Mitsubishi lt-3280 Owner's Manual

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

The 4-pin connector sends digital audio signals, digital 

video signals and digital control 

signals back and forth between 
devices.  Your media center has two 

(2) 4-pin type connection terminals 
available on the rear 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 
media center does not have 6 pin 

connectors.

The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is to 

provide the needed 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.

A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 
4-pin terminal, and vice versa.  To connect a 6-pin device 

to a 4-pin device, you will need 
to obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor 
or adaptor cable.  These cables 
are available from electronic and 
computer stores.

When connecting a 6-pin device 
(such as a camcorder) to the media 
center, (if it 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.

The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices, 

unlike previous audio and video connections where you 
had to individually connect each device directly to the 
media center.  For example, you can connect a D-VHS 
to a 1394 DVD Player and then to the media center.  The 
resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to add more 
devices to the chain.  You will be able to see each video 
device on the media center’s Device Selection Menu 
and send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other 
compatible devices.

The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect 

your devices using the media center as a hub within the 
audio/video network.  Each device can send information, 
which may include audio and video, to any other device 
in the network.

There are two different connection styles that can be 
used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices.  Use the style 
that fits your network of audio/video products.
