Special Features of Your TV

Your new high-definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:

1080p High-Definition LCD Display System

Your Mitsubishi LCD Flat Panel HDTV uses a full 1920 x 1080 LCD panel to create the picture you see on the screen. All images are displayed at 1080p. The TV uses Plush 1080p™ to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion

Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion makes fast-moving images appear smoother and more fluid, free from motion

blur. In this LCD Flat Panel HDTV, Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion doubles the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video between the traditional frames to smooth moving images. Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion also smooths film judder (image vibration) that may be present in film-based content such as movies.

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format

Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

Integrated HDTV Tuner

Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.

High-Definition Video Inputs

•Component Video Inputs. Also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-defini- tion signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.

•HDMI Inputs. These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI™ inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions. These inputs support HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits) and the x.v.Color extended color gamut.

Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility

in your choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing

Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing automatically recognizes when you plug in an input and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered Input Selection menu where you can easily find and select connected devices by name.

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 and 1080i 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.

in most cases this is the only audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V receiver.

A/V Receiver (Sound System) Using the TV’s Audio Output

Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog stereo audio cables. To send audio from TV channels received on ANT 1, ANT 2, or devices connected directly to the TV, you must use one of the connections shown below.

The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog formats:

•Analog audio coming into the TV is output in digital stereo format on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

•Digital incoming audio is output on the analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R jacks.

Usually, only one of the following audio connections is required.

•To connect an analog A/V receiver

Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R on the TV main panel to the TV AUDIO INPUT on the A/V receiver.

•To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby Digital surround sound and PCM audio support:

Connect one end of the digital audio cable to

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT on the back of the TV. Connect the other end to the COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT on the back of the A/V receiver.

Note:

•On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copyrestricted and cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-protected signals through the A/V receiver, use the connection for an analog A/V receiver.

•Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for information concerning use of the digital input and switching between digital sound and analog stereo sound from the TV.

A/V Receiver with HDMI Output

Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable

This option allows you to view content from devices connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver can send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI cable. You can use an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s audio output.

You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (with slide switch set to TV) to operate connected CECenabled HDMI devices. Experiment with your equipment to determine which functions are available to the TV’s remote control. See Appendix E, page 80.

This setup allows you to use NetCommand-controlled audio and video switching over the HDMI cable. See “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 63.
