  • Page 18: Cablecard™ Technology

    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. When you move to a new cable provider’s area, return the CableCARD to the original cable provider and get a new card from your new provider. Please note that CableCARD is a relatively new technology and your local cable provider may not currently be offer- ing this service. As time passes, this system will become broadly supported by most cable providers. The CableCARD system is unidirectional, meaning your cable provider can send updates to the TV, but the TV cannot send signals back. As a result, certain advanced and interactive digital cable services, such as requests for video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced television services may require use of a set-top box instead. For more information, call your local cable opera- tor. Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD are available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. You may be unable to record or copy some digital programs, however, because of copy restrictions set by the content or copy- right owners. Using a CableCARD™ Power on the TV and insert the CableCARD into the CableCARD slot with the top of the card oriented as indi- cated by CARD TOP . When the initial screen dis- plays, write down the information that appears and have it ready when calling your cable provider. In order to start cable service for this device, please contact your cable provider 1-800-xxx-xxxx...

    IEEE 1394 Devices Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices Compatible A/V devices include some, but not all, cable boxes, D-VHS VCRs, A/V discs, and future products. Some devices may have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV. Areas of compatibility to consider are: 1. Digital Video Signals The TV can decode MPEG2 and DV, and HDV video as provided by cable boxes and some camcorders. If the TV is unable to decode the digital signal supplied by the camcorder, connect the camcorder to the TV using analog audio plus composite video, S-video, or component video, or use HDMI audio/video. Other types of digital video, such as PC video provided by some computers, must be decoded by the source device and sent to the TV as analog video, S-video, or DVI/HDMI video. 2. Digital Audio Signals When received with video signals, the TV can decode Dolby Digital signals and MPEG audio signals. Other types of digital audio as provided by some digital record- ing devices, such as MP3 audio and DTS audio, cannot be decoded by the TV when received over IEEE 1394 con- nections. The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output. These signals may pass to other devices, however, on IEEE 1394 cables. 3. Digital Control Signal The TV can serve as the control center for IEEE 1394 audio/video devices, such as VCRs, A/V Discs, tuners, cable boxes, and amplifiers that are compatible with the...
  • Page 30 IEEE 1394 Devices, continued Tips for 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 (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 communica- tion speed is marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number. The higher the number, the faster the communication speed. This TV has a communica- tion speed of s400. Devices with slow communica- tion speeds can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices. When setting up a digital recording between a faster device and a slower device, make the slower device the source and make the faster device the recorder. • Use IEEE 1394 cables 15 feet or less in length between devices. • This TV is an IEEE 1394a device. It can be used with an IEEE 1394b system when an IEEE-1394a-to-1394b convertor is used. IEEE 1394b systems are capable of greater distances and multi-room applications.
  • Page 31: Ir Emitter Netcommand® And Tv Guide On Screen

    IR Emitter NetCommand® and TV Guide On Screen An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

Some non-audio/video or incompatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as personal computers (PCs), may not be detected by the TV and do not appear in the Input Selection menu. Such devices can, however, coexist and are still available to work with other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non-audio/video devices. Some devices may be a combination of two or more types of devices, such as 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 Input Selection menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will appear to allow you to select the sub-unit you wish to use. Recording to IEEE 1394 Devices You can use the TV to control recording to IEEE 1394 devices. The following table lets you see what signals can be recorded to an IEEE 1394 digital VCR or A/V disc.

  • Page 91: Adjusting Image Resolution

    Adjusting Image Resolution Your Mitsubishi TV can display resolutions from standard VGA (640 x 480) through 1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The resolution of 1920 x 1080 is supported at refresh rates of 24, 30, and 60 Hz. See Appendix B in this book for more on compatible screen resolutions. When connecting a computer providing digital video, in most cases the computer will select the best resolution match to display on the TV. You can override this setting if you wish. For a computer providing analog video, you may need to set the resolution manually. The instruc- tions below are for setting the resolution on most personal computers. 1. In the PC’s Start menu, select Settings. 2. Select Control Panel. 3. Select Display. 4. Choose the Settings tab. 5. Change the resolution to the highest resolution with the aspect ratio best suited for the image. See the Figure 5. Computer resolution, XGA selection table on the next page showing possible PC formats.

The lamp and all other parts (except any software incorporated into this television) are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase at retail. We will repair or replace, at our option, any defective part without charge for the part. Parts used for replacement may be replaced with those of like kind and quality and may be new or remanufactured. Parts used for replacement are war- ranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. b. Embedded Software.

The limited warranty contained in this section shall continue for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase at retail. If, after prompt notice within the warranty period, MDEA determines that the Embedded Software has failed to perform in accordance with such functional description in all material respects and if such failure is not due to accident, misuse, modification or misapplication of the Embedded Software, then MDEA shall modify or replace the nonconforming Embedded Software at no charge to you, which at MDEA’s sole discretion may be fulfilled by means of modification or replacement software contained on a replacement memory card for Customer installation. The foregoing shall be MDEA’s sole obligation to you under this limited warranty.

For certain items that are designed to be replaced by the consumer, including (but not limited to) some Embedded Software, the consumer is solely responsible for any replacement labor. For all other parts, we will provide the labor for a warranty repair by an authorized MITSUBISHI service center without charge for one (1) year from the original date of purchase at retail. d.
