External Devices And Netcommand ® Overview; Overview - Mitsubishi Electric LT-3280 Owner's Manual

Chapter 2: Connecting
External Devices and NetCommand
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and
video devices by sending remote control signals from
the media center to each device through IR emitters.
Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control
signals used by most audio video devices not already
in the media center's memory. NetCommand can
automatically switch to compatible Audio/Video (A/V)
devices or those that have or "learned" NetCommand
settings. It is important that the inputs on the
media center and A/V receiver rear panels match the
NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.
The following charts show which
preset inputs you should use on
the media center and A/V receiver.
Chart 1 shows media center
inputs.
Chart 2 shows the inputs used
by A/V receiver models already
known by NetCommand.
After setting up NetCommand, you may go to the NetCommand menu at any time to change the inputs you used for
connecting each device, create custom names for devices, add devices not included in the presets above or delete
devices no longer used. See Helpful Hints, at the end of this chapter for additional information on device setup.

Overview

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, step-by-
step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedures are
provided in Chapter 3, which includes the types and
brands of devices you are connecting to the media center.
NetCommand Setup also assigns preset media center
and A/V receiver inputs for each device. Typically, each
device is connected to the media center input (video) and
to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.
Connections will vary depending on your requirements.
