10 1. Television Overview
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 17, and Appendix A, “Specifi-
cations,” page 64.
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 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.
