Chapter 1: Product Overview

Special Features

Your new LT-3280/LT-3780 LCD Flat Panel HDTV (display + media center) has many

special features, which include:

Two-Piece Design for Maximum Installation Flexibility

The LT-3280/LT-3780 display and media center are designed to work exclusively together as

an integrated HDTV. You can place the display on one side of the room, and with only two connecting cables, place the media center on the other side of the room with your A/V Receiver, VCR, DVD Player, and other A/V devices.

On the compact media center rear panel you will find a full complement of the connections needed for the most sophisticated home theater system. Included are standard Audio/Video/ S-Video, wideband component video, FireWire®, IEEE 1394, CableCARD, and two HDMI Inputs.

Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)

Your Mitsubishi media center is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can de-scramble 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 Mitsubishi media center 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 the remote control of many devices, allowing you to customize the NetCommand system in a way that works best for your viewing.

PC Connectivity

The display has a PC video connector that supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, or SXGA signals. Please

see Chapter 6 for signal compatibility. A stereo audio input is also provided.

Memory Card Reader

The four card slots in the front of the media center provide easy access to your pictures and audio

files stored on memory cards. This includes JPEG pictures from many types of digital cameras, as well as MP3 or WMA audio files recorded from computers or other digital recording devices.

Chapter 1: Product Overview

Media Center Front Control Panel

Except for SYSTEM RESET and the memory card reader Eject buttons, the buttons on the media center Front Control Panel are also found on the remote control and display top control panel. The top row of labels show the control functions when no TV menus are 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 in this chapter for information about how to use these buttons.

Power Indicator Light

The Power Indicator Light is located to the right of the Power button. Each time the media center is plugged into

a wall electrical outlet, or when power is restored after a power failure, or after pressing the SYSTEM RESET button, a blue light will flash rapidly for about one minute. Do not attempt to turn on the media center during this period. Wait for the flashing to stop. While the media center is powered on, the blue light illuminates steadily.

System Reset

If the media center will not respond to the remote control, the media center front-panel controls, or the display toppanel controls (and/or will not power Off), press the SYSTEM RESET button by inserting a pointed item (like the end of a paperclip) into the SYSTEM RESET opening. The media center will turn Off and the front panel Power Indicator Light will flash quickly for about one minute. When the light stops flashing, you may again turn on the media center.

The changes you made the last time the media center was on before you used the SYSTEM RESET button may be lost,

however, the changes that were previously saved are not lost.

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 return

all of the settings at once, press GUIDE and FORMAT on the front panel at the same time. To reset the defaults for individual devices, use the A/V Memory Reset selection on the Audio/Video menu.

Memory Card Reader

The four memory card slots are located on the front of the media center allow you to view JPEG pictures and listen to

MP3 or WMA audio files recorded from computers or other digital recording devices.

NOTE: The memory card slots are designed for the specific types of cards listed below. Do NOT insert other cards or objects, as this may damage the card reader. See Memory Card Playback on page 61 for more information.

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.

7. Audio Line Out

These analog L/R audio output terminals provide an

additional other audio device.

NOTE: For the best audio quality, use the Digital Audio Out terminal if supported by your A/V receiver. For analog audio, it is generally preferable to connect directly to the A/V receiver from the cable box, statellite receiver, DVD player, etc.

8. 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 upwards.

NOTE: If you are using a CableCARD, be sure to connect the cable from the cable wall outlet to ANT-1 MAIN on the media center.

option for connecting to an A/V Receiver or

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 media center 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.

10. Monitor Output

Use this Composite video and analog audio outputs under the following circumstances:

• Output to VCR for recording, or other A/V device.

• Output to an auxilliary monitor.

11. IEEE 1394

These terminals allow the media center to connect

to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Two terminals are provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

12. AC Power Input

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 HDTV (display + media center) to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 23 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.

9. Digital Audio Output

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio

from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital

Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V

receiver’s coaxial digital audio input. The output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device. Use Audio Line Out to send analog sound to your A/V receiver.

External Devices and NetCommand

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the media center 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 media center’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch to compatible Audio/Video (A/V) devices or those that have or “learned” NetCommand settings. It is important that the inputs on the media center and A/V receiver rear panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.

IMPORTANT

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

About 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 media center 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 media center, however, the media center cannot send back signals such as requests for Video-On-Demand or Pay-per-View 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 media center 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.

IR Emitters and NetCommand®

Figures 15 and 16

A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV

The four (4) IR emiters connected to the IR emitter cable (see Accessories in Chapter 1) are used by the NetCommand

system to control up to four other devices, such as a VCR, DVD player, Cable box, and a Satellite receiver.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output NetCommand terminals on the media center rear 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 one of the emitters in front of the remote control sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter bulb should face the remote control sensor on each device. 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.

Note: See Figures 15 and 16 for examples of emitter placement.

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.

Compatible IEEE 1394 Device

It is possible to connect devices to the media center that

have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with

the media center or with the NetCommand® control

system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The media center 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 media center as analog video or SVideo. If the camcorder uses a compatible digital control

system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the display is receiving the analog video or S-Video signals.

2. Digital Audio Signals

The media center 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 media center when received over IEEE 1394.

The media center 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 media center 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 media

center to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.

• Do not place an IEEE 1394 device between the media center and the display.

• Do not make a loop with the last device in the chain. When the device chain is looped, the media center may not be able to work with the other devices.

• Place devices that have only a mechanical (twoposition) 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 media center has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, the slower device should be the source and the faster device should be the recorder.

• Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.

• The media center is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE

1394b is currently under development. This

system will provide for longer distances and multiroom applications. Included in the IEEE 1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b converters to maintain compatibility with this media center and other IEEE 1394a devices.

• 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.

Connection Styles

Chapter 2: Connecting

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 media center. For example, you can connect a D-VHS to a 1394 DVD Player and then to the media center. 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 media center’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 media center 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.

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.

The 4-pin connector sends digital audio signals, digital

video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices. Your media center has two (2) 4-pin type connection terminals

4 pin connector

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 6pin connector without using the two additional pins.

A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin terminal, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device

available on the rear panel.

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 media center does not have 6 pin connectors.

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.

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 media center and the A/V Receiver?

A. There are two solutions:

1. Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the media center 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 media center 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 media center 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 media center/Audio Line Out stereo audio output and media center 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 media center’s IR Emitter terminals. 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 HDTV receiver for this purpose?

A. You can connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the media center. Then use Edit

NetCommand to “Add” this as an “Other” device, not a A/V Receiver. On the “Connection” screen, indicate which media center input was used and check mark the video box. Make sure the media center 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 separate high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output and would like to be able use it as well. Is there any way to connect this receiver both ways?

A. Yes, this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu. Just add this unit once using the Input-DTV

receiver and once using one of the S-video inputs. Make sure you learn the remote control twice, on for each input. We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S-video to the media center so that you do not need to use two inputs on the A/V Receiver. If this is a NetCommand compatible media center that HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of this feature.

Chapter 3: NetCommand® Setup and Editing

NetCommand® Introduction

NetCommand makes your TV the heart of your Home Theater

NetCommand® is an intelligent control system that makes your Mitsubishi TV the heart of your home theater. With NetCommand, the TV sends signals to the other devices in the system via the IR emitters, telling the devices 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 of controlling 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 and VCR and/or A/V disc. After performing this

setup, you can use the TV’s remote to control these devices.

◊ want the ease and flexibility of NetCommand-controlled recording, with seamless setup of time-delayed or

immediate recordings among networked devices.

• 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. ◊ provide seamless setup of time-delayed or immediate recordings among networked device.

NetCommand Helps Manage Your Home Theater

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, then reactivate or turn them on when needed.

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

• add new devices.

• delete devices you have disconnected.

• change device and input selections.

Chapter 3: NetCommand® Setup and Editing

IMPORTANT

To take advantage of the versatility of your new HDTV, Mitsubishi recommends that you set up

NetCommand® as soon as you finish connecting your A/V devices and power on the LCD Flat Panel TV for the first time. Although setting up NetCommand is optional, TV Guide On Screen® can not control connected cable boxes or record TV programs unless NetCommand is set up. You also have the option of setting up NetCommand at a later time.

NetCommand® Initial Setup

Setting up NetCommand gives you centralized control of all A/V devices connected to the media center and allows you to record TV shows using TV Guide On Screen®. After you place IR emitters in front of connected A/V devices, you will only need one remote control because NetCommand can learn the IR codes used by the

remotes controls of A/V devices.

Welcome Screen

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 the media center to another device. 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” as the Manufacturer 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 front of the display 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 control to operate these devices in the traditional manner.

Using the “Learn” Feature to Control IEEE 1394 Devices

NOTE: See pages 32–33 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles. The media center

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

These incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand

menu.

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 30–31).

2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 53) use ADJUST and ENTER to check mark the Analog Connection box.

3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 54) of DBS (Satellite receiver) or similar tuning device.

4. If desired, use the ADJUST buttons enter a custom Name on the Name screen (Figure 19 , page 44).

5. At the Device Screen, Select “Other” as a manufacturer and then highlight “Learn” and press ENTER (Figure 4, page 54).

6. Follow the device learning instructions found on the screen(s) or in the Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.

7. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 54) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs.

8. Proceed with the Finish screen.

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

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

When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the media center 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 media center. The media center 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 other slide switch positions of the HDTV remote control may be able to control operation.

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 1

When your media center 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 media center’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.

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.

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.

Connection Screen

Figure 5

Select the media center input that you used when you connected the video or S-Video cables. You may also select the media center or A/V receiver input you used when you connected the stereo audio cables. The media center will learn the input names for the media center 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.

Figure 5. Connection screen

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 media center will control the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable

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

V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS:

1. V-Chip is not effective for programs viewed on devices connected to Component input or HDMI.

2. Videotapes, laser discs and DVDs may not contain V-Chip rating signals. If they don’t contain the V-Chip signal, V-Chip cannot block the program or movie.

3. Broadcasters are not currently required to include V-Chip rating signals at this time. If the broadcaster does not include the V-Chip rating signal, V-Chip cannot block the program.

TV Ratings:

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

TV-Y Youth, for children under the age of 7. TV-Y7 Youth, 7 years old and older. For children 7 years old and older. TV-G General Audience. For the entire family to view. TV-PG Parental Guidance. Parental Guidance is recommended, may not
