Appendices 75 Appendix B: HDMI Control of CEC Devices Many new HDMI devices have a feature called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) or HDMI Control. HDMI Control allows one device, such as the TV, to control other devices, such as an A/V receiver or disc player. Use of CEC 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 HDMI Control.
Appendices HDMI Control of an HDMI A/V Receiver and Connected Devices Note: Connect the A/V receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable before making other connections. R AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L 1. Enable HDMI Control for the A/V receiver as 2. 3. 4. 5. described in “Enabling HDMI Control of CEC Devices” on the previous page. Power on the HDMI device you wish to connect to the A/V receiver (such as a disc player, cable box, or satellite receiver).
Appendices Resolving CEC Conflicts Using HDMI Control Because each manufacturer selects which CEC functions to support, some devices can conflict with other devices. If control conflicts arise, you can: • Turn off TV control of an individual CEC-enabled device (see below). • Turn off CEC in the setup menu of one of the devices.
Appendices Appendix C: TV Care Cleaning Recommendations General Cleaning Precautions Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.
