1. IEEE-1394 Input/Output
Use these jacks to connect the TV to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. There are
two jacks on the back panel for all models. For WS-55517, WS-65517 and WS-73517 there is an additional jack on
the front panel. IEEE 1394 connections provide a high degree of flexibility when connecting your NetCommand®
controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.
2. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)
ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both digital/analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or
non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.
Your primary viewing signal source should be connected to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view
premium subscription cable TV service authorized by the CableCARD™ access card. The CableCARD access card
is provided by your local cable company. ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable
signals.
3. 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. This output will
automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device. HDMI digital audio signals are not sent by this
output. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog signals and HDMI audio signals 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.
10
Back Panel, continued
4. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. 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. It also allows your cable provider to automatically
update and change your subscription. See pages 15, 25, and 44 for additional CableCARD information and
activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD, you will need to use an external cable box.
5. HDMI™ or DVI Devices
The HDMI™ interface supports uncompressed standard, enhanced and high definition digital video formats. This
interface also supports existing digital multi-channel audio formats. The HDMI input supports both video and
audio using one single cable. Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition
receiver or DVD player. This input supports the 480i, 480p and 1080i video formats. It is not intended for use with
personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions. Supported audio signal is PCM
linear stereo. Multi-channel surround sound is not supported.
This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs (see DVI Analog Audio, below).
An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor will be necessary to make this connection and can be purchased 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.
6. 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.
7. Component Inputs 1-2 YPbPr(480i/480p/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.
8. IR Output-NetCommand®
Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the TV’s
NetCommand system to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite and audio
receivers.
9. Monitor Output (Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)
The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals from the antennas or Inputs 1-3 to an A/V Receiver or
other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR. Digital channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be down converted to
analog signals compatible with traditional analog VCRs. There will be no video signals from digital channels or IEEE
1394 signals that have copy restrictions. There will be no video signals from Monitor Outputs when viewing the
Component 1 & 2 inputs or the HDMI input
Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should be
connected to your A/V Receiver for home theater surround sound.
10. Inputs 1-2
These inputs 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 you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO terminal
is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is available when there is no S-Video connection.
11. SERVICE PORT
This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Warning:
Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen
for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown.
Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types
should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same
stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave
subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing patterns. Reducing the initial contrast level can
help slow the aging process. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in
any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age,
their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under
these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is
evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black
or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause
uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.
Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video
tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter
boxes.
Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:
Letterbox top/bottom black bars:
shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.
Side bar images:
solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.
News and stock-market report bars:
ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.
Shopping channel logos & pricing displays:
bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.
Video game patterns and scoreboards
Bright station logos:
moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
Online (Internet) websites:
or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images, including digital photos or computer applications/
programs.
Closed Captioning
Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather than black or a bright color if you frequently use closed
captioning.
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 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 along with compatible
or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs
on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel 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 brand 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.

Mitsubishi strongly recommends against using
antennas with twin flat leads. Twin flat lead
antenna wires are subject to interference which
may adversely affect the performance of the TV.
We recommend using coaxial antenna cable.

Connecting the IR Emitter NetCommand
D
IR Emitter NetCommand®
Figure 13
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
VCR, 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.
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. 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.
5. The emitter end being used can be secured in place
using double stick tape.
®
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
TV back panel

IMPORTANT
If a single emitter end can be placed in a

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 IEEE 1394 Devices
4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style
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
4 pin connector
6 pin connector
The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is
to provide 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
connection jacks available. There
are two inputs on the back panel.
and an additional input on the
front panel.
The 6-pin connector is capable
of sending the same digital audio,
video and control signals as the
4-pin connector, but the 6-pin
connector is also able to send low
voltage electrical power. This TV
does not have 6 pin connectors.
A 6-pin connector cannot be
connected directly to a 4-pin
jack, and vice versa. Instead,
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 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, the slower device should be the source.
• 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
If you connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a
camcorder) that 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.
23
D
IEEE 1394 Device Connection Styles
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 DVCR 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.

CableCARD™ Definition and Initial Screen Display
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 the 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 Payper-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.
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.
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.
Please call XYZ Cable
at xxx-xxx-xxxx to
activate cable service.
They will need these numbers:
Host ID X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX
CableCARD
See owner's manual for
further information
An example of this type of screen is shown here.
Your screen will display specific information from
your cable provider and may not look exactly 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.
TM
ID: X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX
Please see page 15 for instructions on how to insert the
CableCARD.
IMPORTANT
To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming
cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN.

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 Antenna 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® Pre-Memorized Devices
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 you can 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.
