Chapter 3. NetCommand Setup and Editing
Welcome To NetCommand!
NetCommand makes your TV the heart of your Home Theater
NetCommand® is an intelligent control system that allows your Mitsubishi TV to become the heart of your Home
Theater. With NetCommand, the TV sends signals to the other devices in the system, telling them to play, record,
change inputs, adjust volume, change channels and many more functions. All of this is accomplished with one remote
control and without changing control layers.
IR Learning and IEEE 1394 Support
The “IR Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the TV to learn the remote control signals for new devices that the TV
is not preprogrammed to operate. NetCommand® also includes the capability to control IEEE 1394 devices by sending
control signals on a FireWire® cable.
Using NetCommand is completely optional
When you first turn on the TV, the NetCommand Setup Wizard launches. If you decide to use NetCommand, follow
the on-screen instructions. If you choose not to use it right away, simply quit the Setup Wizard and NetCommand will
remain inactive. Later, if you decide to use NetCommand, you can easily access the Setup Wizard.
NetCommand and Levels of Control
When you set up NetCommand, you decide how much control you want the TV to have over your home theater system.
You have the choice of performing a basic, limited, or complete NetCommand setup.
Basic Setup
In a basic setup, NetCommand will:
automatically switch to the correct TV input when you want to view programming from a different device. All
you do is select the device from the on-screen device selection menu. This saves you from having to search
for the correct input every time you want to change devices. Unused inputs are automatically deactivated so
that you don’t see them in the menu.
show an on-screen icon for each device connected to the TV so you always know what devices are available.
Note that with a basic setup, you still need to use the remote control specific to each device.
Limited Setup
In a limited setup, you get the benefits of the basic setup plus NetCommand control over the specific devices you
have chosen. Use this type of setup if you:
only want NetCommand to control a few devices, such as the TV, a playback device (like a DVD player), and a
cable box. With this setup, you can use the TV’s remote to control these devices.
want to use TV Guide On Screen® to control your cable box, VCR, or A/V disc. After performing this setup,
you can use the TV’s remote to control the device.
Full Setup
Perform a full setup if you want NetCommand to:
control a surround sound A/V receiver.
automatically change input selections for the A/V receiver.
control all devices with the TV’s remote, including the A/V receiver.
NetCommand Helps You Manage Your Home-Theater Connections
With the NetCommand Review screen you can:
view a summary of all devices connected to the TV and the input used for each device.
deactivate or turn off unused input connections.
If you need to change your setup, a NetCommand sub-menu lets you easily
add new devices.
deleted devices you have disconnected.
change device and input selections.
