A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV.

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the NetCommand system to control other devices such as VCR, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.

1.Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.

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.

3.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.

5.The emitter end being used can be secured in place using double stick tape.

6.Place any unused emitters in an out-of-the-way location.

IMPORTANT

If a single emitter end can be placed in a position that will operate more than one device, do not use a separate emitter end for the additional device. A single device receiving remote control signals from too many emitters or remote controls may not respond at all.

WS-48515, WS-55615A, WS-55615, WS-73615, WS-65515A specifications

The Mitsubishi Electronics WS series of rear-projection televisions, specifically models WS-65615, WS-65515, WS-65615A, WS-55515, and WS-65515A, represent a significant era in home entertainment technology. Known for their innovative features and exceptional image quality, these models were well-regarded for both functional performance and design.

One of the most notable characteristics of the WS series is their use of DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. This allows for sharper images and more vibrant colors compared to traditional CRT televisions. DLP technology also reduces issues like pixelation, offering a smoother image overall. The WS-65615 and WS-65615A feature a large 65-inch screen, delivering an immersive viewing experience perfect for movie nights and gaming. Meanwhile, the WS-65515 and WS-65515A provide a slightly smaller 55-inch display, which still offers remarkable visuals without taking up as much space.

All models are equipped with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input, ensuring compatibility with modern devices like Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. This connectivity is crucial for those looking to enhance their entertainment systems with the latest technology. Additionally, the WS series supports various audio-video formats, giving users flexibility in how they enjoy their content.

Another key feature is the incorporation of a 3D-ready capability, making these TVs future-proof for a time when 3D content was gaining traction. This aspect attracted cinema enthusiasts who wanted to bring an enhanced experience home. The models also include a built-in digital tuner, allowing users to access over-the-air broadcasts without needing an external box.

The WS-65615 and WS-65515 models additionally boast a stylish and slim design that fits well within modern living spaces, combining aesthetics with functionality. Their lightweight construction allows for easier installation and setup.

Overall, the Mitsubishi Electronics WS-65615, WS-65515, WS-65615A, WS-55515, and WS-65515A televisions deliver a compelling mix of advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and stunning visuals. While they may be considered legacy models today, they still exemplify the quality and innovation Mitsubishi Electronics strived for in enhancing the home viewing experience.
