1. Television Overview
TV Back Panel, continued
6. S-VIDEO (INPUT 3)
Connect an S-Video device to this input. Use the
AUDIO R and L jacks for INPUT 3 (item 9) if you wish to
send audio to the TV.
7. HDMI™ Inputs (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and
high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital
stereo audio.
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,
also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI
1.3 source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring
you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.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
analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables
to the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jacks (item 10) on the TV to
receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
The TV's HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals. For additional infor-
mation on PC compatibility, see "Using the TV with a
Personal Computer," page 16, and Appendix A, "Specifi-
cations," page 62.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
These inputs are
certified for proper interop-
erability with other products certified by Simplay
™
.
8. IR NetCommand Output/External
Controller Input
736 and 835 series models. IR emitters connected to
this jack are used by the TV's NetCommand system to
send control signals to external IR remote-controlled
devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVD players, satel-
lite receivers and audio receivers.
When NetCommand is not being used, this jack can be
switched to receive wired IR control signals from exter-
nal system controllers. To switch this jack for use as an
input, connect the external controller's IR output to this
jack, then with the TV remote:
1.
Press
MENU to display the TV menu.
2.
Enter the number sequence 2, 4, 7, 0 to display
the Installer menu.
HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as Category 1 and Cat-
egory 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 frequen-
cies 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
•
(also called standard HDMI
cables). Category 1 cables may be unmarked.
They are suitable for standard HDTV 720p,
1080i, and 1080p signals with 8-bit color depth.
Use category 1 cables for clock frequencies up
to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23 gigabits
per second.
3.
Highlight the
WIRED IR selection and press
ENTER to change the setting from OFF to ON.
If the IR device is disconnected at any time when the
TV is turned on, the setting returns to the NetCommand
mode (OFF).
Note: When the WIRED IR option is set to ON (control
by an external device), the Low Power setting
for Energy Mode is unavailable.
9. AUDIO L and R (INPUT 1, INPUT 3)
These are analog stereo inputs shared by more than
one video input.
•
INPUT 1
stereo audio jacks are for use with INPUT 1
composite video (single yellow cable) or component
video (Y Pb Pr cables).
INPUT 3
stereo audio jacks are for use with INPUT 3
•
composite video or S-Video.
10. DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO
Use the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jack when connecting
a DVI device to one of the TV's HDMI inputs using a
DVI-to-HDMI cable. These jacks allow you to send left
and right analog audio from your computer or other DVI
device to the TV.
11. 3D GLASSES EMITTER
Use this jack to connect the special IR emitter supplied
with 3D glasses. The emitter will send a signal that
synchronizes your 3D glasses with the screen display.
