7. HDMI™ Inputs

The HDMI 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) sup- ports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.

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.

Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 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.

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

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D and HDMI computer video signals. See chapter 2, “TV Setup” and Appendix A for additional information on PC compatibility.

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.

These inputs are certified for proper interoperability with other products certified by Simplay™.

HDMI Cable Categories

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

•Category 2 Cables. Newer, HDMI 1.3-com- pliant DVD players, video games, and set-top boxes require Category 2 cables. Use category 2 cables for these high-speed HD signals car- rying 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. Unmarked cables are category 1 cables and are suitable for standard HDTV signals.

8.AVR AUDIO OUTPUT

Use AVR AUDIO OUTPUT to send analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V sur- round sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio connection needed between it and the TV.

9. DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT

Use the DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT when connecting a DVI device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs using a DVI-to- HDMI cable. These jacks allow you to send left and right analog audio from your computer or other DVI device to the TV.

Y Pb Pr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

Use these jacks to connect devices with component video outputs, such as DVD players, external HDTV receivers, or compatible video game systems. A third set of component jacks is located on the front of the TV and shares the left/right audio jacks and VIDEO/Y jack with the INPUT 3 composite input. See Appendix A specifications for signal compatibility.

11. RECORD OUTPUT

Use these composite video and left/right audio jacks to send analog video and audio signals to an external recording device such as a VCR. To make recordings from this output, the TV must be in normal full- screen mode rather than in Split Screen mode.

•You can watch another device while recording, but not another channel.

•From this output you can record audio and video signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, INPUT 1-3, and IEEE 1394 devices.

•Digital signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, and IEEE

1394 devices are converted to analog video and audio signals.

•Some signals cannot be recorded because of copy-protection flags in the content.

12.3D GLASSES EMITTER

The 3D GLASSES EMITTER jack is in place for future gaming devices equipped with FX gaming 3D and dual- view features. Use this jack to connect a special IR emitter (supplied with the 3D glasses) that will synchro- nize your 3D glasses with the screen display.
