Front Control Panel

Front Panel WS-48515, WS-55515, WS-65515, WS-65515A

Front Panel WS-55615, WS-55615A, WS-65615, WS-65615A, WS-73615

Except for SYSTEM RESET and TIMER, all of 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 page 29, for further details on the functions of these buttons. TIMER is also accessible through the menu screens. Pressing MENU on the front panel will display the TV menu.

SYSTEM RESET

If the TV will not respond to either the remote control or the front panel controls and/or will not power Off, press the SYSTEM RESET button with a pointed item like the end point of a paperclip. The TV will turn Off and the TIMER light will flash quickly for about one minute. When the TIMER light stops flashing, you may turn on the TV again. Changes you made the last time the TV was On before you used the SYSTEM RESET button may be lost, however, the changes you made previously are not lost.

POWER/TIMER Indicator

The green light is a multi-function indicator. This light will flash rapidly for about one minute each time the TV is plugged into the wall electrical outlet, when power is restored after a power failure, or using the SYSTEM RESET button. Do not attempt to turn on the TV again during this period. Wait for the flashing to stop and the light to turn off, before attempting to turn the TV on. While the TV is powered on, the light illuminates steadily. If the TV has been programmed to turn on automatically using the Timer feature, this light will flash slowly when the TV is powered off.

A/V RESET

There may be times when you wish to reset the A/V (Audio and Video) settings back to the factory defaults. To do this for an individual setting, use the Audio or Video remote control button. To return all of the settings at once, press GUIDE and FORMAT on the front panel at the same time, or use the A/V Memory Reset selection on the AudioVideo menu (page 68).

INPUT 3

This input can be used for convenient connection of a camcorder or other video device to the TV. If you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO terminal is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is available when there is no S-Video connection.

IEEE 1394 (WS-55615, WS-55615A, WS-65615, WS-65615A, WS-73615 only)

This IEEE 1394 (FireWire®) input/output allows for temporary connection of IEEE 1394 devices such as MPEG 2 camcorders or compatible hard disc drives to the front of the TV. This connection works the same way as the two rear IEEE 1394 connections.

Back Panel

1. IEEE-1394 Input/Output

Use these jacks to connect the TV to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. There are two jacks on the back panel for all models. For WS-55615, WS-55615A, WS-65615, WS-65615A and WS-73615 there is an additional jack on the front panel. IEEE 1394 connections provide a high degree of flexibility when connecting your NetCommand® controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

2. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)

ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both digital/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 continue to receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.

3. Digital Audio Output

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels, IEEE 1394 devices and HDMI™ (not DVI) signals to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver's coaxial digital audio input. This output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device. Use Monitor Ouput Audio 2 to send analog signals 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. You can enable the digital output to include MPEG-1 digital audio if your A/V receiver is capable of decoding it. See Edit NetCommand for details.

4. CableCARD™ Slot

The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. CableCARD

Back Panel, continued

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. It also allows your cable provider to automatically update and change your subscription. See pages 15, 25, and 44 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.

If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD, you will need to use an external cable box.

5. HDMI™ or DVI Devices

The HDMI ^™ interface supports uncompressed standard, enhanced and high definition digital video formats. This interface also supports existing digital multi-channel audio formats. The HDMI input supports both video and audio using one single cable. Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition receiver or DVD player. This input supports the 480i, 480p 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 (see DVI Analog Audio, below). An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor will be necessary to make this connection and can be purchased 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.

6. 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.

7. Component Inputs 1-2 YPbPr(480i/480p/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.

8. IR Output-NetCommand®

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

9. Monitor Output (Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)

The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals from the antennas or Inputs 1-3 to an A/V Receiver or other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR. Digital channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be down converted to analog signals compatible with traditional analog VCRs. There will be no video signals from digital channels or IEEE 1394 signals that have copy restrictions. There will be no video signals from Monitor Outputs when viewing the Component 1 & 2 inputs or the HDMI input

Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should be connected to your A/V Receiver for home theater surround sound.

10. Inputs 1-2

These inputs 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 you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO terminal is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is available when there is no S-Video connection.

11. SERVICE PORT

This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Warning: Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing patterns. Reducing the initial contrast level can help slow the aging process. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes.

Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:

Letterbox top/bottom black bars:

shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.

Side bar images:

solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.

News and stock-market report bars:

ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.

Shopping channel logos & pricing displays:

bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.

Video game patterns and scoreboards

Bright station logos:

moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

Online (Internet) websites:

or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images, including digital photos or computer applications/programs.

→ Closed Captioning

Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather than black or a bright color if you frequently use closed captioning.

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 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 along with compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel 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 brand 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.

Connecting the IR Emitter NetCommand®

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 13

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 VCR, 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. 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.
2. The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.
3. Place any unused emitters in an out-of-the-way location.

Figure 13. 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 IEEE 1394 Devices

4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style

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

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 two or three 4-pin type connection jacks available. All models have two inputs on the back panel. WS-55615, WS-55615A. WS-65615. WS-65615A and WS-73615 have an additional input on the front

panel.

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 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.

6 pin to 4 pin adaptor

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

If you connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a camcorder) that 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.

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. 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, select "Record Later".
• 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.

IEEE 1394 Device Connection Styles

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 DVCR 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.

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.

CableCARD™ Definition and Initial Screen Display

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 the 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 request 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 cable 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 15 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 this type of screen is shown here. Your screen will display specific information from your cable provider and may not look exactly 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.

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 Antenna 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.

NetCommand® Pre-Memorized Devices

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 you can 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.

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.

Figure 1. New 1394 Device screen

Name for 1394 Device Screen

Figure 2 If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device, the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear. Name the device or use the default name that appears automatically.

Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some DVCRs, can also operate as analog devices. For example, some DVCRs can record and play as VHS or S-VHS, in addition to D-VHS. This allows you to play analog rental tapes or analog tapes from your established library or make analog recordings from antenna or cable systems. To use the analog capability, check the Analog Connection box.

Figure 2. Name for 1394 Device screen

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically, continued

IEEE 1394 Device Type Screen

Figures 3 and 4

If the new IEEE 1394 device is also connected using analog inputs, you will need to define the device type. Select the type of device, such as a VCR. Once the device type is selected, then the Device screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be selected. If the manufacturer is listed, then you may be able to control this device while it is operating as an analog VCR. For example, if the IEEE 1394 device you have added is a Mitsubishi DVCR, and you have selected an analog connection as a second connection, then you will select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not listed, select 'Other' and use the Learn screens.

Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote control sensor, just as you have done for other NetCommand® devices. It is necessary to use the IR Emitter only when the DVCR is being used as an S-VHS or VHS VCR. When the DVCR is playing or recording digital signals in D-VHS, the TV will control the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable.

Figure 3. IEEE 1394 Device Type screen

Figure 4. Device screen

Connection Screen

Figure 5

Select the TV input that you used when you connected the video or S-Video cables. Select the input you used when you connected the stereo audio cables, either TV or A/V Receiver. The TV will learn the input names for the TV Input and A/V Receiver Input selections. If your A/V Receiver has other inputs than those listed in the menu, those other inputs are not available for NetCommand.

The playback and record control of some DV camcorders may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically, even though you must use the video or S-video cable for the picture. In this case, when you select the camcorder, be sure to select analog (not digital) from the pop up when a camcorder is selected from the Device Selection menu. Then the picture is shown via the analog connection but control is from IEEE 1394.

IEEE 1394 Devices Compatibility

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 have an on-screen display for these functions.

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.

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 22).
2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 46) check mark the Analog Connection check box.
3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 47) of cable box, DBS or similar tuning device.
4. Select "Other" as a manufacturer and then highlight "Learn" and press ENTER on the Device screen (Figure 4, page 47).
5. Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
6. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 47) follows the learning screens. For analog connections, select the correct inputs. If non using analog connections, uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV and AVR inputs.
7. Finalize your choices with the Finish screen.

This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signals 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 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.

NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections

What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?

Figure 11

A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices in your TV network to talk to each other without the further need of TV intervention once the peer-to-peer connection is established.

For example, the TV can setup a connection for an A/V Disc or DVCR that sends a recorded program to an IEEE 1394 monitor in another room. NetCommand will establish the connection between the two devices. Once the connection has been established, the TV can be turned off or used to watch another device. Recording from digital channels to a DVCR is also a peer-to-peer connection. In this case, the TV is one of the devices in the peer-to-peer connection.

Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be used for peer-to-peer connections.

Figure 11. Record screen

Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection

A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and cannot be setup as a delayed connection.

To establish a peer-to-peer connection:

1. Press REC on the TV remote.
2. Press DEVICE on the remote control to move to the Source Device section.
3. Press ADJUST ◀ or ▶ to select the source device you will record from.
4. Press ENTER to confirm selection and return to the "Record to" section.
5. In the "Record to" section, review the destination device (example: DVCR) and duration. Change if necessary.
6. Press REC a second time to initiate recording.

Confirm that the on-screen icon for the peer-to-peer connection is highlighted in the Connection Section next to the TV icon, then press CANCEL. The peer-to-peer connection will end and the destination icon will be removed. If there is more than one peer-to-peer connection for the same device, all of the connections will all be canceled.

IMPORTANT NOTES

WARNING: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for extended periods of time. Mix types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing patterns. Reducing the initial contrast level can help slow the aging process. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter boxes.

Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:

Convergence.

Your Mitsubishi TV has three picture tubes which need to be aligned to properly converge the projected light beams on the screen. Each picture tube projects a single color of red, blue or green.

During production, your TV was carefully adjusted to properly align these colors. However, moving the TV, the TV's location in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles, and the passage of time can cause these adjustments to change.

As a special feature, you have the ability to adjust the red and blue light beams in reference to the fixed green light beam. This process is called convergence. There are two separate memories for convergence. One, for SD 480i/480p signals; the other for HD 1080i signals. SD convergence should be adjusted while watching an SD source and HD convergence should be adjusted while watching an HD source.

The TV should be fully warmed up before adjusting Convergence. Turn the TV On and wait at least 30 minutes before starting adjustments.

2. Press ADJUST ▶ or ▶ to adjust the setting. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the setting display will disappear.

A/V Setting Descriptions, continued

Video Settings

◇ Contrast

Provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast shows darker images more uniformly black and makes colors appear more vibrant. In most home lighting situations, a medium contrast looks best. High contrast is good for brightly lit environments.

◇ Brightness

Provides a slider to adjust the overall brightness of the picture.

◇ Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

◇ Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

◇ Tint

Provides a slider to adjust the proportion of red to green.

◇ Color Temp (Color Temperature)

Allows you to adjust how white images are displayed. Your choices are:

• Low: White images will have a warm cast to them. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness and the TV's age.
• Medium: White images will be balanced between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

◇ Video Noise

Reduces minor noise (graininess) in the broadcast received on Ant-1 and Ant-2 or Inputs 1-3 and Component 1 and 2. Use standard with good quality signals.

◇ Film Mode (Auto) - On or Off

On is the automatic setting and will automatically detect and apply film decoding correction for signals that originated on 24 frames per second film cameras and then were converted for broadcast to 30 frames per second video.

When the original signals originated on 30 frames per second video cameras, the On setting will automatically apply video decoding, the same as used with the Off setting. Try the On setting when the TV seems to have difficulties and adds too many jagged edges to the images.

Film Mode is not effective for progressive scan (480p) devices, and high definition signals.

◇ DefinEdge VSM

Selected image outlines are emphasized, resulting in sharper images. When turned Off, the velocity scanning modulation and edge enhancer functions are prevented. The default is On.

NOTE: A slider will display on-screen for most settings. When the slider is displayed it has a numeric value, where 63 is the maximum, 31 is the mid-point and 0 is the minimum.

NOTE: For optimal picture performance, it is recommended that you adjust your video settings (specifically contrast and brightness) during initial setup. Certain factors will affect your personal preferences, including room lighting, glare reflections and viewing angles/ distance. This also slows phosphor aging. If glare or reflections affect your viewing on a continual basis, you may want to remove the Diamond Shield (please refer to pages 86-88).

Using the VIDEO Button on the Remote Control

To adjust Video settings directly with the remote control:

1. Press VIDEO to cycle through the available settings.

2. Press ADJUST ▶ or ▶ to adjust the setting. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the setting display will disappear.

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.

Format Signals:

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

480p Signals: Progressive scan analog DVD signals through signals on Component-1 & 2.

1080i Signals: High definition analog signals received through signals on Component-1 & 2.

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.

Format Definitions:

Standard: Full screen format used by HDTV signals. Also useful when displaying 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio Anamorphic DVDs. 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: Enlarge the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. Useful for reducing the letterbox top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD. Available for analog 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. Useful for removing or reducing 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: Stretches a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, with less stretch in the center than the sides. Allows 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: Displays narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and adds 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. Useful for removing or reducing black side bars on HD broadcasts of 720p, converted to 4:3 images with black bars. Available for analog 1080i, 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.

IMPORTANT

Caution should be observed when using the Narrow format due to the stationary gray side bars. Please see guidelines concerning stationary images, page 54.

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock

Lock Bypass Instructions Have Been Filed for Future Reference

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.

Appendix C: Remote Control Programming Codes, continued

IMPORTANT

Some manufacturers may change their products, or they may use more than one remote control system. If this is the case, your remote control may not be able to operate your VCR, DVD, cable box, satellite receiver, or A/V receiver.

After entering the correct codes in each position of the remote control, use the slide switch to select which product will respond when an operational button is pressed. If you enter a code from the AUDIO chart while the slide switch is set to TV, the volume and mute functions change to match the A/V receiver. This is useful when using an A/V receiver with the TV all the time. In all other cases, only one of the below devices is allowed for each slide switch position.

TV position:

TV

A/V receiver (volume and mute only)

Cable/DBS/DTV position:

→ Cable box

→ Satellite receiver

→ DTV receiver

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.

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 [phone].

Cloth speaker grills:

• Lightly brush with a soft cloth brush, or lint brush.
• If necessary, you can vacuum using the brush and hose attachments of your vacuum cleaner. Do not use the beater brush section on the grill cloth.

General Cleaning Warnings:

• 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 with ammonia, bleach, alcohol, benzine, or thinners as these can dull the surfaces.

Mitsubishi Projection TV Limited Warranty

MITSUBISHI PROJECTION TELEVISION LIMITED WARRANTY

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

a. Parts. The lenticular (i.e. front picture) screen and/or the DiamondShield™ is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 30 days. All other parts (except any software incorporated into this television) are warranted for a period of one 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 year. 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 memory 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 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. For all other parts, we will provide the labor for a warranty repair by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center without charge for one 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.

1. TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

a. Contact your nearest authorized MITSUBISHI service center whose name and address can be obtained from your MITSUBISHI dealer or by writing or calling MDEA at the address and telephone number provided below. Or use the support feature of our website at mitsubishi-tv.com.
b. Warranty service will be provided in your home or, if required, at an authorized service shop, provided that your television is located within the geographic territory customarily covered by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center. If not, you must either deliver your television to an authorized service location at your own expense, or pay for any travel and/or transportation costs the service center may charge to and from your home. Actual service labor will be provided without charge.
c. Proof of purchase date from an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer is required when requesting warranty service. Present your sales receipt or other document which establishes proof and date of purchase. THE RETURN OF THE OWNER REGISTRATION CARD IS NOT A CONDITION OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. However, please return the Owner Registration Card so that we can contact you should a question of safety arise which could affect you.
2. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER damage to Diamond Shield, Lenticular screen or Fresnel lens, screen frame, cosmetic damage or to any other product where such damage is caused by unauthorized modification, alteration, repairs to or service of the product by anyone other than an authorized MITSUBISHI service center; physical abuse to or misuse of the product (including any failure to carry out any maintenance as described in the Owner's Guide or any product damaged by excessive physical or electrical stress); any products that have had a serial number or any part thereof altered, defaced or removed; product use in any manner contrary to the Owner's Guide (including uneven picture tube aging and imprinted images on the viewing screen); freight damage; or any damage caused by acts of God or other factors beyond the reasonable control of MDEA, such as power surge damage caused by electrical system or lightning. This warranty also excludes service calls where no defect in the product covered under this warranty is found, service calls related to unsatisfactory audio or visual reception or signal unless caused by a defect in the product that is covered under this warranty, all costs, expenses or any other damages arising from product installation, or set-ups, any adjustments of user controls (including convergence, contrast, brightness, color, tint, fine tuning, sharpness), other adjustment necessary to prepare the unit for display or use, connection with any external audio receiver, antenna, cable or satellite systems, or service of products purchased or serviced outside the U.S.A. Please consult the operating instructions contained in the Owner's Guide furnished with the product for information regarding user controls.
3. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY WHICH, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO A TERM OF ONE YEAR.
4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MDEA BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE.
5. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental, special or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
6. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
7. BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE, please review the instruction booklet to insure proper installation and correct customer control adjustment. If the problem persists, contact your nearest MITSUBISHI Dealer for the name(s) of authorized MITSUBISHI Service Center(s).
