    T V Software
    •	 Do not attempt to update the software of this TV 
    with software or USB drives not provided by or 
    authorized by Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions 
    America, Inc.  Non-authorized software may damage 
    the TV and will not be covered by the warranty.
    •	Automatic software updates will be downloaded 
    over the internet to the TV if StreamTV is set up and 
    connected to the internet.  In Canada, WD-82CB1 
    users can receive automatic software updates 
    although StreamTV services will be unavailable.
    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.
    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.
    Top and Sides of the TV 
    •	 Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive 
    cloth such as cotton flannel, microfiber, 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.
    Screen
    •	 Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping 
    gently in an up and down motion.
    •	 Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of 
    the screen.
    •	 Do not allow liquid to drip down the screen, as 
    some liquid may enter the TV through the gap between the screen and screen frame.
    •	 You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, 
    part number CLEANER-VSS, by calling 
    1 (800) 553-7278.
    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 
    g e n t l y.

    NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:  THIS REMINDER IS 
    PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTEN -
    TION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES 
    GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTIC -
    ULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CON -
    NECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS

    Important Safety Instructions
    Please read the following safeguards for your TV and  retain for future reference.  Always follow all warnings 
    and instructions marked on the television.
    1)   Read these instructions.
    2)  Keep these instructions.
    3)  Heed all warnings.
    4)  Follow all instructions.
    5)  Do not use this apparatus near water.
    6)  Clean only with dry cloth.
    7)  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 
    accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
    8)  Do not install near any heat sources such as 
    radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 
    (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
    9)  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized 
    or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding 
    type plug has two blades and a third grounding  prong. The wide blade or the third prong are 
    provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
    10)  Protect the power cord from being walked on 
    or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience  receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 
    apparatus.
    11)  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
    manufacturer.
    12)  Use only with the cart, 
    stand, tripod, bracket, 
    or table specified  by the manufacturer, 
    or sold with the  apparatus. When 
    a cart is used, use 
    caution when moving  the cart/apparatus 
    combination to avoid  injury from tip-over.
    13)  Unplug this apparatus 
    during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
    14)  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
    Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or  plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has 
    been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate  normally, or has been dropped.

    Outdoor Antenna Grounding
    If an outside antenna or cable system is connected 
    to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is 
    grounded so as to provide some protection against 
    voltage surges and built-up static charges.
    Replacement Parts
    When replacement parts are required, be sure the 
    service technician has used replacement parts speci -
    fied by the manufacturer or have the same character -
    istics as the original part.  Unauthorized substitutions 
    may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
    Children and TV Viewing
    The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages televi -
    sion viewing for children younger than two years of age.

    tion of digital channels.  If you skip this step, the TV 
    can receive only analog channels .  The channel scan 
    will search for high-definition and standard-definition 
    channels available in your area.  Note:   Direct cable 
    service will not include scrambled or premium chan -
    nels.

    to fill the 16:9 screen area while 
    preserving the original aspect 
    ratio of older material not created 
    for modern HD TVs.
    •	 Your cable box, satellite receiver, 
    or other device may also have 
    controls for altering the shape
