Frequently Asked Questions - WD-52825 MITSUBISHI

How do I use the built-in TV Disc (Personal Video Recorder)?
The TV Disc is a 120GB hard drive inside the TV. You can record digital and analog programs from ANT-1, ANT-2, inputs, or IEEE 1394 devices. Press REC on the remote to set up recordings or use the Record List. Live TV can be paused with PAUSE. Recordings can be archived via IEEE 1394.
How do I connect an HDMI or DVI device?
Use the HDMI/M-Link input on the back panel. For DVI, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable, and connect the DVI device's analog audio to the DVI Analog Audio inputs. The HDMI input supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i formats and is HDCP compliant.
How do I clean the TV and maintain the filter?
Unplug the TV before cleaning. Use a lightly dampened cloth; no liquid or abrasive cleaners. The air filter should be cleaned regularly: open the filter cover, remove the filter, vacuum or wash gently, and reinstall. The front STATUS LIGHT will blink if the filter is dirty.
How do I replace the lamp?
When the lamp reaches end of life, the LAMP light will turn yellow or red. Purchase a replacement VIP lamp (order from Mitsubishi). Turn off and unplug the TV, open the lamp cover (at the back), remove the old lamp cartridge, insert the new one, and close the cover. Reset the lamp timer via the menu if needed.
What is NetCommand and how do I set it up?
NetCommand is a home network control system that allows the TV to control other A/V devices via IR emitters or IEEE 1394. During Initial Setup, you specify the brands and models of connected devices and assign inputs. The system can learn remote codes for devices not in its memory. Use the Edit NetCommand menu to add or change devices later.
What is CableCARD and how do I use it?
CableCARD is a security module from your cable provider that replaces a set-top box. Insert the card into the CableCARD slot on the back panel (with the arrow facing up). The TV will display an activation screen with information to give your cable provider. CableCARD allows you to receive digital and premium channels without a separate box.
How do I reset the TV if it becomes unresponsive?
Press the SYSTEM RESET button on the front control panel using a pointed object (like a paperclip). The TV will turn off and the TIMER light will flash for about one minute. After it stops, you can turn the TV back on. Some recent settings may be lost, but previously saved ones remain.
How do I use PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and POP?
Press the PIP/POP button on the remote to cycle through PIP and POP display modes. Use PIP DEVICE to select the source for the secondary image. EXCH swaps the main and secondary pictures. The ADJUST buttons move the PIP window. PIP works with inputs 1-3, component, and antenna sources.
How do I set the Sleep Timer?
Press the SLEEP button on the remote. Each press increases the time by 30 minutes up to 120 minutes. The timer will display briefly. To cancel, press SLEEP until OFF appears. The TV will turn off automatically when the timer expires.
Why is the fan running even when the TV is off?
Some internal circuits remain active when the TV is off to support features like instant-on and standby recording. A low-power standby fan runs to cool these circuits. This is normal. Ensure proper ventilation around the TV to avoid overheating.

natural_image Silhouette of a person climbing a ladder inside a circular frame (no text or symbols)

Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings or allow them to be obstructed by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator or heat register. If the TV is to be placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

8. Power Source

This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

9. Grounding or Polarization

This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

10. Power-Cord Protection

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the TV.

11. Lightning

For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, continued

12. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

13. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

14. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the TV.

15. 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.

16. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
(c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
(d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
(e) If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
(f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

18. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

19. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repair to the TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

Special Features

Your new High Definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:

High Definition DLP™ Display System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing™ technology. This TV is truly a high performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both stunning high definition video images and clear detailed high resolution PC images. Your TV is able to accept video signals in the standard video scanning rates of 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. It is also able to accept signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768). When using a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also able to accept the custom PC resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). All signals will be converted to 720p for final display.

TV Disc Internal Personal Video Recorder (PVR)

TV Disc is an internal 120GB high definition hard disk drive recorder (also called a personal video recorder or PVR). It is able to record digital and analog programs received from CableCARD™ channels, Antenna 1, Antenna 2, devices connected to Input 1, 2, 3 or IEEE 1394 devices. This exciting feature may record as much as 12 hours of high definition TV programming and includes live TV pause with instant replay. Now you can record a high definition program and watch it later without any picture quality loss and without a VCR. Recordings on the TV Disc can be sent by IEEE 1394 to D-VHS VCRs or to other IEEE 1394 compatible TVs. When recording analog programs, TV Disc will even use Dolby Digital Record to convert the analog stereo to high quality digital stereo compatible with Dolby Digital decoding surround receivers.

Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability information and service details.

NetCommand® Home Network Control System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking to combine selected older products with new and future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy protection and IR control of selected older products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes or satellite receivers. NetCommand includes the ability to learn remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to customize the NetCommand system in a way that works best for your viewing.

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.

Media Cards

You can display a slideshow of your favorite JPEG pictures or listen to MP3 or WMA audio selections that have been recorded on compatible media cards.

Front Control Panel

The buttons on the Front Control Panel highlighted in gray are duplicated on the remote control. The top row of labels show the control functions when there are no TV menus displayed on the screen. The bottom row of labels show the control functions when the TV menus are displayed on the screen or when a special function has been activated. See Remote Control Overview, for further details on the functions of these buttons.

ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.

Your primary viewing signal source should be connected to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view premium subscription cable TV service authorized by the CableCARD™ access card. The CableCARD access card is provided by your local cable company. ANT-2 AUX can receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.

2. CableCARD™ Slot

The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card should face in the direction the CARD TOP arrow indicates.

CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 20 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.

If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided and authorized by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.

3. Input-DTV

YPbPr/RGB HV (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

This input is used to connect an external DTV receiver, and can be configured for YPbPr or RGB plus H&V signal types. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.

4. Component-1, -2 Inputs

YPbPr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with component video outputs, such as a DVD player, external HDTV receiver or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.

5. Input-1, -2; Monitor Output (Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)

Input 1 and 2 can be used for the connection of a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver or other A/V device to the TV. Please note that if S-VIDEO and VIDEO are available for the input, you must choose to connect only one. They cannot both be connected at the same time.

The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals from the antennas or inputs to an A/V receiver or other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR.

7. DTV Link™/IEEE1394

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Three jacks (one on the front panel and two on the back) are provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

8. IR Emitter-NetCommand®

Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite receivers and audio receivers.

9. DVI Analog Audio

Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI.

M-Link(MonitorLink™) is a Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for the display of high quality digital video signals from Mitsubishi products, such as the HD-6000 HDTV Receiver/Controller.

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high definition digital video formats and existing digital multi-channel audio formats.

Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition receiver or DVD player. This input supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i

video formats. It is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions.

This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable will be necessary to make this connection and may be available from your local electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left and right audio from your DVI device.

This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

11. M-Link/RS-232C Control

A digital control interface that works in conjunction with M-Link. While M-Link provides the digital video signal, the RS-232 control provides enhanced functioning such as automatic power ON/OFF and input port selection with an external control system. For RS-232C command protocol please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

12. Digital Audio Output

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver's coaxial digital audio input. The output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device, except when using the TV Disc, which converts analog audio to digital. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog sound to your A/V receiver.

Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can damage speakers. For this reason, the TV will automatically turn off the digital audio output when tuned to a channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and right audio from Monitor Output.

Connecting External Devices & NetCommand® Setup

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV's memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also assigns preset TV and A/V receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and video) and to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.

CableCARD™ Technology

CableCARD Technology

CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows your TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. It also allows your cable provider to automatically update and change your subscription. When you move to a new cable provider's area, you simply return the CableCARD to the original cable provider and get a new card from your new cable provider.

Please note that CableCARD is a new technology and your local cable provider may not currently be offering this service. As time passes, this system will become broadly supported by most cable providers.

The CableCARD system is “unidirectional” which means your cable provider can send updates to the access card and TV, however, the TV cannot send back signals such as requests for Video-On-Demand or Pay-per-View programs by remote control.

Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD will be available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. Some digital channels or programs may not be copied or recorded because of copy restriction limits set by the content owners or copyright holders.

The digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A security card (CableCARD) provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable operator's enhanced program guide and data-enhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable operator.

Please see page 19 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.

Using a CableCARD

After inserting a CableCARD into the TV back panel CableCARD slot and powering On the TV, the initialization process begins. An initial screen will automatically display for a few minutes, with information that your Cable Provider will need in order to start service. Please write down this information before calling your cable provider.

Please call XYZ Cable

at xxx-xxx-xxxx to

activate cable service.

They will need these numbers:

Host ID X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

CableCARD™ ID: X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

See owner's manual for

further information

An example of an initial screen is shown here. Your screen will display specific information from your cable provider and may not look like this screen.

If you were unable to record the information, you can press TV MENU on the remote and then enter the number 999 and the screen will re-display. You can also press DEVICE MENU when the CableCARD is the selected source and you will be able to select the startup application.

IMPORTANT

To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.

Connecting the IR Emitter NetCommand®

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 17

A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system to control other devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.

  1. Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.
  2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, along side or over the top of each device to be controlled to the area of the front where the remote control sensor is located.
  3. Place the emitter end in front of the remote control sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter bulb should face the remote control sensor. This bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern. The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to include the sensor.

The remote control sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible when you look through the display plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see the sensor and the device's Owner's Guide does not specify the location, you can find it by using the device's remote control. Hold the remote about 1/2 inch from the front of the device. Starting from one end of the display window plastic, press the POWER button.

If the device does not respond, move the remote control 1 inch toward the center and try again. Repeat this until the device responds. Note this location then start over from the other end of the display window plastic, repeating until the device responds again. The remote control sensor will be somewhere between these two positions. This is usually enough accuracy for the placement of the IR emitters.

  1. With some devices, the emitter will work better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.

  2. The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.

  3. If you are not going to be using all emitter ends, place the unused ends behind the devices so that they cannot send signals to the remote control sensors.

Figure 17. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand

IMPORTANT

If a single emitter end can be placed in a position that will operate more than one device, do not use a separate emitter end for the additional device. A single device receiving remote control signals from too many emitters or remote controls may not respond at all.

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with the NetCommand ^® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types of digital video, such as DV video provided by some camcorders, must be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as analog video or S-Video. If the camcorder uses a compatible digital control system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the TV is viewing the analog video or S-Video signals.

2. Digital Audio Signals

When received with video signals, the TV is able to decode Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other types of digital audio as provided by some digital recording devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394.

The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.

3. Digital Control Signal

The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394 audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control standards.

  • EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics. However, this standard does not allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.
  • AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed to provide basic controls such as play, stop, channel selection and volume, as appropriate for the device.

Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices. For example, there may be a recording device that is also a tuning device. Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit. When you select a device on the Device Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear so you can select which sub-unit section you wish to use.

When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

  • Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.
  • Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the On position. When turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other devices.
  • Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an "S" number. The higher the number, the faster the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, the slower device should be the source and the faster device should be the sync.
  • Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.
  • This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer distances and multi-room applications. Included in the IEEE 1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b converters to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394a devices.

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices, continued

Connection Styles

There are two different connection styles that can be used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that fits your network of audio/video products.

Direct Device-To-Device Style

The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you had to individually connect each device directly to the TV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 DVD Player and then connect the 1394 DVD Player to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to add more devices to the chain. You will be able to see each video device on the TV's Device Selection Menu and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.

TV Digital DVD Digital VCR

Hub Connection Style

The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect your devices using the TV as a hub within the audio/video network. Each device can send information, which may include audio and video, to any other device in the network.

MITSUBISHI WD-52825 - Hub Connection Style - 1

4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors

There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin style.

MITSUBISHI WD-52825 - 4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors - 1
4 pin connector
The 4-pin connector sends digital audio signals, digital video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices. Your TV has three 4-pin type connection jacks available. One is on the front panel and two are on the back.

MITSUBISHI WD-52825 - 4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors - 2
6 pin connector

The 6-pin connector is capable of sending the same digital audio, video and control signals as the 4-pin connector, but the 6-pin connector is also able to send low voltage electrical power. This TV does not have 6 pin connectors.

The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to provide the needed operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector can send this electrical power to another device, or receive electrical power from another device, or simply use a 6-pin connector without using the two additional pins.

MITSUBISHI WD-52825 - 4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style Connectors - 3
6 pin to 4 pin adaptor

A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device, you will need to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor or adaptor cable. These cables are available from electronic and computer stores.

When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder) to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device) you will need to connect the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the camcorder's battery for power. If this is not possible, then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power.

Connecting: Helpful Hints

Q My VCR (or other device) does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs. How can I connect this device's audio to both the TV and the A/V Receiver?

A. There are two solutions:

  1. Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only. Use Edit NetCommand® to change the setup of this device. In the Connection screen of "Change" make sure both audio and video for the TV input are checkmarked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device's audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details.

  2. Use RCA type "Y" splitter cables to split the device's audio output to be connected to both the TV and the A/V Receiver.

Q. I have both the TV monitor stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designation on my A/V Receiver. How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio?

A. This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when a digital audio signal is supplied. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched by remote control. For these types of A/V Receivers, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of these features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V Receiver.

Q. The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control sensor of the A/V Receiver. What can I do?

A. There are several possible solutions.

  1. Mount the IR Emitter on the top, front edge of the A/V Receiver over the remote control sensor. Use tape to secure it in place.
  2. Mount the IR Emitter on the underside of the shelf above the A/V Receiver (if the A/V Receiver is in a cabinet). Use double sided tape to secure it in place.
  3. Some small stick-on emitters from other manufacturers may be compatible with this TV's IR Emitter jacks. These may be used instead of the supplied IR Emitters.

Q. I occasionally need to see the menu from my A/V Receiver. How can I connect it to the TV for this purpose?

A. You can connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the TV. Then use Edit NetCommand to "Add" this as an "Other" device, not an A/V Receiver. On the "Connection" screen, indicate which TV input was used and checkmark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not checkmarked. You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu. You can also use Input 3 (Camcorder) on the front panel.

Q. I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would like to be able use as well. Is there any way to connect this receiver both ways?

A. Yes, this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu. Just add this unit once using the Input-DTV and once using one of the S-video inputs. Make sure you indicate that this is the same manufacturer for both. We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S-video to the TV so that you do not need to use two inputs on the A/V Receiver. If this is a NetCommand compatible HDTV receiver and HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of this feature.

Using the Remote Control with NetCommand®

Below is a list of several manufacturers devices tested and shown to be compatible with NetCommand. These devices can be controlled without changing the setting of the remote control from TV to another product. NetCommand may be able to operate additional models since many manufacturers use the same control signals to operate some or all of the models they offer. This chart lists only the models that have been tested with NetCommand. The NetCommand Learning feature is able to learn the remote control signals of most Audio Video devices. For devices not listed in the table, or if your device does not operate using the same remote control as the models listed below, use the learning feature by selecting "Other" at the [Device] screen. See the Edit NetCommand section of this Guide.

NOTE: There are many different types of remotes and not all of them may be compatible with the learning feature. Bright light near the TV screen can also adversely affect the learning feature. If it is not possible to learn a device, you will need to use the original remote control of the device, or program the TV remote to operate these devices in the traditional manner.

IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand® Control

See pages 30-31 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles. The TV is not able to control IEEE 1394 devices that use other types of control protocols. Incompatible digital audio, video and/or control information will still be able to pass from one device through the TV to another device on the network. These incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand menu.

NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the "Learn" Feature.

Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite receivers will not have compatible digital control signals or require the use of the device's own remote control. Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display on-screen information through the IEEE 1394 connection and will require using an analog connection for on-screen displays. In many cases, to control these digital devices, the Learning feature of NetCommand can be used.

  1. Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device's remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 29).
  2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 51) use ADJUST and ENTER to check mark the Analog Connection box.
  3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 52) of DBS or similar tuning device.
  4. If desired, using the ADJUST buttons enter a custom Name on the Name screen (Figure 18, page 46).
  5. At the Device screen, Select "Other" as a manufacturer and then highlight "Learn" and press Next (Figure 4, page 52).
  6. Follow the device learning instructions found on the screen(s) or in the Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
  7. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 52) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs.
  8. Proceed with the Finish screen.

This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices.

Note: When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections, the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice. The first press of GUIDE will display the TV's digital channel guide. The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered On, the new device will automatically announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce their presence to the TV. The TV will not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection menu, however, they can coexist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices.

IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/DBS/DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation.

New 1394 Device Screen

Figure 1 When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting “Add” will include the device in the Device Selection menu. Selecting “Do Not Add” will not add the device to the Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394 device does not provide audio and video, you may not want to add that device to the TV’s Device Selection menu. Devices that were discovered but not added to the Device Selection menu will still be listed in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand® menu.

TV Pause is a special feature of the internal TV Disc personal video recorder (PVR). TV Pause is available for CableCARD™, Ant-1, Ant-2, IEEE 1394 input and tuning devices (cable boxes or satellite receivers connected to Inputs 1,2 or 3).

This feature allows you to press PAUSE to "pause" live TV. You can then search backwards or forwards through the current TV program. When you pause the TV program, an on-screen slider will show approximately how far and in which direction(s) you can search.

TV Pause has three settings:

- On Request: TV Pause is in the standby mode until you press PAUSE for the first time after turning on the TV, or after a channel or device change. There will be a few seconds delay before a paused picture appears. During this pause, you will not be able to scan or skip backwards in the TV Program. Later uses of TV Pause while in the same program, will allow reverse scan or skip of the available TV program as shown on the slider. The TV Pause will return to the standby mode automatically when you change the channel or device. The PIP/POP features are available only when TV Pause is in the standby mode and not enabled.

If multiple recording devices are available in NetCommand, this setting allows you to choose the device to use when recording digital programs. A digital recording can be made on either a digital or analog device although the quality will not be as good if recorded on an analog device. For best playback quality, record digital programs on a digital recording device.

If multiple devices were not connected and then added in the NetCommand setup, this setting will be unavailable (grayed out). Analog recordings can only be made on the one analog device connected to Monitor Out (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page 55).

When V-Chip ratings are sent, you will see the ratings when you change the channel or when you press the INFO button on the remote control. Both TV and Movie ratings will display. TV ratings apply to programs and movies developed for TV and may have supplemental blocking by content categories. Movie ratings use MPAA ratings for movies released in theaters.

V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS:

  1. V-Chip is not effective for programs viewed on devices connected to Component input or HDMI.
  2. Videotapes, laser discs and DVDs may not contain V-Chip rating signals. If they don't contain the V-Chip signal, V-Chip cannot block the program or movie.
  3. Broadcasters are not currently required to include V-Chip rating signals at this time. If the broadcaster does not include the V-Chip rating signal, V-Chip cannot block the program.

TV Ratings:

Used with TV programs and Made-for-TV movies.

TV-Y Youth, for children under the age of 7.

TV-Y7 Youth, 7 years old and older. For children 7 years old and older.

Display Formats

This is a widescreen TV (also known as a 16:9 TV). This shape reflects the new types of images available from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there will never be a perfect solution for displaying a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats to choose from.

Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last used format for each device will be used when you return to that device.

Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP. Side-by-Side, 3 POP and 9 POP are only available in Standard and Expand formats. PC formats vary depending on PC signal.

Signals and Formats Definitions:

480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from or through Ant-1 & 2, Inputs 1-3, Component 1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.

480p Signals: Progressive scan analog DVD signals on Ant-1 & 2, Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI.

720p & 1080i Signals: High definition analog signals received through Component-1 & 2, Input-DTV and HDMI. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3: Standard definition narrow screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard definition wide screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

HD: High definition wide screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE-1394 devices. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

Standard: This is the full screen format. HDTV signals use this format. This format is useful to display Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will still display black bars at the top and bottom, but will show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: This will enlarge the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This is useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD. Available for analog 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful to remove or reduce the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch: This format will stretch a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than the sides. This will allow the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than seen in the Standard format. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Narrow: This format will display narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and add stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast. Available for analog 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals.

DVD Definitions:

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for Widescreen TV's):

These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets in the Standard format mode. This is the recommended choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letterbox or Full Screen):

These DVDs are recorded for use with traditional shaped TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or Letterboxed which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may or may not be listed on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock:

Lock Bypass Instructions Have Been Filed for Future Reference

MITSUBISHI WD-52825 - Bypassing the V-Chip Lock: - 1

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock

After you set the lock, you need your passcode to view a V-Chip locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the lock, or enter the V-Chip Lock menus.

If you forget your passcode, you can view the locked TV without entering your passcode. This is done by pressing the number 9 and QV buttons on the TV remote control at the same time, when your passcode is requested. This process temporarily unlocks the TV.

When entering the V-Chip Lock menu, this process deletes your old passcode and prompts you to enter a new passcode. Press HOME to exit the menu.

Bypassing Front Button Lock

If you have misplaced the remote control, you can bypass the front button lock by pressing and holding the MENU button on the front panel for more than 8 seconds.

IMPORTANT

Cut along the dotted line and file bypass instructions in a safe place for future reference.

IMPORTANT

When changing or deleting your passcode, you must use the remote control included with this TV. You cannot use a Mitsubishi remote control from another component or a "universal" remote.

Net command® IEEE 1394 System Compatibility:This television is designed to conform to IEEE 1394 AV/C Software standards in effect at the time of development. This exciting new networking and control technology is designed to provide high-performance digital connections and product control, making the product easier to use.Mitsubishi D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV in audio, video and control. Many DV camcorders that have IEEE 1394 connections will be compatible with the control features of this TV, but not compatible with the audio or video decoder.As other manufacturers distribute products that use the IEEE 1394 AV/C standards, they will be responsible for developing products that meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other products. Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these other products. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers products should be brought to the attention of those manufacturers.The HDMI input is compliant with EIA-861B standards for standard, extended and high definition video, digital audio and HDCP copy protection. However, this input is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions.

First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Top and Sides of the TV:

  • Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive cloth such as cotton flannel 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 detergent, 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.

Diamond Shield™:

- Clean with a soft non-abrasive cloth moistened with water only.

Screen behind the Diamond Shield:

  • Follow the instructions for the top and sides, however, wipe gently in an up and down motion, following the grooves in the screen.
  • Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of the screen.
  • Do not allow liquid to drip down the grooves of the screen as some liquid may enter the TV between the screen and the screen frame.
  • You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part number CLEANER-VSS, by calling (800) 553-7278.

Mitsubishi DLP™ Projection Television Limited Warranty

MITSUBISHI DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. ("MDEA") warrants as follows to the original purchaser of this television that if purchased from an authorized MITSUBISHI Audio/Video Dealer, should it prove defective by reason of against defects arising from improper workmanship and/or material:

a. Parts. The lenticular (i.e. front picture) screen and/or the Diamond Shield™ is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the original purchase at retail.. The VIP lamp and all other parts (except any software incorporated into this television) are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase at retail. We will repair or replace, at our option, any defective part without charge for the part. Parts used for replacement may be replaced with those of like kind and quality and may be new or remanufactured. Parts used for replacement are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

b. Embedded Software. MDEA warrants that all software incorporated into this television set (the "Embedded Software") will perform in accordance with the functional description of Embedded Software in all material respects, but MDEA does not warrant that the Embedded Software is error-free. MDEA also does not warrant that the Embedded Software will be compatible under IEEE 1394 AV/C and HAVi software standards with products produced by any other manufacturer. The warranty contained in this section shall continue for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase at retail.. If, after prompt notice within the warranty period, MDEA determines that the Embedded Software has failed to perform in accordance with such functional description in all material respects and if such failure is not due to accident, misuse, modification or misapplication of the Embedded Software, then MDEA shall modify or replace the nonconforming Embedded Software at no charge to you, which at MDEA's sole discretion may be fulfilled by means of modification or replacement software contained on a replacement media card for Customer installation. The foregoing shall be MDEA's sole obligation to you under this limited warranty. All rights under this limited warranty on the Embedded Software also subject to your compliance with the terms of the Software License Agreement applicable to this television, and this limited warranty on the Embedded Software shall be null and void if the Embedded Software is modified or changed in any manner except as specifically authorized by MDEA.

c. Labor. For thirty (30) days after the original purchase at retail, we will repair or replace, at our option, the lenticular screen if it proves defective. For certain items that are designed to be replaced by the consumer, including (but not limited to) the Diamond Shield™ and/or some Embedded Software, the consumer is solely responsible for any replacement labor. The VIP lamp is consumer replaceable and labor for replacement is not covered under warranty, please refer to the Owner's Guide for replacement procedures.

For all other parts, we will provide the labor for a warranty repair by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center without charge for one (1) year from the original date of purchase at retail.

d. Notice. To obtain warranty service, you must notify an authorized MITSUBISHI service center of any defect within the applicable warranty time period.

e. This DLP™ Projection Television uses a revolutionary technology, Digital Micromirror Device™, to create the screen image. This technology creates the image using small dots, or picture elements (pixels).

As in other display technology, sometimes a pixel is continuously active, inactive or the incorrect color. Our standard is clear; MDEA warrants only that the percentage of properly functioning pixels will be not less than 99.99% of all pixels.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE, please review the instruction booklet to insure proper installation and correct customer control adjustment. If the problem persists please arrange for warranty service.
