I am trying to connect a WII to it and it won't work. Does the TV have to be set on something specific to get that input to work? Any help would be appreciated!

I've found that when I view SD programs from my TiVo S3 through my Mitsubishi LT-46231, the image is slightly stretched and cropped. I had posted details of this issue to the TiVo community forum: http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=424600&referrerid=171697 but didn't get any TiVo-specific replies that confirmed the problem. So maybe it's a Mits issue? Things to note: - If I view the TiVO using the MIts "standard" format (stretching the image horizontally to fill the screen), the cropped content shows up (even though it's stretched), so the TiVo appears to be putting the full picture out. - If I view an SD broadcast through the TiVo, and compare it to the same signal viewed directly on the Mits, the Mits view of the broadcast doesn't exhibit the same cropping issue. So my questions to you are: - Would this be a problem with how the Mits handles external sources, or a TiVO problem? - If the former, is there a way to adjust how the Mits scales and crops SD content coming in through an external source? Thanks for any help you can offer. Cheers, Mitch It may be a little late in the life of this product to try solving this problem, but I thought i’d give it a try…

These use different LCD panels and electronics, so other than the brand, they are not very similar. These settings probably wouldn’t apply, but you could give them a try an see.

And then, about a week ago, it started to happen all the time... but still only on this one particular channel. The curious thing is that it occurs both from the Antenna *AND* from the Clear QAM cable signal. Because it's occurring repeatedly only on one channel, and on both signal sources (Antenna and Clear QAM Cable), I'm pretty sure it is not a power supply problem. It feels very much like a software glitch having something to do with a variation of a particular broadcast signal. Does that make sense? Seems like a crazy theory, but there it is anyway. That said, is there a firmware upgrade for the LT-37131? If so, how do you apply it?

There is an obvious defect but I don't think they are going to admit it. I would returns these back to the place where you bought it if you're having problems with it.

Moved it to a different spot in the house. There are 2 HDMI inputs on the back of the TV. One works now and the other doesn't. I can't get any response to inputting the 2nd HDMI cable. Tried a reset and nothing worked. We are running Satellite HD-DVR into one input and trying to hook a Panasonic DVR into the other. DVR is not displaying picture. Sound WAS working but now the input is totally unresponsive. Any help? Thanks! We have a Mitsu LT-46231. Moved it to a different spot in the house. There are 2 HDMI inputs on the back of the TV.

In fact, the TV was off at least 1 hr prior before moving the TV (TV was cold). After repositioning the TV I then turned it on, it did not turn on. I moved the power cord going into the base of the set, after moving the cable around, the TV started to work. I think my problem is the power cord going into the bottom of the base of the TV is loose or not making a good electrical contact. If the TV goes out again I will move the power cord around or else take the cover off the back of the TV to see if there is a visual loose connection. All,

It is a rare occurance, once a week or less. I will likely be talking to mitsubishi soon. Let me know if the repair shop finds anything. Matt, I have not done anything about it yet.
