digita] and anaiog over-the-air channeis from a VHFiUHF

antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.

Your primary viewing signal source should be connected

to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-I MAIN must be used to view
premium subscription cable TV service authorized by the

CabteCARDTM access card. The CableCARD access card
is provided by your Iocat 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.

4. COMPONENT 1, 2, and 3 Inputs

YPbPr (480i/480p/720pi1080i}

These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with

component video outputs, such as a DVD piayer, externaI

HDTV receiver, or compatible video game system. Please

see Appendix A for signal compatibility.

5. DVl AnaJog Audio

Uniike HDMI, DVl 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 [}"71instead

of HDMI, such as DVl 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 LinkiEEE 1894) 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
AiV 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

16 Chapter 1. Television Overview

TV Back Panel, continued

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 a Component

input or the HDMI input is selected for recording.

7. HDMI TM 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 HDMPto-DVI
adaptor or cable is necessary to make this connection
and may be available from your local electronics retailer.
When using the optional HDMPto-DVI adapter, the DVI
analog audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left
and right audio from your DVI device.

9, CabJeOARD TM SJot

The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service

provider is inserted into this sloL The top of the card

should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP ,A.
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows

your local cable TV provider to supply you with an
access card customized to your account. This card
allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the

premium digital channels included in your cable TV

subscription without the use of a cable box. See page
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. DigitaJ 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 AiV

receiver. If you have MP3 audio from memory cards,

however, you need to connect the TV's analog AUDIO
OUTPUT (left and right) to your AiV receiver.

Connecting E×temai Devices and NetCommand® Setup

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to

each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it can barn 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 AiV 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 AiV receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio
and video) and to the AiV 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 45.

CabJeOARD TechnoJogy

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 CableOARD is a new technology and
your local cable provider may not currently be offering
this service. As time passes, this system wiii 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
wiii be available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network

and can be shared by other products on the networL
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 (CabieCARD) 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.

An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitter end being used can be secured in place

using double stick tape.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the

NetCommand system and by TV Guide On ScreenCb to
control other devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Cable

boxes and Satellite receivers.

1_ Connect the plug end of the supplied [R Emitter

CaMe to either one of the [R Output NetCommand

jacks on the TV back panel

2_

Run the came for each of the emitter ends under,
alongside, or over the top of each device to be

controlled to the area of the front where the remote
control sensor is [ocated.

3_ Place the emitter end in front of the remote control

sensor of the device to be contro[[ed. The emitter
bulb should face the remote control sensor. This

bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern.

The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the

remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to

include the sensor.

The remote control sensor is usually behind the

plastic window of the front display panel It is
sometimes visible when you look through the display
plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or
square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see

the sensor and the device's Owner's Guide does
not specify the location, you can find it by using the

device's remote control
a. Hold the remote about one-haft 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 one 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 wi[[ be somewhere

between these two positions. This is usually
enough accuracy for the placement of the [R

emitters.

With some devices, the emitter works better facing

downward from the top of the device. Some
experimentation may be needed.

If you are not going to be using a[[ emitter ends, place
the unused ends behind the devices so that they

Connecting Compatibme IEEE 1394 Devices

CompatibJe IEEE 1394 Devices

Compatible A/V devices include some, but not all, came

boxes, D-VHS VCRs, A/V discs, and future products. It
is aHsopossibHe to connect devices to the TV that have
[EEE 1394 connectors but are not compatibHe with the

TV or with the NetCommand® controH system. Areas of

compatibiHity to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The TV is aMe to decode MPEG2 and DV video as

provided by some camcorders. If the TV is unaMe to
decode the digitaH signaHsuppHied by your camcorder, try
S-video with anaHog audio connections instead. Other
types of digitaHvideo, such as PC video provided by
some computers, must be decoded by the source device
and sent to the TV as anaHogvideo, S-video, or HDMI

video.

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 EEE 1394cable to other devices.

3. Digital Control Signal

The TV can serve 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.

This standard does not, however, 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.

Digital

TV

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 $400. 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 device and a slower device, make the slower

device the source and make the faster device the
recorder_

Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable over 15 feet in length
between each device.

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

with a 1394b system when an EEE-1394a-to-1394b
convertor is used. 1394b systems are capable of
greater distances 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.

The IEEE 1394 interface may not provide reliable control

signals for some DV camcorders, especially older models.

If your camcorder operates incorrectly or not at all, use
the camcorder's control buttons instead of the IEEE 1394

connection.
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.

IMPORTANT

Playback

, When viewing DV camcorders, it is normal

for temporary audio and video distortion to

occur under conditions such as:

i!i

Playback start and stop
® Playback pause
* Forward or reverse picture search

Some DV Camcorder models are not

patible with this TV's IEEE 1394 system,

Because of this, the "New 1394 Device"

screen will not appear when the camcorder

ia connected, For playback of incompatible
DV camcorders, try S-video with analog

audio connections instead,

4-PinoStyme vs. 6oPin-Styme 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

4 pin connector

6 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 6-

pin connector without using the two additional pins.

6 pin to 4 pin adaptor

When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a camcorder)
to the TV, (if it is designed to receive electrical power
from another 6-pin device) you wiii need to connect
the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the
camcordeFs 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.

jacks available. One is on the front

panel and two are on the back.

The 6-pin connector can send

the same digital audio, video,
and control signals as the 4-pin
connector, but the 6-pin connector
can also send low-voltage electrical

power. This TV does not have 6-pin

connectors.

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 need
to obtain a 6-pin-to-4-pin adaptor
or adaptor cable. These cables

are available from electronic and
computer stores.

Helpful Hints for NetCommand Connections

e.

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 onHy. 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 the audio for the AVR input is not check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV

outputs to transfer the device's audio to the AiV 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
AiV Receiver if you want to hear MP3 audio through the AiV receiver. Refer to your AiV Receiver user's guide to
find out how analog/digital audio switching works.

If your AiV 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-9J
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 AiV Receiver highlighted, press the GUIDE key to make the switch.

If you have some other AiV 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 AiV 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 AiV 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 AiV Receiver (if the AiV 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 AiV 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 AiV 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

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 (R"Learning" feature of NetCommand allows the TV to barn 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 HetOommand 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.
HetOommand 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.

o Basic Setup

In a basic setup, NetCommand will:
0 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.

0 show an on-screen icon for each device connected to the TV so you always know what devices are available.

V®

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:

0 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.

0 want to use TV Guide On Screen@ to control your cable box and VCR and/or AiV 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:

0 control a surround sound AiV receiver.
0 automatically change input selections for the AiV receiver.

0 control all devices with the TV's remote, including the AiV receiver.

HetOommand 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.

Using the Remote Control with NetCommand®

Bellow is a Histof severaH manufacturers' devices tested and shown to be compatibHe with NetCommand. These devices

can be controlled without changing the setting of the remote controH from TV to another product. NetCommand may

be aMe to operate additionaH modeHs, since many manufacturers use the same controH signaHs to operate some or aH
of the modeHs they offer. This chart HistsonHythe modeHs that have been tested with NetCommand. The NetCommand
Learning feature is abHeto Hearnthe remote controH signaHs of most audio/video devices. For devices not Histed in the
tame, or if your device does not operate using the same remote controH as the modeHs Histedbellow, 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 33 and 34 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.

NetOommand ControJ of DigitaJ Devices Using the "Learn" Feature.

Some IEEE 1394 devices, such as came boxes or satellite receivers, will not have compatibHe digitaHcontroH signaHs
or require the use of the device's own remote control Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not dispHay on-screen

information through the BEEE1394 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 29, page 54) use ADJUST and ENTER to check mark the Analog

Connection box.

3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 30, page 55) 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 31, page

55).

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 32, page 55) 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.

Chapter 3. NetCommand Setup and Editing 53

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices

Addition of IEEE 1394 devices is a speciaH case of

NetCommand setup because the devices are detected
automatically. You review, edit, and deHetethese devices
through NetCommand just as you wouHd any other

devices.
When you connect an IEEE 1394 device to the TV network

and power it on, the new device automatically announces

its presence. This process is called device discovery and
can take up to one minute.

Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394
devices, such as personaH computers (PCs), may not
announce their presence to the TV. The TV is not abHe

to show these devices in the Device SeHection menu.

They can, however, coexist and are still available to other

devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible
with these non-audio/video devices.

Try using the CableiSATiDTV position of the TV remote

control to see if it can control operation of IEEE 1394
cable boxes and satellite receivers. If not, use the remote

control that came with the device.

Name for 1394 Device Screen

Figure 29

If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device,

the Name for 1394 Device screen appears. Enter a new

name for the device or use the default name that appears

automatically. The name used in this screen is the name
that appears in the Device Selection menu.

The DV option applies only to digital camcorders at

this time and is typically detected automatically by the

TV. If your camcorder uses DV formatting but the box is

unchecked, add the check mark manually.

To use the analog capability of some IEEE 1394 devices,

such as some DVCRs and cable boxes, check the Analog
Connection box.

Some DVCRs, for example, 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 to make

analog recordings from an antenna or cable
system.
Some cable boxes with IEEE 1394 connections

require an analog connection for on-screen

guides and emergency notices.

New 1394 Device Screen

Figure 28

When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device, the

New 1394 Device screen appears. Select "Add" or "Do

Not Add" depending on whether or not you want the
device added 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.

Note: You never need to check both the DV and Analog

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.

O Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

O Tint

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

0 Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

0 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. Natural/Color Temp at the

low setting displays video at the 6500K industry

standard for NTSC pictures.
High: White images will have a cool cast to them.

This setting may provide the most realistic picture

under bright lighting.

TV Display Formats

This is a widescreen TV, aiso known as a 16:9 TV. This shape reflects the new types of images avaiiabb from HDTV

and many DVDs. There are still many oider styb narrow-screen images (caNed 4:3 aspect ratio) you win encounter.
WhiNethere win never be a perfect soiution for dispiaying a narrow image on a wide screen, MitsubisM offers severai
dispiay formats from which to choose.

Press FORMAT on the TV remote controi to cycb through
the avaiiabb dispiay formats. The Hast-used format for
each device is used when you return to that device.

Note: Not all formats are available for PJPI

POP. Side-by-Side is only available in Standard
and Expand formats, Three POP is available
in Standard format only. PO formats vary
depending on the 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.

Format Definitions

Standard: This is the fulhscreen 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; there is less stretch in the center
than at the sides, however. This aiiows 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.

Signal Definitions

480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from

or through ANTq and 2, INPUT 1 and 2, COMPONENT 1-3,
and HDMI 1 and 2.

480p Signals: Progressive-scan analog DVD signals on

COMPONENT inputs and HDMI 1 and 2.
720p & 1080i Signals: High-definition analog signals

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

These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3: Standard-definition narrow-screen format signals
from digital channels and JEEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen format signals
from digital channels and EEE 1394 devices.

ND: High-definition wide-screen format signals from digital
channels and EEEN394 devices. These signals are always

16:9 (widescreen).

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but 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.

Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) images in their
original shape, and adds 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.
