Mitsubishi WS-55517 Manual De Usuario

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 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.

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.

A 6-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 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.

•  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.

•  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.  This TV has a communication speed of 
S400.  Devices with slow communication speed 
can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster 
devices.  When using NetCommand to set up 
a digital recording between a faster and slower 
device, the slower device should be the source.

•  Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 

feet between each device.

•  This TV is an IEEE 1394a device.  It can be used 

with a 1394b system when an IEEE 1394a to 

1394b convertor is used.  1394b systems enable 

longer distance and multi-room applications
