    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).
    Connect the plug end of the IR emitter cable to the 1. 
    IR—NetCommand Output jack on the TV back panel.
    When the 2. New Device Found screen displays, 
    highlight IR—NetCommand Output.
    The New Device Found screen displays when you 
    connect the IR emitter.
    Highlight 3. EXIT and press ENTER.
    Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing 4. 
    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.
    Secure the emitter ends in place using double-5. 
    sided tape.
    Place any unused ends behind the devices to 6. 
    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.
    Starting at one end of the plastic window, hold 1. 
    the device’s remote control about one-half 
    inch from the front of the device and press the 
    POWER key.
    If the device does not respond, move the 2. 
    remote control one inch toward the center and 
    try again.  Repeat until the device responds.
    Repeat the previous steps starting at the other 3. 
    end of the window.  The sensor is between 
    these two points.
    I M P O R TA N T
    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.

    Initial NetCommand Setup
    To perform this procedure, you need:
    The remote controls for both the TV and the •	
    device you want to control.
    An IR emitter cable available from Mitsubishi•	.
    Note: To set up an A/V receiver, see “Setting Up A/V 
    Receiver Control,” page 68.
    Connect and position the IR emitters for the 1. 
    devices you wish to control.  See “IR Emitters” on 
    the previous page.
    Set the 2. TV’s remote control to TV mode and power 
    on the TV.
    NetCommand Setup
    NetCommand and Device-Specific Keys
    Device-specific keys are those which have no 
    equivalent on the TV’s remote control.  Use any of 
    these methods to set up NetCommand control for 
    these keys.

    TOOLS key.
    F•	 Keys.  There are four F keys, F1 through F4, 
    which you can assign to any function on the 
    device’s remote control.  For a cable box, 
    “learn” the F keys as the A, B, C, D keys.
    Arbitrary Key Assignment.  You can assign a •	
    device key arbitrarily to any “unlearned”  key 
    on the TV’s remote control.  Make a note of the 
    key name and function for later reference.
    Switch the TV to the desired input to control.  Press 3. 
    INPUT, highlight the input icon, and press ENTER.
    Open the NetCommand 4. Inputs > Learn menu.
    The first function highlighted in the 5. Learn screen

    Automatic Audio/Video Switching Over an 
    HDMI Connection
    If your A /V receiver has an HDMI output, it may be con-
    venient to send audio and video to the TV over a single 
    HDMI cable through the A /V receiver.  The following 
    setup enables the A /V receiver to switch automatically 
    to the correct input when you select a device in the TV’s 
    Input Selection menu.  The connected source devices 
    can be analog, digital, or a mixture or the two.

    More About Using an HDMI Connection
    Audio from devices connected directly to the •	
    TV can be heard from the TV speakers only.  
    To send audio to the A /V receiver from such 
    devices, use one of the optional audio con-
    nections shown in the diagram on the next 
    page.  For example, use an optional audio 
    connection if you wish to use the A /V receiver 
    speakers to hear audio from:
    The  -ANT input
    A game or camcorder connected to the  -
    T V.
    To use NetCommand to supplement HDMI •	
    control of a CEC-enabled A /V receiver, the 
    recommended setup sequence is:
    Connect the HDMI cable.1. 
    Enable HDMI control (2. New Device Found 
    screen).
    Connect the secondary digital audio 3. 
    cable, if desired.
    Perform NetCommand setup.4. 
    If you perform A /V receiver NetCommand 
    setup first and then later connect an HDMI 
    cable, the NetCommand setup will be lost.
    In some cases, audio from a device connected •	
    to the A /V receiver may not be passed over the 
    HDMI cable to the TV speakers.  In these cases 
    you must use the A /V receiver speakers to hear 
    audio.
