Appendix E: NetCommand HDMI Control of CEC Devices
Many new HDMI devices have a feature called CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control) or HDMI Control.
Mitsubishi calls this feature NetCommand HDMI Control
or NetCommand for HDMI. HDMI CEC allows one device,
such as the TV, to control other devices, such as an A/V
receiver or disc player. CEC use is optional.
Each manufacturer chooses which CEC functions to support
so it is difficult to predict which devices and features are
compatible with Mitsubishi's NetCommand for HDMI. You
may find that CEC functions for a specific device are limited.
To use CEC, you must enable operation in all three
of the following:
•
The TV's Inputs > NetCommand HDMI Control
menu. When off, the TV sends no control signals to CEC
devices. NetCommand HDMI control is off by default.
•
The TV's Inputs > Name menu.
on or off the TV's control signals to individual
CEC devices. This option operates only when
NetCommand HDMI Control is enabled.
The device setup menus.
•
CEC compatibility let you turn it on or off in the device
menus, where it is typically listed as "HDMI Control."
