Mitsubishi Electronics 837 SERIES, 737 SERIES manual IR Emitter Placement

465. NetCommand IR Control (837 Series)

IR Emitter Placement

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to the IR–NetCommand Output jack to control other devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs.

IR emitter cables are available for purchase from Mitsubishi. Request either part number 242D483020 (two-ended cable) or part number 299P254020 (four-

ended cable).

1.Connect the plug end of the IR emitter cable to the IR—NetCommand Output jack on the TV back panel.

2.When the New Device Found screen displays, highlight EXIT and press ENTER.

The New Device Found screen displays when you connect the IR emitter.

3.Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing the device’s remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to reach the sensor.

In some cases, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Experiment to find what works best.

4.Secure the emitter ends in place using double- sided tape.

5.Place any unused ends behind the devices to prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

Place IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the IR sensor on each device.

If You are Unable to Locate a Device’s IR Sensor

•The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. Using a flashlight, you may be able to see it as a round or square cutout.

•If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, do the following using the device’s remote control.

1.Starting at one end of the plastic window, hold the device’s remote control about one-half inch from the front of the device and press the POWER key.

2.If the device does not respond, move the remote control one inch toward the center and try again. Repeat until the device responds.

3.Repeat the previous steps starting at the other end of the window. The sensor will be between these two points.

IMPORTANT

Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all.
