1. IEEE-1394 Input/Output

Use these jacks to connect the TV to external IEEE

1394 digital products by means of a single cable. There are two jacks on the back panel for all models. For WS-55615, WS-55615A, WS-65615, WS-65615A and WS-73615 there is an additional jack on the front panel. IEEE 1394 connections provide a high degree of flexibility when connecting your NetCommand® controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.

2.Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)

ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both digital/analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.

Your primary viewing signal source should be connected to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view premium subscription cable TV service authorized by the CableCARD™ access card. The CableCARD access card is provided by your local cable company. ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.

3. Digital Audio Output

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio from digital channels, IEEE 1394 devices and HDMI™ (not DVI) signals to a digital Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V receiver’s coaxial digital audio input. This output will automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel or device. Use Monitor Ouput Audio 2 to send analog signals 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. You can enable the digital output to include MPEG-1 digital audio if your A/V receiver

is capable of decoding it. See Edit NetCommand for details.

4. CableCARD™ Slot

The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. CableCARD

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.
