front of the TV. This connection works the same way as the two rear IEEE 1394 connections.

11

Back Panel

5 4 3 2 1

1. Antenna (ANT-A, LOOP OUT, and ANT-B)

ANT-A and ANT-B receive analog NTSC signals from VHW

UHF antennas or an analog NTSC cable system. LOOP
OUT sends the ANT-A signal out to another component,
such as a cable box or VCR.

2. IR Emitter-Repeater

Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters.

Connecting IR emitters here allows the TV to pass IR

commands from most IF{remote controls to other A/V
devices that are out of range of the remote control.

3. IR Output-NetCommand ®

Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR

Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetOommand system of the "IV to control external analog

devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes satellite
receivers and audio receivers.

4. Digital Audio Output

This output provides Dolby Digital audio, received in the

signal from the ANT-DTV input and IEEE-1394 devices.

This output is intended to be connected to an external

audio receiver that is capable of decoding the digital
stream and converting it to analog signals suitable for
driving loudspeakers.

This output does not send a signal while analog devices

connected to other inputs are being used, when MP3
or WMA cards are being played, or when MPEG audio

signals are being received. These audio signals are

decoded by the TV internally and are output as analog left

and right audio to TV speakers and Monitor Output.

5. Antenna DTV (ANT-DTV)

This input receives digital TV signals from a VHF/UHF

antenna or unscrambled digital cable system. If the TV
receives scrambled cable signals on this input, it will
not be able to decode them. In this case, your cable

company must provide a decoding box.

6. M-LINK (MonitorLink TM)/DVI-HD

MonitorLink when used with MonitorLink Control is a
Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for

the display of high quality digital video signals from a

Mitsubishi HD Receiver/Controller, such as the HD-5000.

The MonitorUnk input can also be used as a DVI input

from other sources. The left and right audio allow the
external Mitsubishi HD']-V Receiver/Controller or DVI

set-top box to provide audio to the TV to be able to use

the TV speakers. When MonitorLink is used as DVl, it is

HDCP compatible.

NOTE: When MonitorLink is used as as DVI-HD
input, the terminal is compliant with EIA-861

standards for extended and high definition video,
however, this input is not intended for use with

personal computers or devices outputting video

signals with computer resolution.

7. MonitorLinkTM/RS-232C Control

A digital control interface that works in conjunction with

MonitorLink. While MonitorLink provides the digital
video signal, MonitorLink Control provides enhanced
functioning such as automatic power ON/OFF and input

selection. If you are not connecting a Mitsubishi HD']'V

Receiver/Controller with MonitorLink features, MonitorLink
Control can be used as an RS-232C control signal

input port with an external control system. Please visit
www.mistubishi-tv.com for RS-232 command protocol.

8. IEEE-1394 Input/Output

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external digital

products by means of a single cable. Three jacks (one

on the front panel and two on the back) are provided for
this purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility
for connecting your system together. Please refer to

NetOommand, later in this book for IEEE-1394 device

connection details.

9. 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,_ device to the TV. Please note that if
you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO terminal

is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is active when there is

no S-Video connection.

10. Component Inputs 1-2

YPbPr(480i/480p/1080i)

These inputs can be used for the connection of A/V

equipment with component video outputs, such as a DVD

player or external HDTV receiver. Please see Appendix B

for signal compatibility.

11. Input DTV (480i/480p/1080i)

This input is used to connect an external DTV receiver,

and can be configured for YPrPb and RGB plus
H&V signal types. Please see Appendix B for signal

compatibility.

12. Monitor Output (Audio Video 1, Audio 2)

The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals

from Ant-A, Ant-B or Inputs 1-3 to an A/V Receiver or
other analog A/V equipment. Ant-D'I-V and IEEE 1394

sources will be provided as down converted analog
signals to the Monitor Output jacks.

There will be no video signals from digital products if the

original signals are copy protected. No video signals are

provided from VGA, Component 1 and 2, MonitorUnk or
Input-D'l-V.

For recording with a VCR, use Audio Video 1. When

connecting to an A,_ Receiver, use Audio 2. If using the

A/V Receiver with NetOommand, the Audio 2 output will

always be Main, not PIP. If using an A/V Receiver without
NetCommand and Audio 2 is set for PIP audio then the

PIP's or POP's audio signal is sent to an amplifier or

wireless headphones. If no PIP or POP is displayed, the
output will not send audio.

13. VGA Video and VGA Audio

This input can be used for the connection of a computer.

Please see Appendix Bfor signal compatibility.

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 "]-Vshould include a mixture of "]-V

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 Cleaving

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.

Examples of these types of images can be, but
are not limited to the following:

_.. Letterboxtop/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 Iogos & pricing displays:
bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in

the same location.

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.

When using a computer or similar device through a VGA

input, be sure to turn on the Screen Saver feature and set

the activation time to 5 minutes or less. If your computer

program allows, you should also set your toolbars to the

hidden mode.

14

Video game patterns and scoreboards

Bright station Iogos:

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.

Closed Captioning

Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather
than black or a bright color if you frequently use closed
captioning.

Connecting External Devices & NetCommand® Setup

NetOommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the "IV

to each device. NetCommand is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not

already in the TV's memory. NetOommand will also 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 "IV and A/V Receiver

match the NetOommand Setup.

To simpfify the installation of NetOommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure. This

procedure details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetOommand Setup also assigns
preset TV and AN Receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and

video) and to the AN Receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.

NetCommand ® Pre-Memorized Devices

Below is a list of several manufacturers devices tested and shown to be compatible with the NetCommand control
system. When you use these devices you will be able to control them 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.

For each manufacturer, models other than those specified above may be compatible.

If the manufacturer of the device you own isnot listed below or if your device does not operate using the same remote

control as the models listed below, you should use the learning feature to add your device to the NetCommand memory.

The remote control signals of most audio video devices can be learned by NetCommand. However, there will be some

types of signals that cannot be learned.

For devices not listed in the table above, you can use the learning feature by selecting "Other" at the [Device] screen.

The procedure for this is outlined in the Edit NetCommand section of this book, Chapter 3.

NOTE: There are many different types of remotes and some of them may not 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.

IR Emitter Repeater

The emitters connected to these jacks are not used by

NetCommand, but will repeat any IF!command received
by the "FV.These emitters allow the TV to be the remote
control sensor for other devices outside the range of the
hand-held remote control. Do not use these repeaters

with devices that can receive the remote control signal

directly, as the signals can interfere with each other.

lB. Connect the IF{emitter to IF!EMITTER-REPEATER

on the -IV back panel.

!

After you have used 1A or 1B,

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.

, 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. 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.

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 is capable of

sending digital audio signals, digital
video signals and digital control

signals back and forth between

devices. Your TV has three 4-pin

6 pin connector have B pin connecters.

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 B-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.

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

"IV. For example, you can connect your D-VHS to your

1394 DVD Player and then connect the 1394 DVD Player
to the "IV. 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.

Digital

Digital VOR
DVD

TV

A B-pin connector cannot be

connected directly to a 4-pin
jack, and vice versa. To connect

a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device,
you will need to obtain a B-pin to

4-pin adaptor cable. These cables

6 prnt_4 pin _d_F_:tr

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, then you will need to connect

the camcorder directly to the household PC, or use the
camcorder's battery for power. If this is not possible,

then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to
another B-pin device in the network that can provide the

electrical power.

are available from electronic and
computer stores.

Hub Connection Style

The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect

your devices using the "IV 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.

Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices, continued

When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

• Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the -iV. 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 (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. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster
devices. When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device, select

"Record Later".

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

• This "]-Vis an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b is currently under development. This system will provide for longer

distances and multi-room applications. Included in the IEEE 1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b
converters to maintain compatibility with this "]-Vand other IEEE 1394a devices.

Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically

When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered ON, the new device will automatically
announce its presence. This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some non-audio/video

or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce their presence to the "]-V.

The "]-Vwill not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection menu, however, they can coexist and will still be

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

IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices.
For some compatible devices, the Cable/DBS/DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation.

If yOUchoose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device,
the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear. Name the
device or use the default name that appears automatically.

Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some D-VHS
VCRs, can also operate as analog devices. For example,

some D-VHS VCRs can record and play as VHS or S-VHS.

This allows you to play analog rental tapes or analog tapes

from your established library or make analog recordings
from antenna or cable systems. To use the analog
capability, check the Analog Connection box.

Receiver has other inputs than those listed in the menu,
those other inputs are not available for NetCommand.

The playback and record control of some DV camcorders

may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically,
even though you must use the video or S-video cable for
the picture. In this case, when you select the Camcorder,

be sure to select analog (not digital) from the pop up when

a camcorder is selected from the Device Selection menu.

Then the picture is shown via the analog connection but

control is from IEEE 1394.

Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote
control sensor, just as you have done for other
NetCommand® traditional devices. It is necessary to use

the IR Emitter only when the D-VHS VCR is being used as

an S-VHS or VHS VCR. When the D-VHS VCR is playing
or recording digital signals in D-VHS, the -IV will control

the VCR through the IEEE 1394 cable.

Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices

It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the "]-Vor with

the NetOommand® control system. Areas of compatibility to consider are:

1. Digital Video Signals

The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other types

of digital video, such as DVvideo, provided by some
camcorders, must be decoded by the source device and
sent to the TV as analog video or S-Video. /fthe camcorder

uses a compatible digital control system, the IEEE 1394
cable can still provide control for the camcorder while the TV

is viewing the analog video or S-Video signals.

2. Digital Audio Signals

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

/EEE 1394.

The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio

signals on the coaxial digital audio output, however these
signals may pass on the IEEE 1394 cable to other devices.

3. Digital Control Signal

The TV is able to act as the control center for IEEE 1394

audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable
boxes and amplifiers that are compatible with the following

/EEE 1394 control standards.

EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as cable

boxes allowing the device to send simple graphics.
However, this standard does not allow the TV to control

the cable box by/EEE 1394.

AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed to provide basic

controls such as play, stop, channel selection and volume,
as appropriate for the device. Some devices may have an

on-screen display for these functions.

HAVi (Home Audio Video Interoperablity) is designed
to handle AV/C type of control. Some HAVi devices are

able to "teach" the TV how to control more than basic

functions, this allows the TV to control non-traditional

devices or new types of devices not yet developed. The
device will inform the TV what information and control

buttons will be needed on device specific menus so the
additional functions can be controlled. The ability to learn

new menus from a HAVi device is only available on the

following models: WS-55913, WS-65713, WS-65813 and
WS-73713.

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.

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

NstCommand menu.

NetCommand Control of Digital

Devices Using the "Learn" Feature.

Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite

receivers will not have compatible digital control signals or

require the use of the device's own remote control. Some
of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display on-screen

information through the/EEE 1394 connection and will

require using an analog connection for on-screen displays.

/n many cases, to control these digital devices, the Learning
feature of NetCommand can be used.

1. Place an IR Emitter for NstCommand in front of the

device's remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 26).

2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 46)

check mark the Analog Connection check box.

3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type

screen (Figure 3, page 47) of cable box, DBS or similar
tuning device.

4. Select "Other" as a manufacturer and then highlight

"Learn" and press ENT(er) on the Device screen (Figure 4,

page 47).

5. Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit
NstCommand section of Chapter 3.

6,

The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 47) follows the

learning screens. If analog connections are used, select

the correct inputs. /f analog connections are not used,

uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV

and AVR inputs.

7. Proceed with the Finish screen.

This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote

control these/EEE 1394 devices.

Note: When using the NetCommand learning feature for
/EEE1394 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.

Your Mitsubishi "TVhas three picture tubes which need to

be aligned to properly converge the projected light beams
on the screen. Each picture tube projects a single color of

red, blue or green.

During production, your TV was carefully adjusted to
properly align these colors. However, moving the TV, the

"TV's location in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles,

and the passage of time can cause these adjustments to
change.

As a special feature, you have the ability to adjust the

red and blue light beams in reference to the fixed green
light beam. This process is called convergence. There

are two separate memories for convergence. One, for
SD 480i/480p signals; the other for HD 1080i signals. SD

convergence should be adjusted while watching an SD

IMPORTANT NOTES/

WARNING: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for

extended periods of time. Mix 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 a subtle but permanent ghost

image. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Do
not show the same stationary image for more than

15% of your total TV viewing in any one 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

"]-Vpictures 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 used in the picture tubes and can leave

subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.

When using a computer or similar device through a
VGA input, be sure to turn on the Screen Saver feature

and set the activation time to 5 minutes or less. If your

computer program allows, you should also set your
toolbars to the hidden mode.

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 include, but are not limited to the following:

[] Letterbox top/bottom black bare: shown at the
top and bottom of the "]-Vscreen 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.

[] Stock-market report bare: ticker running at the

bottom of the TV screen.

[] Shopbing channel loges & bricing disblays: bright
graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same

location.

[] Video game patterns and scoreboards

[] Bright station loges: moving or low-contrast graphics are

less likelyto cause unevenaging of the picture tubes.

[] On-line (Interrtet) web sites: or any otherstationaryor

repetitive computer style images.

[] Closed Caption Backgrounds: Whenset to black or

bright color, if Close Caption will be used frequently, Mitsubishi

suggests the use ofthe gray background.

NetCommand® Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections

What is a Peer-to-Peer Connection?

Figure t
A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices

in your "FVnetwork to talk to each other without the
further need of -IV intervention once the peer-to-peer

connection is established.

For example, the -IV can setup a connection for an A/V

Disc or DVCF! that sends a recorded program to an

IEEE 1394 monitor in another room. NetCommand will

establish the connection between the two devices. Once
the connection has been established, the TV can be

turned off or used to watch another device. Recording
from Ant-DTV to a DVCF! is also a peer-to-peer

connection. In this case the "]-Vis one of the devices in
the peer-to peer connection.

Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be

used for peer-to-peer connections.

Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection

A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and

cannot be setup as a delayed connection.

To establish a peer-to-peer connection:

1. Press REC on the "]-Vremote.

Definitions:

4.80i Signals: Traditional interlaced signals from or through
Ant-A, Ant-B, Inputs 1-3, Component 1 & 2, and Inp-DTV.

Standard: This is the full screen format. HDTV signals

usually use this format. This format is useful to display

Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect

ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect
ratio will still display black bars at the top and bottom,
but will show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:

3) images will be stretched evenly from side to side.

Available for all signals.

Expand: This will enlarge the picture to fill the screen,

cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom.

This is useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom

bars of non-anamorphic DVD. Available for analog 480i,

480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, cropping off some

of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is

useful to remove or reduce the black top and bottom
bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Available for analog 480i and 480p signals only.

Stretched: This format will stretch a narrow (4:3) image

across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the

center than the sides. This will allow the entire narrow

image to be displayed across the screen with less

distortion than seen in the Standard format. Available
for analog 480i and 480p signals only.

480p Signals: Progressive scan OVOsignals through
Component 1 &2 and Inp-DTV.

1080i Signals: High definition signals received through
Component 1 &2 and Inp-DTV.

SD 4:3: Standard definition narrow screen format signals
from Ant-DTV and/EEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard definition wide screen format signals
from Ant-DTV and/EEE 1394 devices.

HD: High definition wide screen format signals from Ant-DTV

and IEEE-1394 devices.

Anamorphic (also listed as "Enhanced for Widescreen
TVs): These DVDa are recorded in a special way to properly

show high-resolution images on 16:9 TV sets in the standard

mode. This is the recommended choice.

Non-Anamorphic (also listed as 4:3, 1:33:1, Letterbox

or Full Screen}: These DVDs are recorded for use with

traditional shaped TVs. They may be full screen (on
4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or

Letterboxed which adds black top and bottom bars.

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, however

to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is
expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom.

Useful when no important information is shown at the
top and/or bottom of the screen. Available for analog
480i and 480p signals only.

Narrow: This format will display narrow (4:3) images in

their original shape, and add stationary gray 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 on HD broadcasts

of 4:3 images with black bars. Available for analog
1080i, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals.

This information may or may not be listed on the DVD

case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.

Appendix B: High Definition Input Connection Compatibility

Component-1 and Component-2 Inputs

These inputs are compatible with component video signals from standard DVD players and other equipment

sending a standard NTSC component video signal (483i). These inputs are also compatible with newer DVD players
sending 480p and are compatible with signals from digital TV receivers that send 1083i component video signals.

VGA Input

This input will accommodate most computers capable
of supporting a VGA monitor. The only compatible
display resolution is 643x480. The sync rate is 63 Hz.

SVGA and XVGA resolutions are not supported.

InputDTV

This input is compatible with most standard DTV and

satellite receivers with component video (YPbPr)

outputs. Compatible DTV signals are SD'I-V 480V480p,

and HDTV 1080i. All other DTV signals, such as 720p,

need to be converted by the DTV receiver to one of the

compatible signal types. Please check the DTV receiver

specifications before connecting.

This input is compatible with some DTV receivers using

RGB with "separate H and V sync". Compatible DTV

signals are SD'I-V 480i, 480p, and HDTV 1080i. All

other DTV signals, such as 720p, need to be converted

by the D'I-V receiver to one of the compatible signal
types. Industry standards for DTV RGB signals

(systems, synchronization, timing, and signal strengths)

are not currently established. These inputs will not be

compatible with all DTV receivers that offer RGB, HV

outputs. RGB, HV signals with less than 5 cables are

not compatible.

If your DTV receiver offers both DTV component video

signals and DTV RGB, HV signals, we suggest you use
the D'I-V component video signals. Check the D'I-V

receiver specifications before connecting.

These D-VHS VCRs are fully compatible with this TV.

As other manufacturers produce products that use IEEE 1394 AV/C and HAVi, they will be responsible for the

development of their products to meet the standards of the technology, as well as compatibility testing with other

products. Mitsubishi cannot be responsible for their efforts, and therefore cannot promise compatibility with these

other products. Any compatibility problems with other manufacturers products should be brought to the attention of
those manufacturers.

Full HAVi compatibility is limited to models WS-55813, WS-65713, WS-65813 and WS-73713. Basic function HAVi

compatibility is available with the other TV models.
