Back Panel

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 and one 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 2.

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, IEEE 1394 devices and HDMI™ (not

DVI) signals 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. Use Monitor Ouput Audio 2 to send

analog 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. You can enable the digital output to include MPEG-1 digital audio if your A/V receiver is capable of decoding it. See Edit NetCommand in Chapter 3 for details.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After initially setting up NetCommand, you can use the Edit 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 Helpful Hints, at the end of this chapter for additional information on device setup.

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.

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.

6. If you are not going to be using all emitter ends, place the unused ends behind the devices, on a shelf or in an out-of-the-way location so that they cannot send signals to the remote control sensors.

IMPORTANT

If a single emitter end can be placed in a

Figure 13. Connecting IR Emitter NetCommand

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 IEEE 1394 Devices

6 pin to 4 pin adaptor

4 pin connector

6 pin connector

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 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.

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.

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. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices.

• 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.

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.

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.

Hub Connection Style

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.

CableCARD™ Definition and Initial Screen Display

See owner's manual for further information

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 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 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.

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.

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.
