Chapter 2: Connecting; External Devices And Netcommand® Setup - Mitsubishi Electric WD-52628 Owner's Manual

Connecting External Devices and NetCommand
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to
each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it can learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices
not already in the TV's memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio/Video
(A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V receiver
back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this
chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also
assigns preset TV and A/V receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio
and video) and to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below. If you connect devices to inputs other than the
ones shown as presets, you must change the NetCommand setup accordingly. See the Edit NetCommand information
starting on page 45.

After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to the NetCommand menu at any time to change the inputs you used for
connecting each device, custom name devices, add devices not included in the presets above or delete devices no
longer used. See Edit NetCommand. See Helpful Hints at the end of this chapter for additional information on device
setup.
