Mitsubishi NetCommand User Manual

NetCommand® Basics
Welcome to NetCommand
NetCommand® is an intelligent control system that
makes your Mitsubishi TV the heart of your home
theater. With NetCommand, the TV sends signals to
the other devices in the system via the IR emitters,
telling the devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust
volume, change channels and many more functions. All
of this is accomplished with the TV's remote control.
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 already preprogrammed to operate.
NetCommand® also includes the ability 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. Quit the Setup Wizard if you
would rather set up Netcommand later or not use
NetCommand at all.
