Connecting E × temai Devices and NetCommand ® Setup NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters . Additionally , it can barn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV's memory . NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio / Video ( A / V ) Receivers to the correct input used with each device . It is important that the inputs on the TV and AiV receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen . To simplify the installation of NetCommand , there is a step - by - step on - screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this chapter , which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV . The NetCommand Setup also assigns preset TV and AiV receiver inputs for each device . You should connect each device to the TV input ( both audio and video ) and to the AiV receiver ( audio ) as shown in the figure below . If you connect devices to inputs other than the ones shown as presets , you must change the NetCommand setup accordingly . See the Edit NetCommand information starting on page 45 .

This TV does not have 6 - pin 6 pin connector connectors . The purpose of this low - voltage electrical power is to provide the needed operating power to a device that is not connected directly to the household AC power , such as a camcorder . A device with a 6 - pin connector can Digital send this electrical power to another device , or receive Digital VCR electrical power from another device , or simply use a 6 - DVD pin connector without using the two additional pins . TV A 6 - pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4 - pin jack , and vice versa .

Helpful Hints for NetCommand Connections e . My VCR ( or other device } does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs . How can I connect this device's audio to both the TV and the A / V Receiver ? A _ Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV onHy . Use Edit NetCommand ® to change the setup of this device . In the Connection screen of " Change " make sure both audio and video for the TV input are check marked and the audio for the AVR input is not check marked . This will allow the NetCommand system to use the TV outputs to transfer the device's audio to the AiV Receiver . See Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for details . Q . I have both the TV stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to the same input designations on my A / V Receiver , How do I switch between analog audio and digital audio ? A _ In most setups , analog audio is also output as digital audio , so no switching is required , and there is no need to connect the analog output . In some circumstances , however , you may also need analog audio from the TV . For example , MP3 audio is only output in analog format , so you must connect the TV's analog AUDIO OUTPUT to the AiV Receiver if you want to hear MP3 audio through the AiV receiver . Refer to your AiV Receiver user's guide to find out how analog / digital audio switching works . If your AiV Receiver's remote control has an Analog / Digital Audio key , you can use the GUIDE key with the following models to control switching : Mitsubishi M - VR900 Integra DTR - 9J Denon AVR - 2700 Kenwood VR - 2080 To make the switch , press the Device key on the TV's remote control , and from the Device Selection menu , press the Audio key . Then , with the AiV Receiver highlighted , press the GUIDE key to make the switch . If you have some other AiV Receiver model , use the TV's learn function to learn the analog / digital audio code for the GUIDE key . Follow the instructions above for using the GUIDE key . If your AiV Receiver has an Analog / Digital selection key on the front panel only , and not on the remote , then your only option is to use that key to perform switching . Q . The front panel of my A / V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the remote control sensor of the A / V Receiver . What can I do ? A . There are several possible solutions . 1 _ Mount the IR Emitter on the top , front edge of the AiV Receiver over the remote control sensor . Use tape to secure it in place . 2 _ Mount the IR Emitter on the underside of the shelf above the AiV Receiver ( if the AiV Receiver is in a cabinet ) . Use double sided tape to secure it in place . 3 _ Some small stick - on emitters from other manufacturers may be compatible with this TV's IR Emitter jacks . These may be used instead of the supplied IR Emitters . Q . I occasionally need to see the menu from my A / V Receiver . How can I connect it to the TV for this purpose ? A . You can connect the video output of the A / V Receiver to an unused input on the TV . Then use Edit NetCommand to " Add " this as an " Other " device , not an AiV Receiver . On the " Connection " screen , indicate which TV input was used and check mark the video box . Make sure the TV input audio box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not check marked . You should also name this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu . You can also use Input 3 on the front panel . Q . I have a high definition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S = video output I would like to be able use as well . is there any way to connect this receiver both ways ? A _ Yes , this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu . Just add this unit once using the Component - 1 and once using one of the S - video inputs . Make sure you indicate that this is the same manufacturer for both . We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S - video to the TV so that you do not need to use two inputs on the AiV Receiver . If this is a NetCommand compatible HDTV receiver and HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control , see Edit NetCommand in the next chapter for NetCommand control of this feature . Chapter 2 .

NetCommand ® Introduction NetCommand makes your TV the heart of your Home Theater NetCommand @ is an intelligent control system that makes your Mitsubishi TV the heart of your home theater . With NetCommand , the TV sends signals to the other devices in the system via the IR emitters , telling the devices to play , record , change inputs , adjust volume , change channels and many more functions . All of this is accomplished with one remote control and without changing control layers . IR Learning and IEEE 1394 Support The ( R " Learning " feature of NetCommand allows the TV to barn the V ® remote control signals for new devices that the TV is not preprogrammed to operate . NetCommand @ also includes the capability of controlling IEEE 1394 devices by sending control signals on a FireWire @ cable . Using HetOommand is completely optional When you first turn on the TV , the NetCommand Setup Wizard launches . If you decide to use NetCommand , follow the on - screen instructions . If you choose not to use it right away , simply quit the Setup Wizard and NetCommand will remain inactive . Later , if you decide to use NetCommand , you can easily access the Setup Wizard . HetOommand and Levels of Control When you set up NetCommand , you decide how much control you want the TV to have over your home theater system . You have the choice of performing a basic , limited , or complete NetCommand setup . o Basic Setup In a basic setup , NetCommand will : 0 automatically switch to the correct TV input when you want to view programming from a different device . All you do is select the device from the on - screen device selection menu . This saves you from having to search for the correct input every time you want to change devices . Unused inputs are automatically deactivated so that you don't see them in the menu . 0 show an on - screen icon for each device connected to the TV so you always know what devices are available . Note that with a basic setup , you still need to use the remote control specific to each device . Limited Setup In a limited setup , you get the benefits of the basic setup plus NetCommand control over the specific devices you have chosen . Use this type of setup if you : 0 only want NetCommand to control a few devices , such as the TV , a playback device ( like a DVD player ) , and a cable box . With this setup , you can use the TV's remote to control these devices . 0 want to use TV Guide On Screen @ to control your cable box and VCR and / or AiV disc . After performing this setup , you can use the TV's remote to control these devices . Full Setup Perform a full setup if you want NetCommand to : 0 control a surround sound AiV receiver . 0 automatically change input selections for the AiV receiver . 0 control all devices with the TV's remote , including the AiV receiver . HetOommand Helps You Manage Your Home Theater With the NetCommand Review screen you can : view a summary of all devices connected to the TV and the input used for each device . deactivate or turn off unused input connections ; reactivate or turn them on .

IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand ® Control See pages 33 and 34 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles . The TV is not able to control IEEE 1394 devices that use other types of control protocols . Incompatible digital audio , video and / or control information will still be able to pass from one device through the TV to another device on the network . These incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand menu . NetOommand ControJ of DigitaJ Devices Using the " Learn " Feature . Some IEEE 1394 devices , such as came boxes or satellite receivers , will not have compatibHe digitaH controH signaHs or require the use of the device's own remote control Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not dispHay on - screen information through the BEEE1394 connection and will require using an analog connection for on - screen displays . In many cases , to control these digital devices , the Learning feature of NetCommand can be used . 1 . Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device's remote control sensor ( see IR Emitters , page 32 ) . 2 . On the Name for 1394 Device screen ( Figure 29 , page 54 ) use ADJUST and ENTER to check mark the Analog Connection box . 3 . Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen ( Figure 30 , page 55 ) of SAT or similar tuning device 4 .

Follow the device learning instructions found on the screen ( s ) or in the Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3 . 7 . The Connection screen ( Figure 32 , page 55 ) follows the learning screens . If analog connections are used , select the correct inputs . If only digital connections are used , do not check the video or audio boxes . 8 . Proceed with the Finish screen . This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices . Note : When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections , the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice . The first press of GUIDE will display the TV's digital channel guide . The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available . Chapter 3 .
