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 cat-
egory 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.

inputs, use these jacks to send left and right analog
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

are suitable for standard HDTV 720p, 1080i, and
1080p signals with 8-bit color depth. Use category 1

rates of up to 2.23 gigabits per second.
