Mitsubishi Electronics 148 Series, 246 Series Setup to Control Switching to the TV’s Audio Output

646. NetCommand IR Control

Setting Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver, continued

example, use an optional audio connection if you wish to use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio from:

-- The ANT 1 or ANT 2 inputs

-- A device connected to the convenience input (input 4), such as a game or camcorder.

•In some circumstances, audio from a device con- nected to the A/V receiver may not be passed over the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. You must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio in these cases.

Before You Begin

To complete these steps you will need:

•The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V receiver.

•The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•An HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the A/V receiver to the TV and cables necessary to connect devices to the A/V receiver.

1.Connect your audio/video devices to the A/V receiver. Note the name of the device connected to each A/V receiver input. This information will be needed later to set up NetCommand’s automatic input switching.

2.Connect the A/V receiver to the TV with an HDMI- to-HDMI cable.

3.Connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and position the IR emitter where it can send signals to the A/V receiver. See “IR Emitter Placement,” page 55.

4.Power on the A/V receiver.

5.Set the TV’s remote control slide switch to the TV position and power on the TV if needed.

Setup to Control A/V Receiver Power and Volume

Perform the steps under “A/V Receiver Control: Power and Volume,” page 60.

Setup to Control Switching to the TV’s Audio Output

If you have used one of the optional audio connec- tions to the TV’s AVR AUDIO OUTPUT or DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks, set up NetCommand to control switching to the TV audio input. Perform the steps under “Audio Switching Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to the TV Audio Input,” page 62.

Setup to Control Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI

Follow these steps if you wish NetCommand to control switching of A/V receiver video as well as audio inputs. When this setup is complete, you can use the TV’s Input Selection menu to select a video device con- nected to the A/V receiver. You can also perform addi- tional NetCommand setup to control devices connected to the A/V receiver.

1.Display the Inputs > AVR menu.

Note: The labels Input1 through Input5 in the Learn column are names used by the TV to uniquely identify A/V receiver inputs.

2.With the highlight in the Learn column, highlight one of the Input labels Input2 through Input5; it is recommended you leave Input1 reserved for TV Audio.

1The Learn column lists “learnable” keys from the A/V receiver’s remote control.

2Input1 through Input5 are arbitrary names used by the TV to uniquely identify “learnable” A/V receiver inputs.

3A check mark next to a key name indicates it has been “learned” by NetCommand.

4The Assign Input column provides a list of possible device types. Use this list to

select the device type connected to the associated A/V receiver input. The assigned device name will appear in the Input Selection menu.
