Note:
• On rare occasions, 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 Owners Guide for
information concerning use of the digital input
and switching between digital sound and
analog stereo sound from the TV.
A/V Receiver with HDMI Output
Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable
This option allows you to view 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 use an HDMI connection as described
here in addition to an audio connection from the TVs
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.
• You may be able to use the TV’s remote control
(in
TV
mode) to operate connected CEC-enabled
HDMI devices. Experiment with your equipment to
determine which functions are available to the TVs
remote control. See Appendix C, page 85.
• 838 Series: This setup allows you to use NetCom-
mand-controlled audio and video switching over the
HDMI cable. See “Automatic Audio/Video Switch-
ing Over an HDMI Connection” on page 72.
To use NetCommand to supplement HDMI
control of a CEC-enabled A/V receiver, note the
recommendations under “More About Using an
HDMI Connection,” page 72.

Format Definitions
Note: See page 16 for use of the
FORMAT
key to apply
the formats described here.
Standard: The full-screen format used by HDTV
signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs
with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs
with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but
with top and bottom black bars. Squarish (4:3) images
are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all
signals.
Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by
cropping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the
letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD
images.
Zoom: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by crop-
ping the sides, top, and bottom to eliminate black bars.
• 480i/480p and SD 4:3 signals: Eliminates top and
bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1
aspect ratio.
• 720p, 1080i, SD 16:9, and HD signals: Eliminates
bars added to squarish 4:3 images.
Stretch: Stretches a squarish 4:3 image across the
screen to display the entire image with less distortion
than the Standard format.
Stretch Plus: Similar to Stretch, but minimizes distor-
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
16:9 signals for digital broadcast.
Note: All high-definition channels send wide-
screen (16:9) signals, but not all programming was
created for the widescreen format. The broad-
caster may stretch the image or add side bars to
fill the widescreen area.

Notice Concerning 3D Format Compatibility
(TV Software Versions 012.06 and later)
Mitsubishi 738 series and 838 series 3D televi-
sions (the “TVs”) will no longer require the use of an
adapter when loaded with the software version of
012.06 (the “Software Update”). After the Software
Update, the TVs will support the mandatory HDMI
1.4a 3D signals intended for the United States. Spe-
cifically, the TVs will support the 3D signals known as
Frame Packing 1080p/24Hz and 720p/60Hz (pri-
marily from Blu-ray players and gaming consoles),
Side-by-Side in 1080i/60Hz, 1080p/24Hz/30Hz/60Hz
and 720p/60Hz, Top/Bottom in 1080p/24Hz and
720p/60Hz, and Checkerboard 1080p/60Hz.
However, there may be some 3D sources that are
not compatible with the TVs even after the Software
Update. In all cases: (1) 3D sources must connect to
the TVs using the HDMI inputs; and (2) Active Shutter
3D glasses with matching synchronization emitter or
DLP Link Active Shutter 3D glasses are required in
order to view 3D content.
Notes on Using 3D Video Settings
3D signals and 3D settings affect some TV functions.
Switch to a non-3D source to regain full TV operation.
If Source Format is set to Automatic or one of the
named 3D formats OR Source Format is set to Off and
the 3D video source is HDMI 1.4a compliant (picture
may appear as 2D), the following limitations apply:
• Picture adjustments are limited. To make picture
adjustments while watching normal 2D images from
the device, temporarily set Source Format to Off
to make the full range of adjustments accessible.
• The
FORMAT
key is disabled.
• The
INTERNET
key is disabled.

support of other 3D formats, such as top-bottom and
frame packing (3D Blu-ray standard), Mitsubishi 3D
TVs will require the use of a 3D source device that
outputs the 3D checkerboard format or a 3D source
device coupled with the Mitsubishi 3D adapter. In
all cases an emitter and matching 3D active shutter
glasses or DLP Link active shutter glasses are
required in order to view 3D content.
