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 new Plush 1080p® 5G digital video processing 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. It does this by doubling the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video between the traditional frames to create smoother moving images. Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion also smooths film judder (image vibration) that may be present in filmbased 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 bitstream and 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 a device and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can easily find and select connected devices by name.

Home-Theater Control

HDMI Control

Available for all models. HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some functions of these devices.

NetCommand with IR Learning

153 Series. Your Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. NetCommand can “learn” remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand-controlled hometheater system.

Sound Projector

Sound Projector technology uses the TV’s bank of speakers to create a simulated surround sound effect by reflecting sound off the room walls. Sound Projector lets you customize the effect to match your room dimensions and layout.

2. TV Connections

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 compliant 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 headphones 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, connected 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

2. TV Connections

A/V Receiver

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

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

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

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

AVR AUDIO

TV

Stereo analog cables (for an analog A/V receiver)

or

Digital coaxial cable (for a digita A/V receiver)

COAXIAL

INPUT

A/V receiver back panel

Note:

On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copy-restricted and cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copyprotected 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 over a single HDMI cable going to the TV. The HDMI cable can transmit both audio and video to the TV.

You can use an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s audio output. The optional audio connection allows you to hear, through the A/V receiver, devices connected to the TV only, e.g., an antenna on the ANT input.

You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (in TV mode) to operate connected CEC-enabled HDMI

devices. Experiment with your equipment to determine which functions are available to the TV’s remote control. See Appendix C, page 74.

153 Series: This setup allows you to use NetCom- mand-controlled audio and video switching over the HDMI cable. See “Case 3: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 62.

TV Signals and Display Formats

This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images available from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older-style, squarish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display formats described on this page. Press the MORE key and then the

0 key (FORMAT) to cycle through available display formats. The TV remembers the format you last used for each input.

DVD Image Definitions

Image information may be stated on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both formats described below.

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV). Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen images properly on 16:9 TV sets using the TV’s Standard format mode (recommended).

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1.33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen). Indicates DVDs recorded for viewing on squarish TV screens. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1.33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

Signal Definitions

480i: Older type of interlaced signals from the ANT input, composite VIDEO, component Y Pb Pr, or HDMI jacks.

480p: Progressive-scan DVD signals on component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks.

720p and 1080i: High-definition signals received through component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

1080p: High-definition signals from a PC or Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs only.

SD 4:3: Standard-definition squarish-screen-format signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen-format signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

HD 16:9: High-definition 16:9 widescreen signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

TV Display Format Definitions

Standard: The full-screen format used by HDTV signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and bottom black bars. Squarish (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the sides, top, and bottom to eliminate black bars.

480i/480p and SD 4:3 signals: Eliminates top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

720p, 1080i, SD 16:9, and HD signals: Eliminates bars added to squarish 4:3 images.

Stretch: Stretches squarish 4:3 images across the screen to display the entire image with less distortion than Standard.

Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape. Adds black side bars to fill the screen.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping the image on both sides. Removes or reduces black side bars added to narrow images converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast.

Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9) signals, but not all programming was created for the widescreen format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.

Full Native: Displays all pixels in the original image
