A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio Switching

Perform one of these setups to enable the A/V receiver to switch automatically to the correct audio input when you select a device in the TV’s Input Selection menu.

To set up control of an A/V receiver you need:

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

•The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•Connecting cables

Two different setups are described here. Review the descriptions to find the setup needed for your equip-

ment. To switch both audio and video via an HDMI connection, see page 64.

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

Audio Switching Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to a device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver. You must use setup 2 to hear digital sur- round sound from the source device.

Audio Switching Setup 1: A/V receiver audio from the TV’s digital or analog audio output

•Audio Available from TV only

Audio from ANT 1 and ANT 2 must be sent to the A/V receiver from the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT 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.

•Analog Stereo Audio

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 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.

•HDMI Digital Stereo Audio

Digital stereo audio from an HDMI connection is available both in digital format (from the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack) and in analog

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

Audio Switching Setup 2: Audio from a device providing surround sound is sent directly to the A/V receiver.

Note: This setup is required to hear digital sur- round sound

A device can send digital surround sound such as Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver, bypassing the TV entirely. The device might be a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and 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.
