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.

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.

8. IR Emitter-NetCommand®

Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR

Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite receivers and audio receivers.

9. 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.

10. HDMI/M-Link

M-Link(MonitorLink™) is a Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for the display of high quality digital video signals from Mitsubishi products, such as the HD-6000 HDTV Receiver/Controller.

The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

supports uncompressed standard and high definition digital video formats and existing digital multi-channel audio formats. If using a cable box, the HDMI input supports both video and audio using a single cable.

12. 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 Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog

sound to your A/V receiver.

Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio

instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers

can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can damage

speakers. For this reason, the TV will automatically turn

off the digital audio output when tuned to a channel or

device that has MPEG-1 digital audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and right audio from Monitor

Output.

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.

The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V receiver.

Chart 1 shows TV inputs. 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 request by remote control.

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

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.

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

Please see page 17 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD.

IMPORTANT

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

IR Emitter NetCommand®

Figure 17

A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the

NetCommand system to control other devices such as

VCRs, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.

2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, along side or over the top of each device to be controlled to the area of the front where the remote control sensor is located.

3. Place the emitter end in front of the remote control sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter bulb should face the remote control sensor. This bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern.

The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the

remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to include the sensor.

6. 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. 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.

4. With some devices, the emitter will work better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.

5. The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.

Figure 17. 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 (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 TV has a communication speed of S400. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, select “Record Later”.

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

• This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer distances and multiroom applications. Included in the IEEE

1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b

converters to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394a devices.

• 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.

Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices, continued

Connection Styles

There are two different connection styles that can be used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that fits your network of audio/video products.

Direct Device-To-Device Style

The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain

devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you had to individually connect each device directly to the TV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 DVD Player and then connect the

1394 DVD Player to the TV. The resulting IEEE 1394

chain will allow you to add more devices to the chain. You will be able to see each video device on the TV’s Device Selection Menu and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible devices.

Hub Connection Style

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.

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.

Connecting: Helpful Hints

Q My VCR (or other device) does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs. How can I connect this device’s audio to both the TV and the A/V Receiver?

A. There are two solutions:

1. Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only. Use Edit NetCommand® to change the setup of this device. In the Connection screen of “Change” make sure both audio and video for the TV input are checkmarked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device’s audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details.

2. Use RCA type “Y” splitter cables to split the device’s audio output to be connected to both the TV and the A/V Receiver.

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

A. This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when

a digital audio signal is supplied. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched by remote control. For these types of A/V Receivers, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of these features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V Receiver.

Q. The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control sensor of the A/V Receiver. What can I do?

A. There are several possible solutions.

1. Mount the IR Emitter on the top, front edge of the A/V Receiver over the remote control sensor. Use tape to secure it in place.

2. Mount the IR Emitter on the underside of the shelf above the A/V Receiver (if the A/V Receiver is in a cabinet). Use double sided tape to secure it in place.

3. Some small stick-on emitters from other manufacturers may be compatible with this TV’s IR Emitter jacks.

These may be used instead of the supplied IR Emitters.

Q. I occasionally need to see the menu from my A/V Receiver. How can I connect it to the TV for this purpose?

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

NetCommand to “Add” this as an “Other” device, not an A/V Receiver. On the “Connection” screen, indicate which TV input was used and checkmark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not checkmarked. You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu. You can also use Input 3 (Camcorder) on the front panel.

Q. I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would like to be able use as well. Is there any way to connect this receiver both ways?

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

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.
