Connecting: Helpful Hints

QMy VCR (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.There are two solutions:

1.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 checkmarked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device’s audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details.

2.Use RCA type “Y” splitter cables to split the device’s audio output to be connected to both the TV and the A/V Receiver.

Q. I have both the TV monitor stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designation on my A/V Receiver. How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio?

A.This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when a digital audio signal is supplied. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched by remote control. For these types of A/V Receivers, see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of these features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V Receiver.

Q.The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control 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 A/V 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 A/V Receiver (if the A/V 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.

Q.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 A/V Receiver. On the “Connection” screen, indicate which TV input was used and checkmark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not checkmarked. You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu. You can also use Input 3 (Camcorder) on the front panel.

Q.I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would like to be able use as well. 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 Antenna 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 A/V 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.

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.
