Definition DLP  Display System
Your Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital 
Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection TVs 
to create the picture you see on screen. All images are 
displayed at 1080p. The TV uses Plush 1080p® 5G to 
convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display. 
The TV can also accept 1080p original signals and main-
tain them at 1080p through all processing until displayed.
3D Television
All Mitsubishi 738 and 838 1080p home-Cinema 
HDTV’s can display 3D content originating in several 
different formats. This feature lets you experience the 
new 3D technologies applied to many recent movies 
and video games. Immerse yourself in your favorite 
video game, movie, or sporting event displayed in 3D.
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.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
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 
formats of 480i, 480p, plus 720p and 1080i high-
definition signals. This provides a high level of 
flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, 
cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
• HDMI Inputs. HDMI
®
 inputs provide additional 
high-performance, high-definition connections for 
maximum flexibility in your choice of home theater 
products.  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 Deep Color (up to 36 bits) 
and the x.v.Color™ extended color gamut.
Used with an adapter, these HDMI inputs also 
accept compatible digital DVI video signals. The 
HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.
Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing automatically rec-
ognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to 
assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, 
so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can 
easily select devices by name.
Home-Theater Control
HDMI Control
All models. HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics 
Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the 
TV’s HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can 
receive control signals through the HDMI connection, 
allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some func-
tions of these devices.
NetCommand with IR Learning

of networking that seamlessly integrates selected older 
A/V products with new and future digital products.

ucts such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receiv-
ers, and VCRs. The necessary IR emitter cables are

bank of speakers to create a simulated surround sound 
effect by reflecting sound off the room walls.
