tion on the sides by expanding the picture to crop off
portions of the top and bottom. Use to adjust the
vertical position of the picture.
Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their origi-
nal shape. Adds black side bars to fill the screen.
Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping the
image on both sides. Removes or reduces black
side bars added to narrow images converted to

1. HDMI®Inputs (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and
high-definition digital video formats, bitstream Dolby
Digital 5.1, and PCM digital stereo audio. These inputs
are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection)
compliant.
Mitsubishi recommends you use high-speed HDMI
cables to connect newer source devices incorporating
HDMI technology. High-speed cables bring you the full
benefits of Deep 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 an
analog audio cable. Connect the audio cable to the DVI/
PC AUDIO INPUT jack 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.
HDMI Cable Categories
HDMI cables are available as Standard and High-Speed
types.
• High-Speed HDMI Cables. Blu-ray players, newer
DVD players, video games, 3D content, and set-top
boxes require High-Speed HDMI cables, suitable
for clock frequencies up to 340 MHz or data rates
of up to 10.2 gigabits per second. Use high-speed
cables for 1080p HD signals carrying extended color
encodings (i.e., 30 or more bits, also called Deep
Color). High-Speed HDMI cables are also suitable 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 fre-
quencies up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23
gigabits per second.
