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

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital stereo audio.

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, also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI

1.3source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.Color.

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 (item 10) 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. For additional infor- mation on PC compatibility, see “Using the TV with a Personal Computer,” page 17, and Appendix A, “Specifi- cations,” page 64.

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

These inputs are certified for proper interop- erability with other products certified by Simplay™.

HDMI Cable Categories

HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and Cat- egory 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 frequen- cies 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.

3.Enter the number sequence 2, 4, 7, 0 to display the Installer menu.

4.Highlight the WIRED IR selection and press ENTER to change the setting from ON to OFF.

Note: When the WIRED IR option is set to ON (control by an external device), the Low Power setting for Energy Mode is unavailable.

9. AUDIO L and R (INPUT 1, INPUT 3)

These are analog stereo inputs shared by more than one video input.

•INPUT 1 stereo audio jacks are for use with INPUT 1 composite video (single yellow cable) or component video (Y Pb Pr cables).

•INPUT 3 stereo audio jacks are for use with INPUT 3 composite video or S-Video.

10.DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO

Use the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jack 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.

11. 3D GLASSES EMITTER

Use this jack to connect the special IR emitter supplied with 3D glasses. The emitter will send a signal that synchronizes your 3D glasses with the screen display.
