Special Features of Your TV

Your new high-definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:

High Definition DLP™ Display System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV uses Texas Instruments most advanced Digital Light Processing™ technology for rear-projection televisions. This TV is truly a high-performance multimedia monitor uniquely capable 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 HDMI 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 Internal Digital 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™ 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 IEEE 1394 connection to D-VHS VCRs or to other IEEE 1394-compatible 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.

Dual Digital 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 CableCARD™ on one antenna input (Ant-1) while viewing a different non-scrambled analog or digital channel on the other antenna input (Ant-2). You can record a non-scrambled analog or digital channel from Ant-2 while viewing an analog or digital channel from CableCARD™. Or you can view a device connected to a different input while recording a channel from CableCARD™, Ant-1, or Ant-2. Note that due to the unidirectional nature of CableCARD service, it is not possible to view one CableCARD channel and record another CableCARD channel at the same time.

Digital Cable Ready (CableCARD™)

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV is “Plug-and-Play” ready. It can descramble a cable provider’s one-way digital signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability information and service details.

NetCommand® Home Network Control System

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking that can seamlessly integrate selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. NetCommand supports IEEE 1394 connections, Audio Video Control system (AV/C), 5C copy protection, and IR (infrared) control of selected older products, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. NetCommand has the capability of learning remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand home-theater system that works best for your viewing.
