EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or have the same character-
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
To avoid the risk of injury to the eyes and face, do not
look directly into the air vents while the television is
operating.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not use flammable solvents
(such as benzene or paint solvents) or flammable aero-
sols (such as polishes, cleaners, or insecticides) near
the television while it is operating or cooling.

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

Required: HDMI cable.
Connect an HDMI cable from the TV to the device’s
HDMI output. HDMI-connectable devices provide
video and audio through a single cable.
Mitsubishi recommends using high-speed HDMI cables
to connect newer devices incorporating HDMI technol-
ogy. See “HDMI Cable Categories” on the opposite page
for more on HDMI cable types.
Note:
• This connection carries high-definition video,
3D video, and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio signals.
• This connection supports copy protection
(HDCP).
Y Pb Pr Component Video Device
Examples: HDTV Cable Box, Satellite Receiver,
or DVD/Blu-ray Player
If your source device has an HDMI output, use the con-
nections for an HDMI device described on this page
instead of component video.
Required:
Component video cables
RCA-type analog audio cables
Note:
• This connection carries high-definition video
signals.
• To hear digital surround sound from an A/V
receiver, connect the digital audio output from the
device directly to your digital A/V receiver.

Required:
Digital coaxial audio cable
To send audio from TV channels received on the
ANT
input or from devices connected directly to the TV, you
must use this connection.
The TV makes all incoming audio available as an output
in digital format on the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack:
• Analog incoming audio is available as output in
digital stereo format.
• Digital incoming audio is available as digital audio.

This option allows you to view and hear content from
devices connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver
can send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI
cable.
You can add an optional audio connection from the
TV’s audio output. The optional audio connection
allows you to hear, through the A/V receiver, devices
connected to the TV only, e.g., an antenna on the
ANT
input.
