This TV is truiy a high - performance muitimedia monitor uniqueiy capabb of both stunning high - definition video images and clear , detailed , high - resolution PC images . Your TV can accept video signals from an antenna or direct cable service in standard video scanning rates of 480i , 480p , 720p , 1080i and 1080p . It is also able to accept , through the HDMI 2 connection , signals with PC resolutions from VGA ( 640 x 480 ) through XGA ( 1024 x 768 ) . When used with a compatible graphics card and controlling software , this TV is also able to accept the custom PC resolution of 720p ( 1280 x 720 ) . To connect a PC to HDMJ 2 , your PC must have a video card with DVI or HDMI output . You also need to perform NetCommand setup for the HDMI 2 PC input so that the TV knows to apply the correct PC - signal processing . All of the compatible video and PC signals will be converted to 1080p for final display ; some signals will , however , result in the addition of black side bars , top and bottom bars , or both , to fill the screen , and some signals will display standard video overscan . TV Disc JnternaJ DigitaJ Video Recorder ( DVR } TV Disc is an internal high - definition hard disk drive recorder , also known as a digital video recorder or DVR . In models WD - 62827 and WD - 73827 , this disc has a capacity of 160 gigabytes and can record up to 16 hours of high - definition programming . Models WD - 62927 and WD - 73927 contain a 250 - gigabyte disc that can record up to 25 hours of high - definition programming . TV Disc can record digital and analog programs received from CableCARD TM channels , Antenna 1 , Antenna 2 , devices connected to Input 1 - 3 , or IEEE 1394 devices . This exciting feature makes possible live TV pause with instant replay . Now you can record a high - definition program and watch it later without any loss of picture quality and without a VCR . Recordings on the TV Disc can be sent by an JEEE 1394 connection to D - VHS VCRs or to other JEEE 1394 - compatibb TVs and analog VCRs . When recording analog programs , TV Disc will use Dolby Digital recording technology to convert the analog stereo to high - quality digital stereo compatible with Dolby Digital decoding surround receivers . Note that a portion of the hard disc capacity is reserved for the TV Pause feature and is not available for video recording . DuaJ DigitaJ Tuners Dual digital tuners give you a high level of flexibility when using TV Disc . For example , you can record one analog or digital channel from CabbCARD TM on one antenna input ( Ant - l ) while viewing a different non - scrambbd analog or digital channel on the other antenna input ( Ant - 2 ) . You can record a non - scrambbd analog or digital channel from Ant - 2 while viewing an analog or digital channel from CabbCARD TM . Or you can view a device connected to a different input while recording a channel from CabbCARD TM , Ant - l , or Ant - 2 . Note that due to the unidirectional nature of CabbCARD service , it is not possible to view one CabbCARD channel and record another CabbCARD channel at the same time . DigitaJ CabJe Ready ( CabJeOARD TM } Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is " Plug - and - Play " ready . It can descrambb a cable provider's one - way digital signals with the use of a CabbCARD security module . The CabbCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box to access digital cable programming ( including high definition ) .

Connecting E × temai Devices and NetCommand ® Setup 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 also able to barn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV's memory . NetCommand can 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 TV and AiV receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen . To simplify the installation of NetOommand , there is a step - by - step on - screen NetOommand Setup procedure in this chapter , which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV . The NetCommand Setup also assigns preset TV and Device to be AiV receiver inputs for each device . You should connect each device to the TV input ( both audio and video ) and to the AiV receiver ( audio ) as shown in the figure below . If you _ ' connect devices to inputs AV other than the ones shown TV Receiver as presets , you must I stereo and / or digital audb cabbs 1 l change the NetCommand setup accordingly .

Helpful Hints for NetCommand Connections Q = lViyVCR ( 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 . 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 check marked and the audio for the AVR input is not check marked . This wiii allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device's audio to the AiV Receiver . See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details . Q = I have both the TV stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designations on my A / V Receiver . How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio ? A . In most setups , analog audio is also output as digital audio , so no switching is required , and there is no need to connect the analog output . In some circumstances , however , you may also need analog audio from the TV . For example , MP3 audio is only output in analog format , so you must connect the TV's anatog AUDIO OUTPUT to the AiV Receiver if you want to hear MP3 audio through the AiV receiver . Refer to your AiV Receiver user's guide to find out how analog / digital audio switching works . If your AiV Receiver's remote control has an Analog / Digital Audio key , you can use the GUIDE key with the following models to control switching : Mitsubishi M - VR900 Integra DTR - 9.1 Denon AVR - 2700 Kenwood VR - 2080 To make the switch , press the Device key on the TV's remote control , and from the Device Selection menu , press the Audio key . Then , with the AiV Receiver highlighted , press the GUIDE key to make the switch . If you have some other AiV Receiver model , use the TV's barn function to barn the analog / digital audio code for the GUIDE key . Foiiow the instructions above for using the GUIDE key . If your AiV Receiver has an Analog / Digital selection key on the front panel only , and not on the remote , then your only option is to use that key to perform switching . QoThe front panel of my A / V Receiver is too tammor too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote controm 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 AiV 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 AiV Receiver ( if the AiV 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 . Qo 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 AiV Receiver . On the " Connection " screen , indicate which TV input was used and check mark the video box . Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not check marked . You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu . You can also use Input 3 on the front panel . Q = I have a high definition receiver I woumd miketo connect and it amsohas an S = video output I woumd miketo be abmeuse as wemm , 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 Component - 1 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 AiV 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 . 34 Chapter2 .

NetCommand ® Introduction NetCommand makes your TV the heart of your Home Theater NetCommand @ is an intelligent control system that makes your Mitsubishi TV the _ ® heart of your home theater . With NetCommand , the TV sends signals to the other devices in the system via the IR emitters , telling the devices to play , record , change inputs , adjust volume , change channels and many more functions . All of this is accomplished with one remote control and without changing control layers . IR Learning and IEEE 1394 Support The BR " Learning " feature of NetCommand allows the TV to barn the remote control signals for new devices that the TV is not preprogrammed to operate . NetOommand @ also includes the capability of controlling IEEE 1394 devices by sending control signals on a FireWire @ cable . Using NetOommand is completely optional When you first turn on the TV , the NetCommand Setup Wizard launches . If you decide to use NetCommand , follow the on - screen instructions . If you choose not to use it right away , simply quit the Setup Wizard and NetCommand wiii remain inactive . Later , if you decide to use NetCommand , you can easily access the Setup Wizard . NetOommand and Levels of Control When you set up NetCommand , you decide how much control you want the TV to have over your home theater system . You have the choice of performing a basic , limited , or complete NetCommand setup . Basic Setup In a basic setup , NetCommand will : § automatically switch to the correct TV input when you want to view programming from a different device . All you do is select the device from the on - screen device selection menu . This saves you from having to search for the correct input every time you want to change devices . Unused inputs are automatically deactivated so that you don't see them in the menu . 0 show an on - screen icon for each device connected to the TV so you always know what devices are available . Note that with a basic setup , you still need to use the remote control specific to each device . Limited Setup in a limited setup , you get the benefits of the basic setup plus NetCommand control over the specific devices you have chosen . Use this type of setup if you : § only want NetCommand to control a few devices , such as the TV , a playback device ( like a DVD player ) , and a cable box . With this setup , you can use the TV's remote to control these devices . § want to use TV Guide On Screen @ to control your cable box and VCR and / or AiV disc . After performing this setup , you can use the TV's remote to control these devices . § want the ease and flexibility of NetCommand - controlled recording , with seamless setup of time - delayed or immediate recordings among networked devices . Full Setup Perform a full setup if you want NetCommand to : § control a surround sound AiV receiver . § automatically change input selections for the AiV receiver . § control all devices with the TV's remote , including the AiV receiver . § provide seamless setup of time - delayed or immediate recordings among networked device . NetCommand Helps You Manage " Your Home Theater With the NetCommand Review screen you can : o view a summary of all devices connected to the TV and the input used for each device . o deactivate or turn off unused input connections , then reactivate or turn them on when needed .
