2.Connect the new device to the vacated jack.

3.Before selecting the input from the Input Selec- tion menu, open the Input Name menu from the NetCommand menu.

4.Highlight the input name box and press to select a new device name from the list associated with the input.

5.Press INPUT to open the Input Selection menu. High- light the input icon and press ENTER.

6.Press MENU and return to the NetCommand menu.

7.Highlight the Learn button and press ENTER.

8.When the Learn screen displays, continue as described earlier under “Initial NetCommand Setup for Most Device Types.”

9.Press EXIT when finished.

Other Options on the NetCommand Menu

For Input Name and Icon Order options, see chapter 5, “TV Menu Settings.”

Use the PC DVI Input option to specify the type of video signal coming from your computer. For more about this option, see chapter 7, “Using the TV with a Personal Computer.”

Set Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver

Perform this setup to:

Operate the A/V receiver’s power and volume functions with the TV’s remote control.

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.

You must have at hand the remote controls for both the TV and A/V receiver to perform this procedure.

Learn A/V Receiver Power and Volume Keys

1.Connect your A/V receiver to the TV. See chapter 2, “TV Connections,” for suggestions.

2.Open the NetCommand menu and under AV RECEIVER SETUP, highlight Learn and press ENTER.

3.In the NetCommand AV Receiver (AVR) Learn screen, press to highlight the check box for Power On.

4.Press ENTER on the TV’s remote control and while the text Power On is flashing, press and hold the Power or Power On key on the A/V receiver’s remote control.

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

to highlight the check box for Power Off. Repeat the preceding step to “learn” the POWER OFF key.

If your A/V receiver has no POWER OFF key, skip this step.

6.Press to highlight additional check boxes and repeat step 4 for the other A/V receiver keys.

7.When all keys have been learned, press EXIT.

Figure 13. AV Receiver (AVR) Learn screen. Perform NetCommand “learning” for these A/V receiver functions.

Set Up Automatic Switching of A/V Receiver Audio Inputs

There are two parts to this setup:

Part 1: “Learn” IR codes to control A/V receiver switching to the specified A/V receiver audio inputs.

Part 2: Tell the TV where connected devices send audio. Because the TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature never detects audio connections, the TV does not know that an A/V receiver is connected until you perform this procedure.

The sample setup shown in figure 14 illustrates three typical scenarios for sending audio to an A/V receiver:

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 to the TV first and then on to the A/V receiver.

Mitsubishi recommends you send audio to the TV first as shown in the example. The TV can convert the signal to digital audio and then send it to a digital A/V receiver.

Audio Available from TV only. Audio from ANT 1 and ANT 2, memory cards, and IEEE 1394 devices can only be sent to the A/V receiver from the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT or analog AUDIO OUT LEFT/RIGHT. In this setup, you tell NetCommand to switch to the A/V receiver’s designated TV audio input when using these devices.

Digital Surround Sound. A device (e.g., DVD player, cable box, satellite receiver) can send digital surround sound such as Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver, bypassing the TV entirely. A DVD player is used in this example.

It is also possible for your setup to include two (or more) 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.
