Setup to Control Automatic Switching of A/V Receiver Audio Inputs

Two different setups are described here:

Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to TV Audio Input

Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching for a device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver

• Audio Available from TV only: Use Setup 1.

Audio from ANT 1 and ANT 2 must be sent to the

A/V receiver from the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or

analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT.

Use Setup 1 to make the A/V receiver switch to

its designated TV audio input when viewing these

sources.

• HDMI, Digital Stereo Audio Only: Use Setup 1

Digital stereo audio from an HDMI connection

is available both in digital format (from the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) jack and in analog format

(from the TV’s AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack).

• Analog Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.

Audio from sources with only analog stereo output

(such as a VCR) can be sent either directly to the

A/V receiver or through to the TV and then on to the

A/V receiver.

Mitsubishi recommends you send audio through

could have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in this example.

Your setup may include additional devices with digital surround sound connected directly to the A/V receiver. These devices might be a DVD player plus a cable box or satellite receiver.

Before You Begin

1.Connect your A/V devices to the TV and connect your A/V receiver to the audio outputs on the TV and the DVD player. See chapter 3, “TV Connec- tions,” for suggestions.

2.Open the Inputs > AVR menu.

Note: The terms Input 1–Input 4 used in the AVR screen are temporary placeholder names. They refer to the A/V receiver inputs for which the TV can learn IR codes.

Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to Its TV Audio Input

Most devices are set up like the VCR in this example, in which analog audio from the device is sent through the TV.

Use this setup for:

•Sources providing only analog stereo output, such as a VCR.

•Audio from ANT 1 and ANT 2

the TV as shown in the example. Setup 1 causes

the A/V receiver to switch to its input designated for

TV audio.

If you have a digital A/V receiver, the TV makes the

audio available by converting analog audio to a

digital output.

• Digital Surround Sound: Use Setup 2.

A device can send digital surround sound such as

IMPORTANT

To hear audio sent from the TV to the A/V receiver, you must have:

•physically connected the TV to the A/V receiver

•selected the A/V receiver as the audio

source. Press AUDIO, then	to show the
Speakers option, then	to select the A/V
Receiver.

•“learned” the IR codes for the A/V receiver inputs

•chosen the correct input in the NetCommand A/V Receiver Learn screen

Setup 1: A/V receiver audio from the TV’s digital or analog audio output (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or AVR AUDIO OUTPUT)

1.Under Learn/Name, navigate to highlight the area next to Input 1.

In this example, the IR code for the A/V receiver’s TV Audio input will be “learned” as Input 1.

2.Press ENTER on the TV’s remote control.

3.While the text Input1 is flashing, press and hold the TV INPUT key on the A/V receiver’s remote control.

4.When a check appears next to Input 1, release the TV INPUT key.

•If the text stops flashing before the check mark appears, repeat this step.
