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.

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

H DMI 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.

6. 3D GL ASSES EMITTER

Use this jack for the special synchronization emitter sup­plied with some 3D glasses. The emitter sends out an
infrared signal that synchronizes your 3D glasses with the
screen display.

7. DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT

Connect a DVI device to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs
and use this jack to send analog audio to the TV.

10. Y (Composite Video)

Analog standard-definition video inputs. Use the adja­cent

R

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
receiver.

12. AUDIO/SURROUND OUTPUT, L/R

840 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

840 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 .

8. L/R (INPUT 1 audio)
