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.

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.

Picture Shape and Display Formats

Format Definitions

Use the FORMAT key to apply the formats described here.

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.

Effect of Mitsubishi Formats on Picture Types

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 a squarish 4:3 image across the screen to display the entire image with less distortion than the Standard format.

Stretch Plus: Similar to Stretch, but minimizes distortion on the sides by expanding the picture to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Use to adjust the vertical position of the picture.

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

EMITTER

The Basic Owner’s Guide supplied with your TV contains connection diagrams showing how to use most of these jacks.

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 DVI/ PC AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV to receive audio from your DVI device.

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.

The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D 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.

2. USB

•Use for a wireless network adapter to receive StreamTV Internet content.

•Use this port when updating the TV software using a USB memory device.

•The USB port can also serve as a standard USB 5-volt, 500-milliamp power output to power an accessory device.

3. USB-P (Power Only)

842 Series. Standard USB 5-volt, 500-milliamp power output you can use to supply power to an accessory device. See page 14.

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 receiver.

4. LAN

Use the LAN Ethernet jack for streaming Internet video to the TV.

5. ANT (Antenna)

Connect your main antenna or direct cable service (without a 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.

6. 3D GLASSES 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.

8. L/R (INPUT 1 audio)

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

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

842 Series. Connect a powered subwoofer to this 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).

9. Y Pb Pr (Component Video)

Analog video inputs able to accept high-definition video from a high-definition source device. Use the adjacent R and L inputs if you wish to send audio to the TV speakers.

compatible with VGA (analog) computer	VGA
signals.	PC MONITOR OUT

1.Connect the computer’s digital video output to one of the TV’s HDMI jacks. See the connection

diagrams on this page for the method suited to your equipment.

2.Connect the computer’s audio output using one of these options:

•For digital DVI video signals, connect the analog audio output to the TV’s DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT jack.

•For HDMI signals, no additional audio connection is required.

Note: If you are unable to hear audio from the computer, there may be an incompatibility in the computer’s hardware, software, or internal settings. Consult a trained computer technician for advice.

3.Power on the TV and computer. The TV will detect the connection and display the New Device Found screen.

4.In the New Device Found screen, press to highlight PC in the list of device types. It is important to use the name PC so that the TV processes the PC signal correctly.

5.Highlight EXIT and press ENTER to close the New Device Found screen.

Note: If your computer provides digital audio output you can connect it directly to a digital A/V receiver and bypass the TV.
