Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables,
also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI
1.3 source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring
you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.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
analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables
to the
DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO
jacks (item 10) on the TV to
receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D
and HDMI computer video signals. For additional infor-
mation on PC compatibility, see “Using the TV with a
Personal Computer,” page 16, and Appendix A, “Specifi-
cations,” page 62.
