Setting Up A/V Receiver Control

Power and Volume

Perform this setup to control A/V receiver power and volume with the TV’s remote control.

To perform this setup you need:

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

An IR emitter cable available from Mitsubishi.

Before You Begin

1.Connect your A/V receiver to the TV and any addi- tional devices.

2.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 Emitters,” page 65.

3.Set the TV’s remote control to TV mode.

Setup to Control A/V Receiver Power and Volume

1.Open the Inputs > AVR menu.

2.The first function highlighted in the AVR screen is always Power. Aim the TV’s remote control at the TV and press ENTER to begin learning for Power.

Inputs > AVR screen. Perform NetCommand IR “learning” for A/V receiver power and volume keys.

3.When the Power text starts flashing, aim the A/V receiver’s remote control at the TV and hold the POWER or POWER ON key until a check mark appears next to Power.

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

To remove the key from NetCommand control, press the CANCEL key while the key name is highlighted.

4.Press the key on the TV’s remote control to highlight other keys in the list. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each addi- tional function you wish to control through NetCommand.

5.If the A/V receiver has a separate POWER OFF key,

press on the TV’s remote to highlight Power Off. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to “learn” the POWER OFF key.

If the device has no POWER OFF key, skip this step.

6.When finished “learning” the power and volume keys, press EXIT to watch TV or continue NetCommand setup if using an HDMI connection. See “Automatic Audio/Video Switching Over an HDMI Connection” on the next page
