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.

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 shortout 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.

16. Servicing

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

17. Damage Requiring Service

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

(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV. (c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. (d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation. (e) If the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. (f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

18. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,

electric shock or other hazards.

19. Safety Check

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

20. Heat

The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Special Features

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

High Definition DLP™ Display System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments 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 is able to accept video signals from an antenna or direct cable 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). When connecting a PC to HDMI you will need a PC video card with DVI or HDMI output. Also, so the TV can apply the correct PC signal processing, you will need to

set up the TV to receive the PC signals through the HDMI 2 input by using the NetCommand setup system. All of the compatible video and PC signals will be converted to 1080p for final display; some signals will, however, add black

side bars, top and bottom bars, or both to fill the screen, and some signals will display standard video overscan.

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-defintion 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.

Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital

signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box

to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability

information and service details.

NetCommand® Home Network Control System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking to combine selected older products with new

and future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C),

5C copy protection and IR control of selected older products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes or satellite

receivers. NetCommand includes the ability to learn remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you

to customize the NetCommand system in a way that works best for your viewing

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format

Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

Media Cards

You can display a slide show of your favorite JPEG pictures or listen to MP3 or WMA audio selections that have been

recorded on compatible media cards

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

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.

16 Chapter 1. Television Overview

4. COMPONENT 1, 2, and 3 Inputs

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

These inputs can be used for the connection of devices

with component video outputs, such as a DVD player, external HDTV receiver, or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.

5. 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 personal

computer.

6. 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. 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 audio from your DVI device.

This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy

Protection) compliant.

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 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.

10. 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.

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 (in the Device Setup screen),

or at any time afterwards by using the NetCommand Add

function.

If you want audio from a PC when using PC DVI output,

you must connect the PC audio output to the TV INPUT/

DVI Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.

8. 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, 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.

9. 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 .

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. If you connect devices to inputs other than the ones shown as presets, you must change the NetCommand setup accordingly. See the Edit NetCommand information starting on page 47.

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.

CableCARD™ Technology

CableCARD Technology

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

IMPORTANT

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

Please see page 58 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 15

An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the

NetCommand system to control other devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied 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.

• With some devices, the emitter works 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.

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.

a. 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.

b. If the device does not respond, move the remote

control 1 inch toward the center and try again. c. Repeat this until the device responds. d. Note this location and 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.

Figure 15. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand

IMPORTANT

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

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE

1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with

the NetCommand® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types

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

2. Digital Audio Signals

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

1394

The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital

audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.

3. Digital Control Signal

The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394

audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control standards.

• EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as cable boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics. However, this standard does not allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE 1394.

When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

• Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to work with the other devices.

• Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-

position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the On position. When turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not

be able to pass through the device to other devices.

• Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes

the communication speed will be marked

near the IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster

the communication speed. This TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with

slow communication speed can interfere

with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital

recording between a faster and slower device,

the slower device should be the source and the faster device should be the recorder.

• Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15

feet between each device.

• This TV is an IEEE 1394a device. It can be used

with a 1394b system when an IEEE 1394a to

1394b convertor is used. 1394b systems enable

longer distance and multi-room applications.

• 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

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

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 TV has three 4-pin type

connection jacks available. One is on the front panel and two are on the back.

The 6-pin connector is capable

of sending the same digital audio, video and control signals as the

4-pin connector, but the 6-pin

connector is also able to send low voltage electrical power. This TV does not have 6 pin connectors.

The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to

provide the needed operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector

can send this electrical power to another device, or

receive electrical power from another device, or simply use a 6-pin connector without using the two additional pins.

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.

34 Chapter 2. Connecting

A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin

jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device, you will need to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor or adaptor cable. These cables are available from electronic and computer stores.

When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder)

to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power

from another 6-pin device) you will need to connect

the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the

camcorder’s battery for power. If this is not possible,

then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power.

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 to hear MP3 audio through the A/V receiver. 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 analog/digital audio 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 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 makes your Mitsubishi TV 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 and VCR and/or A/V disc. After performing this

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

NetCommand Helps You 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; reactivate or turn them on.

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

• add new devices.

• deleted devices you have disconnected.

• change device and input selections.

38 Chapter 3. NetCommand Setup and Editing

Using the Remote Control with NetCommand®

Below is a list of several manufacturers’ devices tested and shown to be compatible with NetCommand. These devices can be controlled without changing the setting of the remote control from TV to another product. NetCommand may be able to operate additional models since many manufacturers use the same control signals to operate some or all of the

models they offer. This chart lists only the models that have been tested with NetCommand. The NetCommand Learning feature is able to learn the remote control signals of most Audio Video devices. For devices not listed in the table, or if your device does not operate using the same remote control as the models listed below, use the learning feature by selecting “Other” at the [Device] screen. See the Edit NetCommand section of this Guide.

NOTE: There are many different types of remotes and not all of them may be compatible with the learning feature. Bright

light near the TV screen can also adversely affect the learning feature. If it is not possible to learn a device, you will need to use the original remote control of the device, or program the TV remote to operate these devices in the traditional

manner.

IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand® Control

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

NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the “Learn” Feature.

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

1. Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device’s remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 32).

2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 55) 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 56) of SAT or similar tuning device

4. If desired, using the ADJUST buttons enter a custom Name on the Name screen (Figure 20, page 50).

5. At the Device screen, Select “Other” as a manufacturer and then highlight “Learn” and press Next (Figure 4, page

43).

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 56) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs. If only digital connections are used, do not check the video or audio boxes.

8. Proceed with the Finish screen.

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

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

54 Chapter 4. IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand-Controlled Recordings

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/SAT/ 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.

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.

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

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 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 TV will control the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable.

device, or a non-recording traditional device.

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 NetCommandcompatible 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 either 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.

To initiate recording now:

1. Press REC (record) on the TV remote or press

ENTER if the Record menu is displayed.

2. Review the Record To (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 or to select the channel, device to record to, duration time, start time (press ENTER after selecting hour and minutes to set the time) and day.

4. To exit, press HOME on the TV remote after all recordings have been added.

IMPORTANT

Recordings scheduled on this screen are independent of recordings scheduled through TV Guide On Screen®. Recordings scheduled with TV Guide On Screen have priority if there is a conflict between the two recording schedules.

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 (usually a VCR) and are not affected by this setting. This feature is most useful when recording from ChannelView™ (page 53) or when set up from TV Guide On Screen® using the REC key..

Analog Recordings

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

• For anamorphic 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 cropped 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 and Natural modes are available for some settings and 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.

◊ PerfectColor™

Adjusts any or all of six colors (Magenta, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan and Blue) to create color balance. When you select PerfectColor and press ENTER you can adjust the colors automatically or manually (individually).

Individual sliders for each color will be displayed.

Highlighted text will show which slider you are adjusting. Each TV input or device has a memory for PerfectColor. While using the PerfectColor option, press CANCEL if you want to reset the colors to the

default settings.

◊ Video Noise

Use to reduce minor noise (graininess) in the

broadcast received on Ant-1 and Ant-2, Inputs 1-3, and Component 1–3. Use standard with good-

quality signals.

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

and 0 is the minimum. For a Currently Viewed PC Connected to HDMI-2

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.

Operation of PIP

You can display programs from analog channels, analog inputs, or devices as Picture-In-Picture (PIP). The TV has a second analog tuner for non-scrambled analog channels received on ANT-1 and will display them as the PIP subpictures. Digital channels and devices can be shown as the main picture but cannot be the sub-picture. PC screens can

be viewed as the main picture with large PIP.

Press PIP to activate the PIP option. With each press of the PIP button on the TV remote control (within seconds of each other), the PIP will cycle through the following display options:

• Side-by-side pictures

• PIP

(available for PC viewing)

• PIP off

shown as the main picture. PC images can only be the

main image.

Moving PIP Image

If no menus are on screen, press ADJUST , , , or to

move the PIP display anywhere on the main screen.

Freezing the PIP and Side-by-Side Pictures

Press PAUSE to freeze the PIP and side-by-side images. Press PAUSE again to return to a “live” image.

To turn PIP off, wait at least 10 seconds and then press

PIP. The next time you activate PIP, the last-used PIP option will be displayed.

Changing PIP Device

When PIP is displayed, press PIP DEVICE to change the PIP picture source device. A menu similar to the Device Selection menu will be displayed.

IMPORTANT

• The side-by-side option cannot show the same channel or device on both sides.

• If ANT-1 or ANT-2 is the main picture, ANT2 is not available as a PIP or side-by-side image.

• PIP is not compatible with signals from media cards.

• You can view only one HDMI input at a time with the PIP or side-by-side feature.

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 from which to choose.

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

Note: Not all formats are available for PIP. Side-by-Side is only available in Standard and Expand formats. PC formats vary depending on PC signal.

DVD Definitions:

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for Wide-Screen TV’s):

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

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter box 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 Letter boxed, 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 and 2, INPUT 1 and 2, COMPONENT

1-3, and HDMI 1 and 2.

480p Signals: Progressive-scan analog DVD signals on

COMPONENT 1-3 and HDMI 1 and 2.

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

Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.

Available for analog 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3

signals only.

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

Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than at the sides. This allows the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than is 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 is displayed, you can press ADJUST up or down to vertically adjust the position of the picture.

Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals

only.

720p & 1080i Signals: High-definition analog signals

received through COMPONENT 1-3, and HDMI 1 and 2.

These signals are always 16:9 (wide screen).

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 (wide screen).

Chapter 6. Additional Features 83

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.

Future Reference

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock

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

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

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

Bypassing Front Button Lock

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

IMPORTANT

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

IMPORTANT

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

NetCommand® IEEE 1394 System Compatibility: This television is designed to conform to IEEE 1394 AV/C Software standards in effect at the time of development. This exciting new networking and control technology is designed to provide high-per formance digital connections and product control, making the product easier to use.

Mitsubishi D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV in audio, video and control. Many DV camcorders that have IEEE 1394 connections will be compatible with the control features of this TV, but not compatible with the audio or video decoder.

As other manufacturers distribute products that use the IEEE 1394 AV/C standards, they will be responsible for developing products that meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other products. Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these other products. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers’ products should be brought to the attention of those manufacturers.
