4. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. CableCARD is a
nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized
to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included
in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. It also allows your cable provider to automatically
update and change your subscription. See pages 15, 25, and 44 for additional CableCARD information and
activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD, you will need to use an external cable box.
5. HDMI™ or DVI Devices
The HDMI™ interface supports uncompressed standard, enhanced and high definition digital video formats. This
interface also supports existing digital multi-channel audio formats. The HDMI input supports both video and
audio using one single cable. Use this input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high definition
receiver or DVD player. This input supports the 480i, 480p and 1080i video formats. It is not intended for use with
personal computers or devices outputting video signals with computer resolutions. Supported audio signal is PCM
linear stereo. Multi-channel surround sound is not supported.
This input can also be used as a DVI connection with separate analog audio inputs (see DVI Analog Audio, below).
An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor will be necessary to make this connection and can be purchased from your
local electronics retailer. When using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog audio inputs on your TV
allow you to receive left and right audio from your DVI device. This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
6. DVI Analog Audio
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when
using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI.
7. Component Inputs 1-2 YPbPr
These inputs can be used for the connection of devices with component video outputs, such as a DVD player,
external HDTV receiver or compatible video game system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.

8. IR Output-NetCommand

Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the TV's
NetCommand system to control external analog devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite and audio
receivers.
9. Monitor Output
The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video signals from the antennas or Inputs 1-3 to an A/V Receiver or
other analog A/V equipment such as a VCR. Digital channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be down converted to
analog signals compatible with traditional analog VCRs. There will be no video signals from digital channels or IEEE
1394 signals that have copy restrictions. There will be no video signals from Monitor Outputs when viewing the
Component 1 & 2 inputs or the HDMI input
Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should be
connected to your A/V Receiver for home theater surround sound.
10. Inputs 1-2
These inputs can be used for the connection of a VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite
receiver or other A/V device to the TV. Please note that if you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO terminal
is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is available when there is no S-Video connection.

11. SERVICE PORT

This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers only.
