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.

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). To connect a PC to HDMI 2, you need a PC video card with DVI or HDMI output. Next

you need to perform NetCommand setup for the HDMI 2 PC input so that the TV knows to apply the correct PC-signal

processing. 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-definition 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.

Memory Card Reader

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

recorded on compatible memory cards.

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

16 Chapter 1. Television Overview

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/720p/1080i)

These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with

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

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

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™ 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.

HDMI 2

HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option in the Device Setup screen. To do this at any time afterwards, use the NetCommand Add function.

To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output,

you must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.

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 is in Chapter 2,

“Connecting.”

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 .

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. 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 from memory cards, however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO

OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.

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 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 45.

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.

After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to the NetCommand menu at any time to change the inputs you used for connecting each device, custom name devices, add devices not included in the presets above or delete devices no longer used. See Edit NetCommand. See Helpful Hints at the end of this chapter for additional information on device setup.

See owner's manual for further information

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.

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 data-enhanced 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

Connecting an A/V Receiver (Stereo System) Connecting a Satellite Receiver or Other Device with S -Video

A/V Receiver (Stereo System)

Figure 7 Most setups require either a digital audio cable or stereo audio cables. In some circumstances, you may need to connect both digital audio and stereo audio. A digital audio cable is provided with the TV. Stereo audio cables are not included.

A. To connect an analog A/V receiver:

Connect a set of stereo audio cables from AUDIO OUTPUT on the TV back panel to the TV AUDIO INPUT on the back of the A/V receiver. The red cable connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel.

B. To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby®

Digital surround sound:

Connect one end of the digital audio cable supplied with the TV to DIGITAL AUDIO on the back of the

TV. Connect the other end to the COAXIAL DIGITAL

INPUT on the back of the A/V receiver.

Satellite Receiver or Other Device with S-Video

Figure 8

An S-Video cable and audio cables are required. These are not

included with the TV.
