DTV LinkTM/IEEE1394 These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 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 NetCommand controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4. A digital control interface that works in conjunction with M-Link. While M-Link provides the digital video signal, the RS-232 control provides enhanced functioning such as automatic power ON/OFF and input port selection with an external control system. For RS-232C command protocol please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com. 12. Digital Audio Output Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system of the TV to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite receivers and audio receivers. 8. IR Emitter-NetCommand ® This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver's coaxial digital audio input. The output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device, except when using the TV Disc, which converts analog audio to digital. Use Monitor Output Audio 2 to send analog sound 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. 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. 9. DVI Analog Audio 10. HDMITM/M-Link M-Link(MonitorLinkTM) is a Mitsubishi exclusive proprietary digital interface for the display of high quality digital video signals from Mitsubishi products, such as the HD-6000 HDTV Receiver/Controller.

Connect the primary incoming coaxial lead cable to ANT-1 MAIN on the TV back panel. 2. For an optional secondary antenna source, connect an antenna (or cable) to ANT-2 AUX. 3. If you have subscribed to a CableCARDTM service, the CableCARD can now be inserted into the CableCARD SLOT. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the CableCARD cover screws. Insert the CableCARD, then replace the cover and screws. The top of the card should face in the direction the CARD TOP arrow indicates. Additional CableCARD information is on page 20.

They are available at most electronic stores. CableCARD SLOT TM 19 CableCARDTM 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. 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 Pay-per-View programs 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 capable 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 dataenhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable operator. Please see page 19 for instructions on how to insert the CableCARD. 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. Please call XYZ Cable at xxx-xxx-xxxx to activate cable service. They will need these numbers: Host ID X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX CableCARDTM ID: X-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX See owner's manual for further information An example of an initial screen is shown here. Your screen will display specific information from your cable provider and may not look 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. IMPORTANT To use a CableCARD, the primary incoming cable must be connected to ANT-1 MAIN. 20 Connecting a Lead Antenna or Separate UHF and VHF Antenna Lead Antenna (not for use with CableCARDTM) Figure 3 Figure 4 A UHF/VHF combiner is required.
