Notice Concerning Format Compatibility
In order to display 3D images. Mitsubishi 3D Ready DLP
Home Cinema TVs require the use of a 3D source device
coupled with the Mitsubishi 3D adapter or other source
devices that support checkerboard display formats for
display of 3D games, 3D broadcasts from terrestrial/cable/
satellite and 3D Blu-Ray disc content. In all cases an emitter
and matching 3D active shutter glasses or DLP Link active
shutter glasses are required in order to view 3D content.
To display 3D gaming or 3D cinema content, your
Mitsubishi TV requires:
A compatible 3D source device outputting a 3D•
signal in checkerboard format, 1080p, 60-Hz; lower
resolutions may be supported but will not fill the
screen.
Active-shutter 3D glasses, DLP link type or IR•
emitter type with matching emitter.
Initial Setup
If your 3D glasses came with an emitter, connect 1.
the emitter to the 3D GLASSES EMITTER jack. Place
the box in front of the TV where there is a clear path
to the glasses.
Notes:
• If you require a Mitsubishi 3D adapter, refer
to the connection instructions provided with
the adapter. Please check our website,
www.mitsubishi-tv.com for updates to 3D
information and safety.
• If your glasses are marked DLP Link, skip
this step; no emitter is required with DLP
Link technology.

3D Safety Requirements
3D Glasses are NOT designed as sunglasses or•
safety glasses and do not provide protection. 3D
glasses should be worn only when viewing 3D
material.
Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations•
that require unimpaired visual perception.
Chi• ldren under the age of 5 should not view 3D
programming.
Under normal conditions, 3D viewing is safe for your
movies or games. Some people may experience dis-
comfort, however. To minimize the potential for experi-
encing visual problems or any adverse symptoms:
Read and follow any and all safety warnings that•
accompany your 3D glasses or 3D source devices.
Maintain a distance of no less than 2 to 2.5 times•
the screen height measurement away from the
display. Viewing from too short a distance can
strain your eyes.
Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every•
hour of 3D viewing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, dis-
continue 3D viewing until the symptoms go away:
nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,•
headache, or eyestrain,•
blurry vision,•
d• ouble vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity
(for example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms
have completely gone away. If symptoms persist,
discontinue use and do not resume 3D viewing without
discussing your symptoms with a physician.
Do not use the glasses where loss of balance or limit-
ing your field of vision may be dangerous to you.
Do not use near staircases, ledges or balconies. You
may risk falling during or after use.
Epilepsy
WARNING! IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR
FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF EPILEPSY, CONSULT
A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING 3D VIDEO OR GAME
PRODUCTS.
A small percentage of the population may experience
epileptic seizures when viewing certain types of TV
images or video games that contain flashing patterns of
light.
The following people should consult a physician before
viewing 3D Games or Video:
Any• one with a history of epilepsy, or who has a
family member with a history of epilepsy
Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic sei-•
zures or sensory disturbances triggered by flashing
light effects.
WARNING! SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE
SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY
OF EPILEPSY. DISCONTINUE 3D VIEWING IF YOU
EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMP-
TOMS:
Invol• untary movements, eye or muscle twitching
Muscle cramps•
Nausea, dizziness, or queasiness•
Convulsions•
Diso• rientation, confusion, or loss of awareness of
your surroundings
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for
example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have
completely gone away.
Do not resume 3D viewing without discussing the
symptoms with your physician.

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. Right and Left Analog Audio Inputs
Use with INPUT 1/2 composite or component video
inputs.
3. Y/ VIDEO (Composite Video)
Connect devices with composite video output to these
inputs. Use the adjacent AUDIO R and L inputs if you
wish to send audio to the TV.
4. Y Pb Pr (Component Video)
Connect devices with component video outputs to this
jack. Use the adjacent AUDIO R and L jacks if you wish
to send audio to the TV.
5. DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT
When connecting a DVI device to one of the TV’s HDMI
inputs, use this stereo mini-jack for analog audio.
6. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio
to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Incoming
analog audio is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio.
If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this is the
only audio connection needed between the TV and your
A/V receiver. Dolby Digital audio is available only from
digital channels received on the antenna input.
7. 3D GLASSES EMITTER
Use this jack for the special IR emitter supplied with 3D
glasses. The emitter will send a signal that synchronizes
your 3D glasses with the screen display. See page 13
8. HDMI™ Inputs (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and
high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital
stereo audio.
Mitsubishi recommends you use high-speed HDMI
cables when connecting newer HDMI source devices.
High-speed cables bring you the full benefits of Deep
Color.

16 2. TV Connections
For assistance call 1(800) 332-2119
The 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
an analog audio cable. Connect the analog audio cables
to the
DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT jacks on the TV to receive
audio from your DVI device.
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.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals.
These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.

Connection Types and Audio/Video Quality
Connection Types
Use the connection types available on your input
devices that will give the best video quality. For
example, choose HDMI over component video; choose
component video over composite video.
Picture Quality
For best picture quality, route signals directly from the
input device to the TV whenever possible.
Surround Sound
For best surround sound audio quality, route audio-
carrying cables from the source device directly to your
A/V receiver or sound system.
Note
Accessory items such as cables, adapters, split-
ters, or combiners required for TV connections are
not supplied with the TV. These items are available
at most electronics stores.
HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as standard and high-
speed types.
High-Speed HDMI Cables• . Newer DVD
players, video games, and set-top boxes require
high-speed cables, suitable for clock frequen-
cies up to 340 MHz or data rates of up to 10.2
gigabits per second. Use high-speed cables for
high-speed 1080p HD signals carrying extended
color encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called
Deep Color). High-speed cables are also suit-
able for standard HDTV signals.
Standard HDMI Cables• . Standard HDMI
cables may be unmarked. They are suitable for
standard HDTV 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals
with 8-bit color depth. Use standard HDMI
cables for clock frequencies up to 74.25 MHz or
data rates of up to 2.23 gigabits per second.
