Special Features

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

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.

TV Guide On Screen® Interactive Program Guide

An eight-day on-screen program guide that can be used with cable, over-the-air and CableCARD™ reception. The subscription-free guide system lists regular, digital and high-def inti on programming. This system allows multiple sorting options and easy program recording. Program listings are downloaded while your TV is turned off, so that you have current program information available every day. Note that when the system is first set up, it may take up to 24 hours to begin to receive TV program listings. It may take one week to receive all eight days of TV program listings.

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

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 continue to receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.

2. 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.

3. Input-1, -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 video input, you must choose to connect only one. They cannot both be connected at the same time.

The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high definition digital video formats and existing digital PCM audio formats. If using a cable box, the HDMI input supports both video and audio using a single cable.

Back Panel, continued

WD-52528

WD-62528

Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition satellite receiver, cable box, 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 at computer resolutions, such as SVGA or XGA.

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 High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection compliant (HDCP).

6. Output: Audio Output, Record Output

AUDIO OUTPUT sends analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire® (DTV Link/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If you do not have a digital A/V receiver, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your analog A/V receiver or stereo system.

RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a VCR for recording purposes. These signals may not be the same as those of the program that is currently being shown on screen. Signals from digital channels and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog signals. There is no video signal when copy restrictions are in effect. Audio alone is output when Component 1, 2, or 3, or the HDMI input is selected for recording.

7. Service Port

This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only or for authorized software updates.

8. 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.

Back Panel, continued

9. DTV Link/IEEE 1394

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks are provided for this purpose, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in connecting your NetCommand®-controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

10. 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 up as indicated by the direction of the CARD TOP arrow. When you use the CableCARD Slot, you must connect the cable to ANT-1.

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 22 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.

11. Digital Audio Output

This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. In most cases, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V receiver. If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV's analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.

A Note About Temporary Residual Images

Prolonged display of stationary images on your TV may cause faint, residual “ghost” images to be visible when viewing other programs. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY. The residual images will disappear within days or weeks. Most TV and DVD programming is of generally uniform brightness and will not produce this effect.

To prevent the appearance of residual images:

- Avoid display of stationary images for extended periods on this or any other LCD projection TV. Examples of such images include:

• Stationary images that may be part of video games and web pages
• Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video
• Side bars displayed with narrow-format video (see definition on page 80)
• Top and bottom bars displayed with letter-box video (see definition on page 80)

- Mix regular TV and video programming with uses that display stationary images.

Connecting External Devices and 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 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 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 20 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 exactly like this screen.

If you were unable to write down 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.

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 13

A double IR Emitter cable is included with models WD-52527 and WD-62527. A Quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with models WD-52528 and WD-62528.

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 IR Emitter Cable to either 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.

• With some devices, the emitter will work better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.
• The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.
• 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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

graph LR
    A["1394 Monitor"] --> B["Digital VCR#3"]
    C["Other 1394Device#1"] --> B

    D --> F["DigitalVCR#2"]
    E --> G["Digital DVD#1"]
    F --> H["Digital VCR#1"]
    I["Other1394Device#2"] --> F

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.

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 4-pin type connection jacks available.

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

6 pin connector

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.

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.

6 pin to 4 pin adaptor

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. 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 check marked 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.

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

A. In most setups, analog audio is also output as digital audio, so no switching is required, and there is no need to connect the analog output. In some circumstances, however, you may also need analog audio from the TV. For example, MP3 audio is only output in analog format, so you must connect the TV's analog AUDIO OUTPUT to the A/V Receiver if you want it to play MP3 audio. Refer to your A/V Receiver user's guide to find out how analog/digital audio switching works.

- If your A/V Receiver's remote control has an Analog/Digital Audio key, you can use the GUIDE key with the following models to control switching:

Mitsubishi M-VR900 Integra DTR-9.1

Denon AVR-2700 Kenwood VR-2080

To make the switch, press the Device key on the TV's remote control, and from the Device Selection menu, press the Audio key. Then, with the A/V Receiver highlighted, press the GUIDE key to make the switch.

- If you have some other A/V Receiver model, use the TV's learn function to learn the code for the GUIDE key. Follow the instructions above for using the GUIDE key.

- If your A/V Receiver has an Analog/Digital selection key on the front panel only, and not on the remote, then your only option is to use that key to perform switching.

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 check mark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not check marked. 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 Component-1 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® Introduction

Welcome To NetCommand!

NetCommand makes your TV the heart of your Home Theater

NetCommand® is an intelligent control system that allows your Mitsubishi TV to become the heart of your Home Theater. With NetCommand, the TV sends signals to the other devices in the system, telling them to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume, change channels and many more functions. All of this is accomplished with one remote control and without changing control layers.

IR Learning and IEEE 1394 Support

The “IR Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the TV to learn the remote control signals for new devices that the TV is not preprogrammed to operate. NetCommand® also includes the capability to control IEEE 1394 devices by sending control signals on a FireWire® cable.

Using NetCommand is completely optional

When you first turn on the TV, the NetCommand Setup Wizard launches. If you decide to use NetCommand, follow the on-screen instructions. If you choose not to use it right away, simply quit the Setup Wizard and NetCommand will remain inactive. Later, if you decide to use NetCommand, you can easily access the Setup Wizard.

NetCommand and Levels of Control

When you set up NetCommand, you decide how much control you want the TV to have over your home theater system. You have the choice of performing a basic, limited, or complete NetCommand setup.

- Basic Setup

In a basic setup, NetCommand will:

automatically switch to the correct TV input when you want to view programming from a different device. All you do is select the device from the on-screen device selection menu. This saves you from having to search for the correct input every time you want to change devices. Unused inputs are automatically deactivated so that you don't see them in the menu.
◇ show an on-screen icon for each device connected to the TV so you always know what devices are available.

Note that with a basic setup, you still need to use the remote control specific to each device.

- Limited Setup

In a limited setup, you get the benefits of the basic setup plus NetCommand control over the specific devices you have chosen. Use this type of setup if you:

only want NetCommand to control a few devices, such as the TV, a playback device (like a DVD player), and a cable box. With this setup, you can use the TV's remote to control these devices.
◇ want to use TV Guide On Screen® to control your cable box, VCR, or A/V disc. After performing this setup, you can use the TV's remote to control the device.

- Full Setup

Perform a full setup if you want NetCommand to:

◇ control a surround sound A/V receiver.
◇ automatically change input selections for the A/V receiver.
◇ control all devices with the TV's remote, including the A/V receiver.

NetCommand Helps You Manage Your Home-Theater Connections

With the NetCommand Review screen you can:

• view a summary of all devices connected to the TV and the input used for each device.
- deactivate or turn off unused input connections.

If you need to change your setup, a NetCommand sub-menu lets you easily

• add new devices.
• deleted devices you have disconnected.
• change device and input selections.

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 32 and 33 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 a connected IR Emitter in front of the device's remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 31).
2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 53) check mark the Analog Connection check box.
3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 54) 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 53).
5. Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
6. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 54) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used along with IEEE-1394 connections, select the correct inputs. If analog connections are not used, uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV and AVR inputs.
7. Proceed with the Finish screen.

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

Some cable boxes with IEEE-1394 connections use analog connections to display guides or view analog channels, and can instruct the TV to change to the analog input. For these cable boxes, make sure you follow the instructions on pages 53 and 54 for adding analog connections for an IEEE-1394 device.

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.

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.

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 or cable box.

Figure 3. IEEE 1394 Device Type screen

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 4. Device screen

Connection Screen

Figure 5

Select the TV input that you used when you connected the video or S-Video cables. You may also select the TV or A/V receiver input you used when you connected the stereo audio cables. 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.

NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections

What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?

Figure 12 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 set up a connection for an IEEE 1394 cable box that sends a program to be recorded to an A/V Disc or DVCR. 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.

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

Figure 12. Recording Setup 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. Tune to source.
2. Press CONNECT or REC/CONNECT on the TV remote.
3. In the "Record to" section, review the destination device (example: DVCR) and duration. Change if necessary.
4. Press CONNECT or REC/CONNECT a second time to initiate recording.

NOTE: Multiple peer-to-peer connections can occur simultaneously, sometimes with the same source device. Also, please note that peer-to-peer connections are NOT listed on the Record List screen.

Canceling a Current Peer-to-Peer Connection

When a peer-to-peer connection has been established, you can cancel the connection by highlighting the source device in the Device Selection menu. Confirm that the on-screen icon for the peer-to-peer connection is in the Connection Section next to the TV icon, then press CANCEL.

Recording Setup

Figure 15

Figure 15. Recording Setup screen

The recording Setup menu is where you tell the TV what, where, and when to record. There are two ways to open the Recording Setup menu:

• by selecting Record from the Record menu.
  • by pressing REC on the remote control.

Your TV is able to start and stop recordings automatically and send the signals from one external playback device to another external recording device. It is also able to convert digital channels and IEEE 1394 device signals to analog signals that can be recorded on NetCommand-compatible analog VHS and S-VHS VCRs connected to the record audio and video outputs on the back of the TV.

You can schedule the recording to take place at a later time and program the recording duration for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 6 hours (in 30-minute increments). The default is 1 hour.

When a digital recording is being made, the TV will direct the signals to the recording device using the IEEE 1394 cable. In the case of an analog recording (as to a VCR) the TV converts the digital signals to analog format and sends the analog output to the VCR through the RECORD OUTPUT jacks.

During the recording, the TV can be powered Off.

To prevent recording of unwanted material while recording to a VCR or A/V disc, press PAUSE to temporarily stop recording. Press PAUSE again to resume recording.

You cannot record from an analog channel or device or a VHS or S-VHS VCR to a digital recording device such as a DVCR or A/V Disc.

Recording Now

Can be used when viewing Antenna 1 or 2, an IEEE 1394 device, or a device connected to Input 1, 2, or 3.

To initiate recording now:

1. Press REC (record) on the TV remote or press ENTER if the Record menu is displayed.
2. Review the destination device (VCR) and duration. Change if necessary.
3. Press REC a second time to initiate recording.

Time-Delayed Recording

To initiate a time-delayed recording:

1. Press REC (record) on the TV remote or press ENTER if the Record menu is displayed.
2. Press ADJUST ▲ to select the channel, device to record to, duration time, start time (press ENTER after selecting hour to set minutes) and day.
3. Select Add and press ENTER to add the recording to the record list. If your selection is successful, a confirmation message will be displayed. If you pick overlapping times, day(s), or destination devices, you will see a message stating there is a conflict.
4. To exit, press HOME on the TV remote after all recordings have been added.

Default Digital (Record) Device

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 RECORD OUTPUT on the back of the TV (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page 57) or TV Guide On Screen.

Analog Recordings

When you record a 16:9 digital channel to an analog VCR or recording device, there is a mismatch between the picture shape of the 16:9 ratio of the source and the narrower 4:3 ratio of the analog recorder.

• For playback on this widescreen TV, choose the anamorphic picture display and ensure that the TV screen format is set to standard (see the section on TV formats in this Owner's Guide).
• For playback on an older style 4:3 TV, choose the cropped display to remove the top and bottom sections. This setting does not affect recording from analog devices, analog channels, or 4:3 digital channels.

Setting Up Analog Recordings with TV Guide On Screen®

When setting up a recording using TV Guide On Screen, note that:

• You must select the desired recording device in the TV Guide On Screen Record Options menu.
• Analog programs can only be recorded to an analog recording device, such as a VCR.
• Analog programs cannot be recorded to digital devices such as A/V discs or DVCRs.

◇ Bright/Natural Modes

The Bright and Natural modes allow you to optimize the image for a brighter (daytime) or dimmer (nighttime) viewing environment. To do this, your TV remembers two independent Contrast, Brightness, and Color Temperature settings, one for each of the two modes. Whenever you change settings for Contrast, Brightness, or Color Temperature, first check which of the two modes (Bright/Natural) is active.

◇ Contrast (Bright/Natural)

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 (Bright/Natural)

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

◇ Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

◇ Tint

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

◇ Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

◇ Color Temp (Bright/Natural)

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.
• High: White images will have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

The Bright and Natural Color Temp adjustments have high and low settings. Natural/Color Temp at the low setting displays video at the 6500K industry standard for NTSC pictures.

PerfectColor™

TV 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 and 3 POP are only available in Standard and Expand formats.

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.

Signal and Format Definitions:

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

480p Signals: Progressive-scan analog DVD signals on Component 1–3 and HDMI.

720p & 1080i Signals: High-definition analog signals received through Component 1–3 and HDMI. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen), but may have side bars added by the broadcaster.

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 a 4:3 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. When no PIP or POP is displayed, you can press ADJUST up or down to vertically adjust the picture. 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.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use any kind of abrasive cleaner on the surface of the TV screen

Cleaning

Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is needed, please use the following guidelines:

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

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:

• Follow the instructions for the top and sides, but 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].

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.
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV's surfaces.
• DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe it gently.

Service

If you are unable to correct a problem with your TV, consult your Mitsubishi dealer or a Mitsubishi Authorized Warranty Service Center.

• DO NOT adjust any controls other than those described in this Owner's Guide.
• DO NOT remove the protective back cover of your TV.

Menus not described and shown in this owner's guide are designed for Factory use and for Authorized Service Personnel. Damage caused to the TV by non-authorized changes or changes to these menus made by non-authorized persons are not covered under warranty.

Appendix G: Filter Cleaning

Cleaning the Dust Filter

Clean the filter annually and whenever you replace the lamp cartridge.

Tool needed: Phillips screwdriver

1. Turn the television off and unplug the AC cord.
2. Carefully access the back of the television. If the TV must be moved, use two people.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that hold the dust filter cover in place.

4. Carefully remove the dust filter cover from the TV and set the screws aside.

5. Please follow carefully to open the dust filter cover: while squeezing the grating between your thumb and fingers of one hand, pull the tab with the index finger of your other hand. See (a) and (b) in the illustration to the left.

6. Clean the filter material by dusting with a lint-free cloth.

7. If the filter is soiled, carefully pull it out of the cover and rinse it with water. Do not use detergents or soap on the filter.

8. Completely air dry the filter before placing it back into the dust filter cover. Make sure to place the filter with the notched edge at the upper right corner.

9. Replace the filter in the TV and secure with the screws.

IMPORTANT: Never operate this TV without a clean filter in place.

Before you replace the lamp cartridge please note the following:

CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off. Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

LAMP LIFE

The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The actual life of the lamp in this television can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently.

When the end of the lamp's life is approaching, the TV displays a warning message for one minute when you power on the TV. The message will reappear the next five times you turn on the TV. After you change the lamp cartridge, you must reset the lamp reminder through the TV Setup menu. Otherwise, the warning message will appear again too soon. Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from date of the original purchase at retail. It is likely, however, that the lamp will last significantly longer than this.

TO ORDER A NEW LAMP:

While Under Warranty After Warranty
Call [phone]. Please have model number, serial number, and TV purchase date available.	Call [phone]. Order lamp part number 915P028010.

WARNING:

Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because of the lamp's high temperature. Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.

Do not touch the lamp glass element. It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.

Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electrical shock. If any object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.

Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.

Do not touch the lamp glass elements. Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.

The lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at: www.eiae.org.

IMPORTANT

Reset the lamp hours through the TV setup menu each time you replace the lamp cartridge. Otherwise, the lamp warning message will reappear too soon.

Appendix H: Lamp Cartridge Replacement, continued

Problem Possible Solution

50.	Program to be recorded was correctly selected from ChannelView, however, incorrect program was recorded.	The broadcaster supplied program information that was incorrect and/or was changed after a recording was added to the Record List.
51.	Incomplete ChannelView program recorded. Recording device may have lack of space availability and there is not enough blank space to make a full recording.
52.	ChannelView program recording failed.• Connection and compatibility issues with IEEE 1394 (FireWire®) digital devices. This may include too many FireWire devices in use at one time, or the recording device not understanding the record command.• Television lost power long enough to lose current clock time.• Analog VCR power was left Off.
53.	TV Guide On Screen® system shows no program listings.	• Program listings are downloaded while the TV is off and cable box is left on. It may take up to 24 hours to begin to receive TV program listings. It may take up to one week to receive all eight days of TV program listings.• Invalid ZIP code was entered at the initial TV Guide On Screen system setup. Select NetCommand from the main TV menu, then Guide and enter the correct ZIP code.• Check the connections between the TV and the TV Guide On Screen input (cable, antenna or cable box and IR cable). At least one antenna connection must be associated with the TV Guide On Screen system to receive program listings.
54.	TV Guide On Screen system program listings don’t match actual programs	• Incorrect ZIP code was entered at initial TV Guide On Screen system setup. Select NetCommand menu, then Guide to enter the correct ZIP code.• For cable programs, there may be more than one cable company in your ZIP code. Refer to the TV Guide On Screen Interactive Program Guide User’s Manual for instructions on the Setup Service.• Ensure that only one cable source is check marked in the NetCommand setup for TV Guide On Screen.
55.	TV Guide On Screen system does not change channels on the cable box.	• Cable box is not set up in NetCommand. The TV Guide On Screen system uses NetCommand to control the cable box and VCR. To correct, select NetCommand from the main TV menu, then select Change or Add on the NetCommand menu.• IR emitter is not in place or properly positioned in front of the cable box remote sensor. See page 31.• Ensure that the cable box is turned on.
56.	I set up a TV Guide On Screen recording to my digital recorder, but the recording failed and I got an error message saying it cannot record an analog program.	• Analog content can only be recorded to an analog recording device, such as a VCR. Open the TV Guide On Screen Record Options menu and change the destination recorder to match the analog recording device connected to the TV RECORD OUTPUT jacks.

The 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.

The limited 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 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 are also subject to your acceptance of and 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.
