Inputs and Outputs, continued

1. ANT (Antenna)

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 category 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.

Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI com- pliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video formats.

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.

3. Y Pb Pr (Component Video)

Connect devices with component video outputs to this jack. Use the adjacent AUDIO R and L jacks if you wish to send audio to the TV.

HDMI Cable Categories

HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and Category 2 types.

•Category 2 Cables (also called high-speed HDMI cables). Newer, HDMI 1.3-compliant DVD players, video games, and set-top boxes require Category 2 cables, suitable for clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates of up to 10.2 gigabits per second. 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.

4. Video (Composite Video)

Connect a VCR, DVD player, standard satellite receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. Use the adjacent AUDIO R and L inputs if you wish to send audio to the TV.

5. AVR AUDIO OUTPUT

Use AVR AUDIO OUTPUT to send analog audio of the current program to an analog A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV for output on this jack. This is the only audio connection needed to the TV if using an analog A/V receiver or stereo system.

Headphones. These jacks can also be used for head- phones that accept standard line level audio signals. An adapter may be needed.

6. DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT

This input sends digital surround sound to the TV’s speaker array from a device, such as a DVD player, con- nected to INPUT 2.

7. SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

Connect a powered subwoofer to complement Sound Projector speaker effects.

8. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Incoming analog audio is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this is the only audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V receiver.

9. DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT

When connecting a DVI device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs, use these jacks to send left and right analog audio to the TV.

10.IR–NetCommand Output/External Controller Input

153 Series. Use an IR emitter cable with this jack to send control signals to external IR remote-controlled devices. Alternatively, your professional installer can use this jack as the input for an external controller.

Connect to this jack and when the New Device Found screen appears, select operation of the jack as either an input (for an external controller) or as an output (for NetCommand IR control). See page 53.

11. USB

The TV can read JPEG photo files and mp3 or wma music files from a USB device connected to the USB port.
