Connecting Ieee 1394 Devices

4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style

When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices

There are two different types of connectors used for IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin style.

• Do not loop the last device in the chain back to

the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV

may not be able to work with the other devices.

4 pin connector

6 pin connector

The 4-pin connector sends digital audio signals, digital video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices. Your TV has three 4-pin type connection jacks available. There are two inputs on the back panel and an additional input on the front panel.

The 6-pin connector is capable of sending the same digital audio, video and control signals as the 4-pin connector, but the 6-pin connector is also able to send low voltage electrical power. This TV does not have 6 pin connectors.

• Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-

position) power switch at the end of the chain or

leave the power switch in the On position. When

turned Off, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to

pass through the device to other devices.

• Place devices with the slowest communication

speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the

communication speed will be marked near the

IEEE 1394 connector with an “S” number. The

higher the number, the faster the communication

speed. Devices with slow communication speed

can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster

devices.

• Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15

feet between each device.

The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to provide operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin connector can send this electrical power to another device, or receive electrical power from another device, or simply use a

6-pin connector without using the two additional pins.

A6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4-pin jack, and vice versa. Instead, you will need to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor or adaptor cable. These cables are available from

6 pin to 4 pin adaptor electronic and computer stores.

If you connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a camcorder) that is designed to receive electrical power from another 6-pin device, you will need to connect the camcorder directly to the household AC, or use the camcorder’s battery for power. If this is not possible, then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power.

• This TV is an IEEE 1394a Device. IEEE 1394b

is currently under development. This system

will provide for longer distances and multi-

room applications. Included in the IEEE

1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b

converters to maintain compatibility with this TV

and other IEEE 1394a devices.

WS-55815, WS-65815 specifications

The Mitsubishi Electronics WS-65815 and WS-55815 are high-quality rear-projection televisions that gained popularity in the early 2000s for their impressive display performance and advanced features.
