6. NetCommand IR Control (736 and 835 Series TVs)

Before You Begin

Connect your A/V devices to the TV and connect

your A/V receiver to the audio outputs on the TV
and the DVD player. See chapter 3, “TV Connec-
tions,” for suggestions.

Important: You must

connect the A/V receiver to the TV’s audio output;
use the TV’s

AVR AUDIO OUTPUT or DIGITAL AUDIO

OUTPUT jack.
Position NetCommand IR emitters as described in

“IR Emitter Placement,” page 52.
Open the

Inputs > AV Receiver menu.

Note: The terms Input1–Input5 used in the AV Re-

ceiver menu are arbitrary names used by the TV
to distinguish A/V receiver inputs.

Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to the
TV Audio Input
Most devices are set up like the VCR in this example, in
which analog audio from the device is sent through the TV.

Use this setup for:

Sources providing only analog stereo output,

•

such as a VCR.
Audio from

•

ANT 1 and ANT 2

A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio
Switching

Perform this setup to enable the A/V receiver to switch
automatically to the correct audio input when you select
a device in the TV’s

Input Selection menu.

To set up control of an A/V receiver you need:

The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V

•

receiver.
The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•

Two different setups are described here:
Setup 1: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to TV
Audio Input
Setup 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching for a
device sending audio directly to the A/V receiver

Review these descriptions to find the setup needed for
your equipment.

• Audio Available from TV only: Use Setup 1.

Audio from

ANT 1 and ANT 2 must be sent to

the A/V receiver from the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO

OUTPUT or analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT.
Use Setup 1 to make the A/V receiver switch to
its designated TV audio input when viewing these
sources.

• HDMI Digital Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1

Digital stereo audio from an HDMI connection
is available both in digital format (from the TV’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT) jack and in analog
format (from the TV’s

AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack).

• Analog Stereo Audio: Use Setup 1.

Audio from sources with only analog stereo output
(such as a VCR) can be sent either directly to the
A/V receiver or through to the TV and then on to the
A/V receiver.
Mitsubishi recommends you send audio through
the TV as shown in the example. Setup 1 causes
the A/V receiver to switch to its input designated for
TV audio.

Setting Up NetCommand Control of
an A/V Receiver, continued

If you have a digital A/V receiver, the TV makes the
audio available by converting analog audio to a
digital output.

• Digital Surround Sound: Use Setup 2.

A device can send digital surround sound such as
Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver,
bypassing the TV entirely. The device might be
a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and
could have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in
this example.
Your setup may include additional devices with
digital surround sound connected directly to the
A/V receiver. These devices might be a DVD player
plus a cable box or satellite receiver.

Press the

key on the

TV’s remote control to highlight

other keys in the list. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each addi-
tional function you wish to control through NetCommand.
If the A/V receiver has a separate

POWER OFF key,

press on the

TV’s remote to highlight Power Off.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to “learn” the

POWER OFF key.

When finished “learning” the power and volume

keys, either press

EXIT to watch TV or leave the AV

Receiver screen open to continue with NetCom-
mand setup to control switching of A/V receiver
inputs.

IMPORTANT

To hear audio sent from the TV to the A/V receiver,
you must have:
• physically connected the TV to the A/V receiver
• selected the A/V receiver as the audio source.

Press AUDIO, then to show the Speakers
option, then to select the A/V Receiver.

• “learned” the IR codes for the A/V receiver

inputs

• chosen the correct input in the NetCommand

A/V Receiver Learn screen

IMPORTANT

All audio from what you are watching on the
TV is always available from both the TV’s AVR
AUDIO OUTPUT and DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
jacks.
To use the digital surround sound capabilities
of your A/V receiver however, you must connect
your DVD player, satellite receiver, or cable box
directly to the A/V receiver, as surround sound
may not be available from the TV’s audio output.
