Mitsubishi Electronics LT-3780 Media Center Rear Panel, A. MonitorLink RS-232C Control, Input-1

Chapter 1: Product Overview

Media Center Rear Panel

To provide complete HDTV funtionality, the display and media center must be connected using both MonitorLink™ terminals [A] and [B].

A. MonitorLink™ RS-232C Control

Use the supplied RS-232C cable to connect the RS-232C terminal on the display [A] to the RS-232C terminal on the media center [A]. This output only supports the display.

B. MonitorLink™ A/V Output

Use the supplied A/V cable to connect the MonitorLink A/V Input terminal on the display [B] to the MonitorLink A/V Output terminal on the media center [B]. This output only supports the display.

1. IR Emitters and NetCommand®

Two terminals are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these terminals are used by the NetCommand system of the media center to control external analog devices such as a VCR, DVD player, cable box, satellite receiver and A/V receiver.

2 . Input-1, -2

Input 1 and 2 can be used for the connection of a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver or other A/V device to the media center. Either S-VIDEO or (Composite) VIDEO can be selected, but both cannot be connected at the same time.

3. HDMI Input-1, -2

Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition cable box, satellite

receiver or DVD player. This input supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video formats. It is not intended for use with personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions.

This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs (see item 4). An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable will be necessary to make this connection and may be available from your local electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to- DVI adapter, the DVI analog audio inputs on your media center allow you to receive left and right audio from your DVI device.

This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

4. DVI Audio Input

Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI. A DVI-to-HDMI video adapter (purchased separately) is needed. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable.

5. Component-1, -2 Inputs

YPbPr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with component video outputs, such as a high definition cable box, satellite receiver, DVD player or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix D for signal compatibility.
