5. DVI Analog Audio
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the
same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when
using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of
HDMI, such as DVI output from a DVD player.
6. PC Input (models WD-62927, WD-73927 only)
(VGA/W-VGA/SVGA/W-SVGA/XGA/W-XGA/1280 x
720, 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz)
This input can be used to connect a personal computer.
Please see Appendix A for signal compatibility. For audio,
use DVI Analog Audio 2 input.
7. AUDIO OUTPUT, RECORD OUTPUT
AUDIO OUTPUT sends analog audio of the program
currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound
receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital
channels, FireWire® (DTVLink/IEEE 1394) devices and
HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If
you do not have a digital A/V receiver, this should be the
only audio connection between the TV and your analog A/V
receiver or stereo system.
RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a VCR
for recording purposes. The program on this output can
be either the one you are currently watching or a different
one. Signals from digital channels and FireWire (IEEE 1394)
devices are converted to analog signals. There is no video
signal when copy restrictions are in effect. Component,
HDMI, and PC inputs are not available for recording.
8. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant
devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video
formats.
These inputs can also be used as a DVI connection with
separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI
adaptor or cable is necessary to make this connection and
may be available from your local electronics retailer. When
using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog
audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left and right
stereo audio from your DVI device.
This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
HDMI 2
HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output
from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate
the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during
initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option in the
Device Setup screen. To do this at any time afterwards,
use the NetCommand Add function.
To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output, you
must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI Analog
Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.
9. MonitorLink/RS-232C Control
When used as a MonitorLink port with a Mitsubishi
receiver/controller, provides enhanced functions such as
automatic power on/off and input-port selection.
When used as an RS-232C connection, provides a port
for an external controller that uses RS-232C signals for
communication. For RS-232C-compatible signal protocols,
please visit www.mitsubishi-tv.com.
10. DTVLink™/IEEE 1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394
digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks are
provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree
of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand-controlled
system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394
connection requirements is in Chapter 2, “Connecting.”
11. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service
provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card
should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP .
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access
card customized to your account. This card allows the
TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium
digital channels included in your cable TV subscription
without the use of a cable box. See page 84 for additional
CableCARD information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD
access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided
and authorized by your local cable company to view
scrambled channels.
12. Digital Audio Output
This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV
to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver,
in most cases this should be the only audio connection
between the TV and your A/V receiver. If you have MP3
audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV’s
analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
