This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par­ticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and
th e receive r.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con­nected.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts speci­fied by the manufacturer or have the same character­istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified
by the manufacturer,
or sold with the
apparatus. When
a cart is used, use
caution when moving
the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus
during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

To avoid the risk of injury to the eyes and face, do not
look directly into the air vents while the television is
operating.

To avoid the risk of fire, do not use flammable solvents
(such as benzene or paint solvents) or flammable aero­sols (such as polishes, cleaners, or insecticides) near
the television while it is operating or cooling.

1. HDMI® Inputs

(High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and
high-definition digital video formats, bitstream Dolby
Digital 5.1, and PCM digital stereo audio. These inputs
are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection)
compliant.

Mitsubishi recommends you use high-speed HDMI
cables to connect newer source devices incorporating

HDMI technology. High-speed cables bring you the full
benefits of Deep 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 an
analog audio cable. Connect the audio cable to the

PC AUDIO INPUT

jack on the TV to receive audio from

your DVI device.

and HDMI computer video signals.

HDMI Cable Categories

HDMI cables are available as Standard and High-Speed
types.

• High-Speed HDMI Cables. Blu-ray players, newer

DVD players, video games, 3D content, and set-top
boxes require High-Speed HDMI cables, suitable
for clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates
of up to 10.2 gigabits per second. Use high-speed
cables for 1080p HD signals carrying extended color
encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep
Color). High-Speed HDMI cables are also suitable for
standard HDTV signals.

• Standard HDMI Cables. Standard HDMI cables

may be unmarked. They are suitable for standard
HDTV 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals with 8-bit color
depth. Use Standard HDMI cables for clock fre­quencies up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23
gigabits per second.

8. L/R (INPUT 1 audio)

Analog stereo inputs for use in conjunction with adja­cent composite or component video jacks.

10. Y (Composite Video)

Analog standard-definition video inputs. Use the adja­cent R and L inputs if you wish to send audio to the TV
speakers.

11. 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, this is the only
audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V
re c e i ver.

12. AUDIO/SURROUND OUTPUT, L/R

842 Series. Provides analog audio output of the

current program. Use to:

• Send audio to an analog A/V surround sound
receiver or stereo system.

• Send a rear surround sound channel to an external
amplifier or self-powered speakers. See page 15.

• Send audio to headphones. Set Sound > Global >
Analog Audio Out to Variable.

Digital audio from digital channels and HDMI devices is
converted to analog audio by the TV for output on these
jacks.

13. CENTER INPUT

842 Series. Connect your A/V receiver’s center

channel output to this input to have the TV speak­ers complement your external sound system with
center-channel sound. Set Sound > Global > Center
Channel to On to enable this input. See “Using the TV
Speakers as a Center Channel,” page 16.

14. SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

input to complement effects from the TV’s speakers.
Set Sound > Global > Subwoofer to On to enable this
output (see “Adding a Subwoofer,” page 14).
