Appendix E: NetCommand HDMI Control of CE
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.
Enabling or Disabling the TV's NetCommand
HDMI Control
Turn on the device and allow it to complete the
power-on sequence (boot up).
Connect the device to one of the TV's HDMI inputs.
When the TV detects the connection, the Auto Input
Sensing screen will appear and provide additional
instructions. You will see one of the following
screens, depending on your equipment.
• Figure 2 (TV recognizes the CEC device}. The
TV's NetCommand HDMI Control is on and the
device's CEC capability is on. This screen con-
firms the device is CEC compatible by showing
the name provided by CEC. The screen shown in
figure 3 may display first before figure 2 appears.

NetCommand for HDMI is on and the connected device's
HDMI Control is also on.
• Figure 3 ("power on the device"}. One of these
conditions applies:
- The TV's NetCommand HDMI Control is
turned on, but HDMI control is turned off in
the menu of the new device.
Action: Enable the device's CEC capabili-
ties in the device's setup menus. Within a few
minutes you may see the screen in figure 2.
- The device has not yet been detected (e.g.,
no power).
Action: Power on the device.
The device does not have CEC compatibility.
Action: Check the device's setup menus. If
there is no HDMI control listed, the device
may not be compatible with CEC. Control the
device with its own remote control or use the
TV's NetCommand IR control.
Figure 1. The TV menu Inputs > NetCommand HDMI
Control lets you set HDMI control either on or off.
Connecting HDMI Devices to the TV
When setting up CEC control:
• Enable the TV's NetCommand HDMI control as described
above. NetCommand for HDMI is off by default.
• Connect and set up HDMI devices one at a time.
= First turn on the device and allow the power-on
sequence (boot up) to complete. Stop any playback,
and then connect the HDMI cable as described next.
Figure 3. "Power on the device." The TV's NetCommand
HDMI Control is on but either the connected device's
HDMI Control is off or the device is not CEC compatible.
