The  FO RMAT Key and Picture Shape
Important
Black bars at the edges of 
the screen are common in HD 
pictures.  Black bars are not a 
defect of the TV.
 Broadcasters add black bars 
to fill the 16:9 screen area while 
preserving the original aspect 
ratio of older material not created 
for modern HD TVs.
 Your cable box, satellite receiver, 
or other device may also have 
controls for altering the shape 
of the broadcast picture.  If your 
device offers output in  native 
format, try using it with the TV 
picture formats.
Sample Uses of the FORMAT Key
You can use the 
FORMAT key to display the image as originally intended or 
to reduce or eliminate black areas at the edges.
Press
High-definition signal with 
squarish 4:3 image embedded.  
The image is narrower than the 
16:9 screen; unused areas at 
the sides are filled with black.Wide Expand mode stretches 
the picture sideways to fill the 
screen.
Press
Standard 2.35:1 anamorphic 
DVD image; unused areas at 
the top and bottom are filled 
with black (letterbox effect).Zoom mode.  The picture fills 
the screen.  All four edges are 
cropped in this mode.
Press the FORMAT key 
t
o cycle through picture 
shapes for the current 
image.  The TV will 
remember the format you 
last used on each input.
For more on TV formats and signal 
types, see the supplemental Owner’s 
Guide at www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

Auto Input Sensing
The TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature automatically rec-
ognizes many connections and prompts you to identify 
the type of device connected.  See pages  8  and   27  for 
more on Auto Input Sensing.
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 
source device to the TV.
Surround Sound
The TV accepts PCM stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1 over 
the 
ANT and HDMI inputs and passes the audio out on 
the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
IMPORTANT
Accessories such as cables, adapters, splitters, 
or combiners required for TV connections

DMI 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 Stan-
dard HDMI cables for clock frequencies 
up to 74.25 MHz or data rates of up to 2.23 
gigabits per second.

HD  
MI Device
Examples:  HDTV Cable Box, Satellite Receiver, 
or  DVD/Blu-ray Player
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 Co  
mponent Video Device
Examples:  HDTV  Cable Box, Sa tellite 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.

A/  
V Receiver with Coaxial or Analog Output
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or 
analog stereo audio cables.  To send audio from TV 
channels received on the 
ANT input or devices con-
nected directly to the TV, you must use one of the con-
nections shown below.
The TV makes all incoming audio available in both 
digital and analog formats:
 Analog incoming audio is available as output in 
digital stereo format on the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT 
jack and as analog stereo on the 
AVR AUDIO 
OUTPUT
 jacks.
 Digital incoming audio is available as analog output 
on the
 AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jacks and as digital 
audio on the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
See  page 9  for tips on using an external sound system.

Note:
 On rare occasions, the audio portion of an 
HDMI signal may be copy-restricted and 
cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal.  
To hear these copy-protected signals through 
the A /V receiver, use the connection for an 
analog A /V receiver.
 Check the A /V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for 
information concerning use of the A /V receiv-
er’s digital input.
A/  
V  Receiver with HDMI Output
Required:  HDMI cable
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.
