Connect your main antenna or direct cable service (no cable box) to ANT. The ANT input can receive digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.

2.HDMI™ Inputs (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats, PCM digital stereo audio, and digital 5.1 surround sound. These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables, also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed cat- egory 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.Color.

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D and HDMI computer video signals.

These HDMI inputs can also accept digital DVI video signals. To connect a device’s DVI output to the TV’s HDMI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jacks on the TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

Use category 2 cables for high-speed 1080p HD signals carrying extended color encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep Color). Category 2 cables are also suitable for standard HDTV signals.

•Category 1 Cables (also called standard HDMI cables). Category 1 cables may be unmarked. They are suitable for standard HDTV 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals with 8-bit color depth. Use category 1 cables for clock frequencies up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23 gigabits per second.
