IEEE 1394 Devices Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices Compatible A/V devices include some, but not all, cable boxes, D-VHS VCRs, A/V discs, camcorders, 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 This TV can decode HDV (high-definition MPEG2 reso- lution) as provided by cable boxes and some camcord- ers. The TV cannot decode DV (standard-definition resolution video). If the TV is unable to decode the digital signal supplied by your camcorder, connect the camcorder to the TV using analog audio plus compos- ite 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. The TV may be unable 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.

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 communication 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 communication speed of s400. Devices with slow communication 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 ...

TV Signals and Display Formats This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV. This shape reflects the new types of images available from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow-screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there is no perfect solution for dis- playing a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which you can choose. Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last-used format for each device is used when you return to that device. DVD Definitions Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV) These DVDs are recorded in a special way to prop- erly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using the Standard format mode. This is the recommended viewing choice. Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen) These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally shaped, squarish TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

NetCommand About NetCommand • NetCommand setup is optional. • You can perform NetCommand setup when the TV first recognizes a device during Auto Input Sensing or at any convenient time afterward. • NetCommand operates by sending remote control signals from the TV to your other devices via the IR emitters, telling the devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume, change channels, or perform other functions. All this is accomplished with the TV’s remote control and the slide switch left in the TV position. • The IR “Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the TV to determine the IR control signals for your A/V devices. • NetCommand ® can control IEEE 1394 devices by sending control signals over a FireWire • You can choose the level of NetCommand control for your home theater. Important Note on NetCommand Be sure to connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and properly place the emitters so that Netcommand can control your devices.
IR Emitter Placement (NetCommand) An IR emitter cable is included with the TV. The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to the IR EMITTER jack to control other devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs. 1. Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter cable to the IR EMITTER NetCommand TV back panel. 2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, alongside, or over each device to be controlled so that the emitter end is in front of the area where the remote control sensor is located. 3. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to reach the sensor. The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible with the aid of 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 following these steps using the ...
Initial NetCommand Setup for Most Devices To perform this procedure, you need: • The remote controls for both the TV and the device you want to control. • The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV. Note: To set up an A/V receiver, see “Set Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver” later in this chapter. 1. Connect and position the IR emitters for the devices you wish to control. See “IR Emitter Place- ment” in this chapter. 2. Set the TV’s remote control slide switch to the TV position. 3. Open the NetCommand Learn screen in one of two ways: • If working from the Auto Input Sensing screen for the device, highlight the Learn icon and press ENTER to open the Learn screen for the device. • If performing NetCommand setup at any time after the device has been recognized through Auto Input Sensing: a. Press INPUT to open the Input Selection menu.

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 Cus- tomer installation. The foregoing shall be MDEA’s sole obligation to you under this limited warranty. All rights under this limited warranty on the Embedded Software also subject to your acceptance of and compliance with the terms of the Software License Agreement applicable to this television, and this limited warranty on the Embedded Software shall be null and void if the Embedded Software is modified or changed in any manner except as specifically autho- rized by MDEA. c. Labor. For thirty (30) days after the original purchase at retail, we will repair or replace, at our option, the lenticu- lar screen if it proves defective. 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. Notice. To obtain warranty service, you must notify an authorized MITSUBISHI service center of any defect within the applicable warranty time period.

Up to .01% pixel outages (small dot picture elements that are dark or incorrectly illuminated). b. Damage to the lenticular screen or Fresnel lens, screen frame, cosmetic damage or to any other damage where such damage is caused by unauthorized modification, alteration, repairs to or service of the product by anyone other than an authorized MITSUBISHI service center; physical abuse to or misuse of the product (including any failure to carry out any maintenance as described in the Owner’s Guide including air vent cleaning or any product damaged by excessive physical or electrical stress); any products that have had a serial number or any part thereof altered, defaced or removed; product use in any manner contrary to the Owner’s Guide; freight damage; or any damage caused by acts of God or other factors beyond the reasonable control of MDEA, such as power surge damage caused by electrical system or lightning. This limited warranty also excludes service calls where no defect in the product covered under this warranty is found, service calls related to unsatisfactory audio or visual reception or signal unless caused by a defect in the product that is covered under this limited warranty, all costs, expenses or any other damages arising from product installation, or set-ups, any adjustments of user controls (including con- trast, brightness, color, tint, fine tuning, sharpness), other adjustment necessary to prepare the unit for display or use, connection with any external audio receiver, antenna, cable or satellite systems, or service of products pur- chased or serviced outside the U.S.A.

ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY WHICH, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO A TERM OF ONE YEAR. 4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MDEA BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE. 5. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of inci- dental, special, or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. 6. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. 7.
