12 1. Television Overview
5. INPUT 1, 2 (Audio and Video)
INPUT 1 and 2 can be used to connect a VCR, Super
VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite
receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. Each TV INPUT
group consists of jacks for composite video, S-Video,
and analog stereo audio. Note that when you connect
to the S-video jack, the composite video jack is auto-
matically disabled. INPUT 3 is a third set of composite
video and stereo audio jacks located on the side of the
TV for convenience.
6. HDMI™ Inputs
The HDMI 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) sup-
ports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital
video formats and PCM digital stereo audio format.
Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI com-
pliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD
player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p video formats.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables
to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed cat-
egory 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color
and
x.v.Color.
These inputs can also accept digital DVI video signals.
To connect a DVI source, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter
or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog
audio cables to
PC/DVI AUDIO INPUT on the back of the
TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your PC or
DVI device.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals. See chapter 2, “TV
Setup” and Appendix A for additional information on PC
compatibility.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
These inputs are certified for proper interop-
erability with other products certified by Simplay™.

HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and
Category 2 versions.
•
Category 2 Cables. Newer, HDMI 1.3-com-
pliant DVD players, video games, and set-top
boxes require Category 2 cables. Use cat-
egory 2 cables for these high-speed 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. Unmarked cables are
category 1 cables and are suitable for standard
HDTV signals.
7. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices 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.
8. IR Emitter NetCommand ®
(LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 models only)
IR Emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV’s
NetCommand system to control external IR remote
controlled analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs,
DVDs, satellite receivers and audio receivers.
