Features & TechnologiesAn overview of the features and technologies used inthe DLP Projection and LCD Flat Panel product line isgiven below.

Video Features and Technologies:• Plush1080p® The native resolution for all

DLP Projection and LCD Flat Panel models is1080p. However they can display all video andmany computer resolutions. For resolutionsother than 1080p, the signal must be reformat-ted in order to best fill the TV screen. For asharp, clear picture, Mitsubishi developedPlush1080p™ technology. Using 12 bit digitalprocessing, it scales the picture precisely, withminimal side effects. And 1080i, currently themost common form of HDTV signal, is spec-tacular at 1080p. The conversion is precise,resulting in previously unachievable detail andclarity. In short, Plush1080p technology makeseverything else look better on a 1080p HDTV.

• Tru1080p™ Processing maintains 1080p highdefinition signals as 1080p from beginning toend. All 1080p HDMI™ and 1080p Broad-cast signals are passed through with no downconversions. The advancements of 1080p DLPtechnology for HDTV viewing deliver over 2million pixels to you on-screen for a full and true1920 x 1080 resolution. With Mitsubishi 1080pDLP® HDTVs, you can experience the bestthat high definition has to offer today and beready to enjoy all of the 1080p sources that areon the horizon.

• Color 4D Video Noise Reduction usesadvanced algorithms to better identify videonoise from fine detail and correct the signalrather than distort it. Video noise is caused bydistortions in the video signal and makes thepicture look grainy or snowy. As signal resolu-tions improve with the introduction of DVD,digital cable/ satellite and HDTV, the loss ofsharpness produced by most noise reduction

circuits becomes more noticeable. Mitsubishi’sadvanced 4D Video Noise Reduction correctsthe image in four dimensions: horizontally,vertically, within each frame and across multipleframes to provide an image that is crystal clearand extraordinarily detailed.

• 6-Color Processor™ Mitsubishi’s 6-ColorProcessor produces brighter colors, a widerrange of colors and whiter whites.

• PerfectColor™ is an exclusive Mitsubishifeature that provides the ability to adjust theintensity of six separate colors independently ofeach other and separately for every input.PerfectColor is much more powerful thanconventional color intensity control, which canonly increase or decrease the intensity of allcolors at the same time. While not new for thisyear, PerfectColor works in conjunction withPerfecTint™ to provide the user with the mostcolor control ever.

• PerfecTint™ is another exclusive Mitsubishifeature. It provides the ability to adjust the tintof six separate colors independently of eachother and separately for every input.PerfecTint™ is much more powerful thanconventional color tint control, which can onlyshift the tint of all colors at the same time.

• DeepField™ Imager constantly adjustsbrightness and contrast for optimum settings inall areas of the picture. It can even optimizecomplex scenes containing both dark and brightareas. DeepField™ Imager analyzes 135sectors of the picture in real time. It determinesthe optimum blend of contrast and brightnesssettings within the picture using advancedMitsubishi algorithms. Based on picture analysisit dynamically adjusts for areas that are too highor low in contrast and/or too dark or brightdisplaying the best balanced picture in everyscene.

• Sharpedge™ is an edge-definition signalprocessing system. It enhances horizontal andvertical edges for stunning picture precision.

• Video Modes: Brilliant / Bright / Natural /Game The four picture video modes can beused to adjust for optimum viewing in differentroom lighting and gaming applications. Allmodes are accessible via the VIDEO key onthe remote control.

• Front and Rear HDMI™ 1.3a InputsHDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) isan uncompressed, all-digital audio/videointerface. HDMI provides an interface betweenan audio/video source, such as a set-top box,DVD player, or A/V receiver and the TV overa single cable. These inputs accept digital 480i,480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signalsplus PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMIinputs can also accept a variety of PC signalsand resolutions. These inputs support HDMI1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits), the x.v.Colorextended color gamut and the use of CECcontrol signals. Mitsubishi recommends theuse of category 2 HDMI cables, also calledhigh-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI1.3 source devices. These inputs areSimplayHD™ certified for properinteroperability with other products certified bySimplay™. Used with an adapter, the HDMIinputs also accept compatible digital DVI videosignals.

• x.v.Color™ Advances in the display technolo-gies used by Mitsubishi greatly expand ourTV’s color gamut capabilities. Thanks to thesedisplay technologies, the display’s capabilitiesnow exceed those of the color signal. For thatreason Mitsubishi helped define the newstandard in high definition color. x.v.Colorenables more color than ever before for breath-taking realism and vivid, natural colors. Thisextended color gamut standard can support 1.8times as many colors as existing HDTV signals.This removes all limits on color selection.

Mitsubishi’s 2008-2009 product line canprocess and display x.v.Color signals suppliedto either the HDMI or Component inputs.

• Deep Color Another color performanceimprovement technology is referred to as DeepColor. As defined, Deep Color offers 10- bit,12-bit or 16-bit color depth. Using a higher bitrate allows more accurate reproduction of theoriginal color signal.

Additional benefits include…• Reduction or elimination of artifacts

known as posterization or contouring thatresult in color bands when gradual colorchanges occur.

• Less signal degradation during signalprocessing such as scaling and gamma.

• Increased contrast ratios and better colordetail.

Mitsubishi’s product line has 12-bit per color(36 bit) signal processing. Higher bit ratesresult in smoother color transitions.

• Dark Detailer™ (DLP only) is a Mitsubishiexclusive technology that uses a dynamicaperture system to add depth and texture to thepicture. Dark Detailer improves contrast ratioby more than four times, giving you a widearray of colors and shades that are essential foroptimal viewing of dark, dramatic scenes whilealso providing maximum brightness.

• Smooth120Hz™ (DLP Only) reduces motionblur in action scenes but may show pixelstructure during slower motion or in still images.When Off, standard picture smoothing process-ing is employed

• Lamp Power (DLP only) For 2008-2009, allDLP models will have a 180W lamp with twomodes of operation, Standard, 156W andBright, 180W.

• 10 Bit LCD Panel (LCD Only) has the abilityto deliver 64 times the level of colors than 8-bitpanels. The result is a smoother transitionbetween colors.

• Full Spectrum Color™ (LCD only) results in25% more color than standard LCD. Reds andyellows become brighter and more vivid, andthere are more available shades of Green,Cyan, and Blue. Mitsubishi uses a wider rangeof phosphors in its backlight system for a richer,fuller spectrum of colors. To fully utilize thisadded color range, Mitsubishi also recalibratedits color and brightness settings. The resultingpicture quality adds realism to yellow sunlight,blue skies and crimson sunsets.

• Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion (LCD Only)makes fast-moving images appear smootherand more fluid, free from motion blur. Thisfeature doubles the traditional progressive scanframe rate and creates new frames of videobetween the traditional frames to smoothmoving images. Smooth120Hz Film Motionalso smooths film judder (image vibration) thatmay be present in film-based content such asmovies. The Diamond series includes VariableSmooth Film Motion™.

Other Features and Technologies• Easy Connect™ simplifies set-up and day-to-

day use. During set up, when an external deviceis plugged in, the TV recognizes each input as itis connected. The TV then prompts the user toname the device, and enters it into the DeviceMenu. The Device Menu then only shows usedinputs.

• CEC Control Signals - Mitsubishi’s newNetCommand for HDMI 1.3a uses industrystandard CEC control signals to provide controlof other compatible devices such as DVDplayers.

• NetCommand® IR - This exclusive Mitsubishifeature provides the user with a true one–remote control home theater system for analogproducts. NetCommand IR® provides on-screen control of analog-connected productssuch as your AV receiver, DVD player, satellitereceiver, 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.It’s capable of learning most IR remote controlcodes from standard home theater products,rather than relying on a preprogrammed libraryof codes.

• Front USB Input - For viewing photographsup to 5 mega pixels using a USB memory cardor USB Card Reader.

• Wired IR Input provides a wired connectionfor control from an external device.

• 3D Ready (DLP Only) This feature allows theability to be immersed in your favorite videogame, movie or sporting event. As more contentbecomes available in 3D, this functionality willdevelop into one of the most exciting HDTVexperiences. The 3D Glasses Emitter jack onthe back panel outputs timing pulses for theoptional 3D glasses that are used when viewing3D programmed content.

• CableCARD™ (LCD Only) A slot on theback panel allows the customer to receiveanalog and digital SD / HD cable programmingwithout the need for a cable box. This directconnection produces the best quality picturepossible as well as enabling simple systemcontrol.

• TV Guide® Daily (LCD Only) is an easy-to-use, 24-hour program guide with channellistings from RF sources (either antenna ordirect cable).

Part 1 - DLP

Power SupplyThe main Power Supply circuitry is on PWB-POWERand is similar to last years Power Supply. A simplifieddiagram of the Power Supply circuitry is illustrated inFigure 2-1.

The initial Standby Supplies generated on PWB-POWERare:

• 21VA – the power source the Audio Outputcircuitry, increase from 18VA in last yearsmodels.

• 12VSL – the source for the 12V Engine supplyand the source for the supplies generated on thePWB-MAIN.

The Ballast 340V supply is also on PWB-POWER. TheLAMP-RELAY command activates the 340V supply.Initial current for the supply is limited by R9A02 in serieswith the AC source. The LAMP-RELAY command ap-

plied to Q9A08 is delayed slightly by C9A47. After thedelay relay K9A21 closes, removing R9A02 from thecircuit.

DC/DC SuppliesThe additional Power Supplies generated on the PWB-MAIN are shown in Figure 2-2. The supplies are DCto DC supplies, all generated from the 12VSL from thePWB-POWER. These supplies include:

• 30V, tuning voltage supply for the Tuner.• 5VSL & STBY 5VS• 9VS• 3.3VS, 3.3V, & 1.2VS, supplying power to

most of the circuitry on the PWB-MAIN.• 5V, for the 3D External Game connection

NOTE: The supplies activated by the STBY com-mand are not active when the TV is Off in the LowPower Mode.

Video Signal PathThe Video Signal Path can be divided into analog anddigital source video paths.

Analog Video Signal PathFigure 2-3 illustrates the Analog Video path in the V39chassis. Analog source signal selection circuitry is nowon the PWB-MAIN. IC2J01 selects the desired signalsource. The possible analog sources are:

• Broadcast or cable signal from the Tuner.• Composite or S-Video (Y/C) video from a rear

External Video Input.• Component format signals from a front or rear

Component Input.

Component format signals are the source, the signalsconverted to digital in IC7E01 and then directed to theIC7G00.

When the source is composite video or S-Video (Y/C),signals are directed to the CORE IC8001, and internallyare processed by an A/D Converter. The digital signalsare then processed by a 3DYC Comb Filter and NTSCDecoder. The resulting digital component signals are con-verted to analog, output from the CORE IC8001 andapplied to A/D Converter IC7E01.

The digital output of IC7E01, either the component sig-nals from IC2J01 or the component signals from IC8001,are applied to the SPA3, IC7G00. IC7G00 processesthe video and color signal, performs noise reduction, linedoubling and converts the signals to 1080p.

Part 1 - DLP

Digital Video Signal PathThe Digital Video signal path is illustrated in Figure 2-4.A digital source is selected by circuitry on the PWB-MAIN. It may be an HD signal from:

• the Tuner• one of the rear HDMI inputs• the HDMI front input

HD digital signals from the Tuner are processed inIC8001 and directed in a 656 digital format to IC7G00.The other digital sources possible are HDMI inputs, thereare three in the rear of the TV and in V39+/V39++models one in the front.

IC2101 selects the source from any of the rear HDMIinputs. IC2001 is the HDMI Processor and also se-lects either the signal from IC2101 or the front HDMIinput. The output of IC2001 is directed to IC7G00 forsignal processing and conversion to 1080p. The outputfrom IC7G00 is processed by IC7C00 generating DVIdrive for the Optical Engine.

There are changes in the Digital Video path in the V39chassis from last years models. The changes are due tothe change in the features offered, and a new ASIC SPA3IC.

• No Double Window display is featured.• There are no 1394 inputs• 120Hz smooth picture circuitry is in IC7G00.

Figure 2-5: V39 Sound Signal Path

Audio Signal PathAnalog Audio Source PathFigure 2-5 illustrates the audio signal path. The audiosignal path is the same for all three chassis types. IC2J01selects an analog signal source, from the Tuner or one ofthe External Inputs.

The selected analog audio signal is converted to digital inIC3A01 and is processed further in IC8001. The out-put from IC8001 is processed in IC3P01 and convertedto analog in IC3D03. The analog signal is directed overtwo paths:

1) To IC2J01 as a source for the AVR Outputs.2) Is amplified in IC3E02 and directed to the TV’s

speakers.

Digital Audio Source PathThe digital audio source can be a HD signal from theTuner or from one of the HDMI inputs. Digital signalsfrom the Tuner are processed in the CORE IC, and out-put as an I2S serial format signal that is converted toanalog and directed to the TV’s speakers. The COREIC also outputs the signal in an SPDIF format and di-rects it to the Digital Audio Output jack.

When the source is an HDMI input, the signal is pro-cessed in IC2001 and is output in an I2S format anddirected to the CORE IC as a source for the set’s speak-ers. IC2001 also outputs the signal in the SPDIF formatas a source for the Digital Audio Output jack.

Figure 2-6: Overall Control Circuitry

V39 Overall Control CircuitryThe Overall Control Circuitry can be condensed to asingle block diagram, as shown in Figure 2-6. The TVμPC (IC7A01) and DM μPC (in IC8001) communicatewith each other through IC8307 and IC8312.

The TV μPC receives user commands from the FrontPanel and the Remote Control. Serial data lines fromthe TV μPC control:

• Signal Select circuitry and the Main A/D Con-verter are controlled by the SDA and SCLlines.

• Optical Engine is controlled by the ENG- SDAand ENG-SCL lines.

• The LED Blaster output. (V39+ Only). This isalso the input for a wired remote connection.

The DM μPC is in the CORE IC, IC8001. ThroughIC8312 it controls IC7G00 the SPA3 IC, and via theI2C DATB and I2C CLKB lines, controls the:

• Tuner• HDMI• Audio

NOTE: IC2E01 generating SYS5 IR blaster drive isonly used in the V39+ chassis.

The E2PROM back up memory that was on PWB-TERMINAL last year is now in the Optical Engine.

Figure 2-7: Input/Output Auto Detect Circuit

Auto Input SensingThe Auto Input Sensing circuitry is illustrated in Figure2-7. Analog inputs, Video, S-Video (Y/C) and Compo-nent inputs are sensed by an internal switch in the jacks.The switches are located in Video, S-Video (Y/C) andComponent Y jacks. The front panel V/Y input is usedas a video input and as the Component Y input.

To indicate if the Front Panel inputs are connected to acomponent signal source, an additional switch is used inthe Pb input jack, YUV-SW. The logic from the V/Y-SW indicates when the Front Panel inputs are used, andthe logic from the Pb-SW indicates whether or not thesource is a component signal.

The analog signal sensing switches are connected to in-put on IC2J01 and the data is sent to the TV μPC,IC7A01, over the SDA data line.

The External Digital inputs are the three HDMI inputs onthe rear of the TV and, a front panel HDMI input in theV39+ chassis. When connected to an HDMI source,the source places 5V at pin 18 of the HDMI connector.This voltage is connected to specific inputs on the TVμPC, indicating when an HDMI input is being used.

The Auto Sensing Feature also senses if a unit is con-nected to the Digital Audio Output (SPDIF). An internalswitch in the jack is connected to pin 60 of IC7A01 andindicates this output is being used.

Figure 3-6: Ballast Connections Location

Ballast ProblemsIf the TV does not come on, and the resulting Error Codeis 57, it indicates a Ballast problem. In previous modelsyou could determine if the Ballast was working by listen-ing for arcing when power was applied. There is no arcgap in the new Ballast circuitry so an arcing sound can-not be used to determine if the Ballast is functioning.

Before ordering a new Ballast check all connections andvoltages to the Ballast. Figure 3-5 shows the connec-tions to the Ballast. Check for 5V at pin 3 of CJ3 and340V betwwn pins 1 and 5 of CJ1. If both voltages are

Figure 3-5: Ballast Connections

present check for a postive pulse at pin 4 of CJ3 whenpower is applied.

Neither the Ballast nor the Engine have to be removed toaccess the CJ3 and CJ1 connectors on the BALLASTPWB. Figure 3-6 shows the location of both connec-tors, and the red wire connecting to CJ3 pin 1.

Check the 5V and 340V sources if they are missing. If apossitive pulse does not occur at pin 1 of CJ3 the Enginemay be at fault.

Engine Protect CircuitryProblems detected by the Engine Protect circuitry areindicated by the following Error codes.

• 36 – Exhaust Fan failure.• 37 – Engine DMD Fan failure• 38 – Lamp temperature abnormally high.• 39 – DMD temperature abnormally high.• 42 – Sirocco Fan failure.

The Engine Protect circuitry is illustrated in Figure 3-12.If the Error Code indicates a fan failure, check that fan’sconnector and the power source voltage at that connec-tor.

The connectors are:• Exhaust Fan – connector J4• DMD Fan – connector J5• Ballast Fan – connector J8

The locations of the fan connectors are shown in Figure3-3.

An excessive Lamp or DMD temperature indication,with no fan failure is probably caused by poor air circu-lation. Make sure there is no air blockage. It could be adefective or disconnected Temperature Sensor, checkthe J3 connector.

Part 2-Chapter 2Circuitry Block Diagrams

The block diagrams for the 2008 LCD models are simi-lar to last years LCD models, but there are differences.The diagrams are included as a reference and to pointout those differences. They include:

• Figure 2-1: Power Supply• Figure 2-2: DC/DC Supplies• Figure 2-3: Video Signal Path• Figure 2-4: Sound Signal Path• Figure 2-5: Projected Sound Circuitry• Figure 2-6: Overall Control circuitry• Figure 2-7: Input/Output Auto Detect

Circuitry• Figure 2-8: Short Detect Circuitry• Figure 2-9: System 5/Wired Remote I/O

There were three major PCBs in last years models,PWB’s SIGNAL, DM and POWER. The circuitry thatwas on SIGNAL and DM PWBs is now combined on aPWB-MAIN. On nearly all 2008 LCD models thereare only two major PWBs, MAIN and POWER.

The only exceptions are VLP39++ models, that havethe Projector Sound feature. On these units there is an

added PWB-SOUND to generate drive for the 16 pro-jection speakers.

FRC (Field Rate Control) was only featured on one chas-sis type last year and the circuitry was external to a ma-jor PWB. This year it is featured on all LCD models andthe circuitry in on the PWB-MAIN. The VLP39++ andVLP39+++ chassis still features CableCARD circuitry.

Even though there only two major PWBs for most LCDmodels, make sure to order the correct PWB for thatspecific model. Due to feature differences between mod-els, there are three types of PWB-MAIN, and five typesof PWB-POWER. Check the Quick Parts Referencein Part 2 Chapter 4 for a specific model’s PWB partnumber.

One new feature is included in all LCD models Controlby a Wired Remote. If NetCommand is not being used,the user may, through the On-screen menus set the TVto be controlled through a cable connection to an exter-nal device.

InitializationAs in the DLP models many problems can be solved byResetting or Initializing the TV. The procedure for acti-vating a Reset or Initialization is the same as that in theDLP models. User resets are activated by the top panelUser Control buttons, shown in Figure 3-1, or by theRemote Control.

The most common user resets are:• AV Reset (resets all user Audio and Video

settings) - with the TV on, press the toppanel FORMAT and GUIDE buttons at thesame time.

• System Reset (user changes made at the lastTV On period will be lost) - press the toppanel SYSTEM RESET button. The PowerLED will flash for approximately for 1minute. Then the TV can be turned On.

Note: Unplugging the TV and then applying power also activates the System

Reset.

• User Reset (resets all user settings exceptthe V-chip) - use the remote control andpress “MENU-1-2-3”.

Part 2 - LCDSOUND PROJECTOR

(VLP39++ models only)

Although Sound Projector is a user setup and adjust-ment, it is included in the Troubleshooting segment sinceit is a new feature and servicers should be familiar withthe setup and adjustments.

Sound Projector uses a 16 directional speakers array toproduce the surround sound effect without using directconnections to external speakers. The sound from theset’s 16 speakers is directed to the listener and the wallsin the room. Sound reflected off the walls is directed tothe listener. The listener hears the reflected sound (offthe wall) from a different directions, producing a sur-round sound effect.

Figure 3-3 illustrates the sound paths in the room to gen-erate the surround sound effect. In this case the TV iscentered on one wall and the listener is directly in front ofthe TV. Sound from the TV is directed over 5 paths tothe listener.

1) From the TV directly to the listener.2) From the TV to the wall on the left and then

deflected to the listener.3) To a point further from the TV on the left wall, to

the rear wall and then to the listener.4) Step 2 and 3 are duplicated on the right wall.

The combined effect is the listener hears sound directlyfrom the TV, from the right and left sides of the TV, andfrom the right and left sides at the rear of the room or inother words surround sound.

Not all TVs will be positioned in the center of a wall,the listener may not be directly in front of the TV andthe angle of the right and left side paths depend on:

• The room size• Location of the TV• Distance between the TV and the listener.
