lutions can be displayed on the TV.
Image Resolution
Your Mitsubishi TV can display resolutions 
from standard VGA (640 x 480) through 
1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 
60 Hz.  See Appendix  A , “ Specifications ” 
( page 68 ) for more on compatible screen 
resolutions.
In most cases, the computer will select 
the best resolution match to display on 
the TV.  You can override this setting if you 
wish.  Refer to your computer operating 
system’s instructions for information on 
changing the screen resolution.
You may need to restart the computer for 
changes to take effect.

TV Connections
Auto Input Sensing
The TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature automatically rec-
ognizes most connections and prompts you to identify 
the type of device connected.  See  page 16  for more on 
Auto Input Sensing.
Connection Types
Review the connection types available on your input 
devices and use connections that will give the best 
video quality.  For example, choose HDMI over compo-
nent video, and choose component video over S-video 
or composite video.
Picture Quality
Usually, to receive the best picture quality, connect the 
source device video directly to the TV input without 
routing it through other devices.Surround Sound
For best surround sound audio quality, route audio-
signal cables or HDMI cables from the source device 
directly to your A /V receiver or sound system.
IMPORTANT
Accessory items such as cables, adapters, 
splitters, or combiners required for TV 
connections are not supplied with the TV.  
These items are available at many electronics 
stores.
Before You Begin
  Cable Management
One cable tie with a locking pin is supplied with the acces-
sories.  Use the tie to keep cables properly organized and 
connected.

Co mponent Video Device ( H DTV Cable Box or Satellite 
Receiver, DVD Player, or Other Device)
If your cable box or satellite receiver has an HDMI 
output, use the connections for HDMI devices 
described on  this page .
Required:  RCA component video cables,  left/right 
analog stereo audio cables.
Connect RCA-type cables from the 
1. Y Pb Pr outputs 
on the device to the 
Y Pb Pr inputs on the TV main 
panel, matching the colored green, blue, and red 
connections.
Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables 
2. 
from the device to AUDIO L and R on the TV main 
panel.
Cable Box or Satellite Receiver Only:
3.   Connect 
the cable from the outside cable or satellite service 
to 
CABLE IN or SATELLITE IN on the cable box or 
satellite receiver.  See your device’s owner’s guide 
for instructions and cable compatibility.
Note: 
To hear digital surround sound, connect the digital 
audio output from the device directly to your digital 
A/V receiver.
Figure 2.  Connecting a device with 
component video outputs Required:  HDMI-to-HDMI cable.
Connect an HDMI cable from the TV main panel to the 
HDMI device output.  HDMI devices provide video and 
audio through the single cable.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 (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.  See  “HDMI Cable Catego-
ries,” page 13 , for more on HDMI cable types.

 DVI Video Device ( Cable Box,   
Satellite 
Receiver,  DVD Player, or Other Device)
Connect DVI devices (digital only) to the TV’s HDMI 
input jacks.
Analog stereo audio cables and a DVI-to-HDMI cable or 
DVI/HDMI adapter and HDMI cable are required.
Connect the DVI-to-HDMI cable (recommended) or 
1. 
HDMI cable with DVI/HDMI adapter from the DVI 
device’s back panel to the TV’s HDMI jack.
Note:  If you are using a DVI/HDMI adapter, it is impor-
tant to connect the adapter to the DVI device for 
best performance.
Connect a set of audio cables from 
2. AUDIO OUT 
on the DVI device back panel to the 
DVI/PC INPUT 
AUDIO
 on the TV main panel.  Connect the red 
cable to the 
R jack and the white cable to the L 
jack.
Note:  The HDMI connection supports copy protection 
(HDCP).
Some devices require connection to an analog input 
first in order to view on-screen menus and to select DVI 
as the ouput.  Please review your equipment instruc-
tions for DVI connectivity and compatibility.

Mitsubishi strongly recommends you avoid using 
antennas with flat twin leads.  Flat twin lead 
antenna wires are subject to interference which 
may adversely affect the performance of the TV.  
We recommend using coaxial antenna cable.

connections used in step 5, it is possible to view 
live cable programs through the VCR Device.  For 
best picture quality always view live cable programs 
directly from the TV input connected to the cable 
box device.
  Older Cable Box
Required:  One coaxial cable.
Note:  This connection is not recommended.  The 
other connections described in this chapter 
provide better quality audio and video to the TV 
and allow NetCommand to work with the cable 
box.
Connect the incoming cable to 
1. IN on cable box. 
Connect one coaxial cable from 
2. OUT on the cable 
box to 
ANT 1 on the TV main panel.

A udio-Only Device
If you wish to connect an audio-only device to the TV, such 
as an audio CD player or an MP3 player, follow these instruc-
tions.
Insert an unused RCA-style connector into the 1. 
Y/ V I D E O jack.  The presence of this connector acti-
vates the TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature.
When the 
2. Auto Input Sensing screen displays, 
name the new input CD/Audio or MP3 Player.
Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from 3. 
AUDIO OUT on the device to AUDIO L and R on the TV.
Keep the connector in the 4. Y/ V I D E O jack while using 
the audio-only device.

							28 3. TV Connections
  A/ V Receiver (Sound System) Using the 
TV’s Audio Output
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog 
stereo audio cables.  To send audio from TV channels 
received on
 ANT 1, ANT 2, or devices connected directly to 
the TV, you must use one of the connections shown below
.
The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog formats:
Analog audio coming into the TV is output in digital  
stereo format on the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
Digital incoming audio is output on the analog  
AVR 
AUDIO OUTPUT L 
and R jacks.
The TV’s digital audio output sends Dolby Digital signals  
only when you are viewing TV channels received on 
ANT 
1
 or ANT 2.  Audio from all other devices connected 
directly to the TV will be output as PCM stereo.  To send 
Dolby Digital or other digital surround from these devices 
to the AV Receiver, connect the digital audio output of 
the device directly to the A /V receiver.
Usually, only one of the following audio connections is required.
To connect an analog A / V receiver 
Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from 
AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R on the TV main panel to 
the 
TV AUDIO INPUT on the A /V receiver.
To connect a digital A / V receiver with   
Dolby 
Digital  surround sound and PCM audio support:
Connect one end of the digital audio cable to DIGITAL 
AUDIO OUTPUT
 on the TV main panel.  Connect the 
other end to the 
COA XIAL DIGITAL INPUT on the back of 
the A /V receiver.

Note:
On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copy-restricted  
and cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal.  To 
A/ V  Receiver with HDMI Output
Required:  One HDMI-to-HDMI cable
This option allows you to view content from devices con-
nected to an A /V receiver.  The A /V receiver can send audio 
and video to the TV over a single HDMI cable.  You can use 
an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an 
audio connection from the TV’s audio output.
You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (with slide 
switch set to 
TV) to operate connected CEC-enabled HDMI 
devices.  Experiment with your equipment to determine 
which functions are available to the TV’s remote control.  See 
Appendix  D ,  “NetCommand HDMI Control of CEC Devices” 
on page 78 .
This setup allows you to use NetCommand-controlled 
audio and video switching over the HDMI cable.  See   “A / V  
Receiver Control:  Automatic Audio and Video Switching via 
HDMI” on page 64 
.
