IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Please read the following safeguards for your TV and retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television.

1.Read, Retain and Follow All Instructions

Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions.

2.Heed Warnings

Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions.

3.Cleaning

Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid, abrasive or aerosol cleaners. Cleaners can permanently damage the cabinet and screen. Use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning.

4.Attachments and Equipment

Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer as such additions may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury.

5.Water and Moisture

Do not use the TV where contact with or immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath tubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc.

6.Accessories

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

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

7.Ventilation

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

8.Power Source

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

9.Grounding or Polarization

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

10.Power-Cord Protection

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

11.Lightning

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

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, continued

12.Power Lines

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

13.Overloading

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

14.Object and Liquid Entry

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

15.Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-2002, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Special Features of Your TV

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

High Definition DLP™ Display System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments most advanced Digital Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection televisions. This TV is truly a high-performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable of both stunning high-definition video images and clear, detailed, high-resolution PC images. Your TV can accept video signals from an antenna or direct cable service in standard video scanning rates of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. It is also able to accept, through the HDMI 2 connection, signals with PC resolutions from VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768). When used with a compatible graphics card and controlling software, this TV is also able to accept the custom PC resolution of 720p (1280 x 720). To connect a PC to HDMI 2, your PC must have a video card with DVI or HDMI output. You also need to perform NetCommand setup for the HDMI 2 PC input so that the TV knows to apply the correct PCsignal processing. All of the compatible video and PC signals will be converted to 1080p for final display; some signals will, however, result in the addition of black side bars, top and bottom bars, or both, to fill the screen, and some signals will display standard video overscan.

TV Disc Internal Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

TV Disc is an internal high-definition hard disk drive recorder, also known as a digital video recorder or DVR. In models WD-62827 and WD-73827, this disc has a capacity of 160 gigabytes and can record up to 16 hours of high-definition programming. Models WD-62927 and WD-73927 contain a 250-gigabyte disc that can record up to 25 hours of high-definition programming. TV Disc can record digital and analog programs received from CableCARD™ channels, Antenna 1, Antenna 2, devices connected to Input 1–3, or IEEE 1394 devices. This exciting feature makes possible live TV pause with instant replay. Now you can record a high-definition program and watch it later without any loss

of picture quality and without a VCR. Recordings on the TV Disc can be sent by an IEEE 1394 connection to D-VHS VCRs or to other IEEE 1394-compatible TVs and analog VCRs. When recording analog programs, TV Disc will use Dolby Digital recording technology to convert the analog stereo to high-quality digital stereo compatible with Dolby Digital decoding surround receivers. Note that a portion of the hard disc capacity is reserved for the TV Pause feature and is not available for video recording.

Dual Digital Tuners

Dual digital tuners give you a high level of flexibility when using TV Disc. For example, you can record one analog or digital channel from CableCARD™ on one antenna input (Ant-1) while viewing a different non-scrambled analog or digital channel on the other antenna input (Ant-2). You can record a non-scrambled analog or digital channel from Ant-2 while viewing an analog or digital channel from CableCARD™. Or you can view a device connected to a different input while recording a channel from CableCARD™, Ant-1, or Ant-2. Note that due to the unidirectional nature of CableCARD service, it is not possible to view one CableCARD channel and record another CableCARD channel at the same time.

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 that can seamlessly integrate selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy protection, and IR (infrared) control of selected older products, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. NetCommand has the capability of learning remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand home-theater system that works best for your viewing.

Memory Card Reader

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

TV Guide On Screen® Interactive Program Guide System

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-definition programming. This system offers multiple sorting options to help you find the programs you want to watch and gives you 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 and then it may take up to one week to receive all eight days of TV program listings.

Multiple Options for Connecting a Home Theater Personal Computer

(Models WD-62927 and WD-73927)

In addition to the PC input available on HDMI-2, models WD-62927 and WD-73927 also have a 15-pin PC monitor input. In addition to the resolutions available via HDMI-2, This input also accepts 1920 x 1080, 60-Hz signals to provide maximum performance when used with Home Theater PC/Media Centers.

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 source.

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®

IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVDs, satellite receivers and audio receivers. This system is also coordinated with the TV Guide On Screen® system for the control of cable boxes and to activate the record feature of

your VCR. Either connection can be used for NetCommand functions.

3. INPUT 1 and 2

(Audio/Video 1 and 2)

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

. COMPONENT 1–3 Inputs

YPbPr ( 80i/ 80p/720p/1080i)

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

18	Chapter 1. Television Overview

TV Back Panel, continued

5. 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, such as DVI output from a DVD player.

6. PC Input (models WD-62927, WD-73927 only)

(VGA/W-VGA/SVGA/W-SVGA/XGA/W-XGA/1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz)

This input can be used to connect a personal computer. Please see Appendix A for signal compatibility. For audio, use DVI Analog Audio 2 input.

7. 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® (DTVLink/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. The program on this output can be either the one you are currently watching or a different one. 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. Component, HDMI, and PC inputs are not available for recording.

8. HDMI™ 1 and 2

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

Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video formats.

These inputs can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable is 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 stereo audio from your DVI device.

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

HDMI 2

HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during

initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option in the Device Setup screen. To do this at any time afterwards, use the NetCommand Add function.

To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output, you must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.

9. MonitorLink/RS-232C Control

When used as a MonitorLink port with a Mitsubishi receiver/controller, provides enhanced functions such as automatic power on/off and input-port selection.

When used as an RS-232C connection, provides a port for an external controller that uses RS 232C signals for

communication. For RS 232C-compatible signal protocols, please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

10. DTVLink™/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, which allow for a high degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand-controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements is in Chapter 2, “Connecting.”

11. CableCARD™ Slot

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

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 84 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.

12. 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. If you have a digital A/V receiver, 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.

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		Device to be
	A/V receiver inputs for
		video and stereo	connected	stereo and/or digital
	each device. You should
	connect each device to	audio cables		audio cables
	the TV input (both audio
	and video) and to the A/V
	receiver (audio) as shown		*3 &NJUUFST
	in the figure below. If you
	connect devices to inputs	TV		AV
	other than the ones shown			Receiver
	as presets, you must
		stereo and/or digital audio cables
	change the NetCommand
	setup accordingly. See the

Edit NetCommand information starting on page 43.

The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V receiver. Chart 1 shows the default TV inputs existing in NetCommand.

Chart 2 shows the A/V receiver inputs used by A/V receiver models already known by NetCommand.
