Welcome to NetCommand TM2.0 Your new Mitsubishi television is equipped with NetCommand TM 2.0, the latest technology in home theater control. NetCommand TM technology combines the control of older IR controlled devices with the control of brand new IEEE 1394 devices to make your television the "brain" of your home theater.
Special Features Device Selection Menu Track List This menu allows you to: • Select the device for viewing on the TV. • Select TV speakers or A/V Receiver speakers for the audio. • Change a NetCommand inputs automatically. • Power NetCommand TM NetCommand For NetCommand TM TM or delete Setup compatible A/V Receiver's devices on or off. • Verify NetCommandTM recordings and peer-to-peer connections.
Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices There are two different connection styles that can be used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the style that fits your network of audio/video products. Direct Device-To-Device Style Digital DVD (Figure 1) The IEEE 1394 offers you the capability to chain devices, unlike previous audio and video connections where you had to individually connect each device directly to the TV.
Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices 4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style (Figures I and 2) There are two different types of connectors IEEE 1394 terminals a 6-pin style. and cables, used for a 4-pin style, and The 4-pin connector is capable of sending digital audio signals, digital video signals and digital control signals back and forth between devices. Your TV has three 4-pin type connectors Figure 1. 4-pin connector available.
Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered ON, the new device will automatically announce its presence. This is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute. Some non-audio/video or non-compatible IEEE 1394 devices, such as Personal Computers (PCs), may not announce their presence to the TV.
Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically 1394 Device Type Screen (Figure 1) If the new 1394 device is also connected using analog inputs, you will need to define the device type. Select the type of device, such as a VCR. Once the device type is selected, then the Device screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be selected (see Figure 2). If the manufacturer is listed, then you may be able to control this device while it is operating as an analog VCR.
Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices Digital Control It is possible to connect devices to the TV that have IEEE 1394 connectors but are not compatible with the TV or with the NetCommand TM control system. This TV is DTV Link compatible, and should work properly with other devices that carry the DTV Link logo.
Device Selection Menu When you press the DEVICE button on your remote control, the Device Selection menu appears. When NetCommand has not been setup, the Device Connection Video Section TM Selection menu allows you to select the input for viewing. When NetCommand TM is setup the Device Selection menu allows you to select the device for viewing, select audio from the TV speakers or A/V Receiver, power compatible devices On or Off, and verify the destination of signals. Figure I.
Transport Menu Displaying the Transport Menu Selecting a VCR or DVD Player from the Device Selection menu will automatically display the Transport menu. This menu is also displayed when one of the transport buttons on the remote control is pressed when viewing these devices. You can re-display this menu by pressing the Device Menu button. Using the Transport Menu Figure 1. Transport Menu.
Remote Control Buttons: Device Menu Button ADJUST Button ENTer Button DEVICE MENU Button \ Device Menu Button The DEVICE MENU button displays the Transport playback devices. A second press of this button will display the menus for NetCommand TM compatible IEEE 1394 devices. Menu access varies by device. While watching a NetCommand TM compatible traditional IR controlled or an IEEE 1394 device, press the DEVICE MENU button once or twice, to display the menu for that device. Figure 1.

Use the ADJUST and ENTer buttons to navigate the displayed Guide. For Netcommand TM compatible satellite receivers, you may also be able to use the number or other additional buttons.
Remote Control Buttons: Special Features and Record Special Features To record from Ant-A, Ant-B, Ant-DTV devices, see NetCommand TM or other Controlled Recordings. For both NetCommand TM compatible traditional IR devices and IEEE 1394 compatible devices, these buttons on your TV remote control may also operate the similar functions for the device: CHANNEL VOLUME MUTE Numbers HOME NetCommand in a recording 0-9 TM is able to search to a specific 2.

NetCommand TM Controlled Recordings Record List Screen Restrictions for Traditional VCRs (Figure 1) To view a list of all of your currently programmed recordings, select List from the Record/Connect screen. A maximum of 8 scheduled recordings are possible at a time. To cancel a recording on the Record List, use ADJUST A or • to select the recording, then press CANCEL. If turned On, the TV must be viewing the source device.
NetCommand TM Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections What is a Peer-to-Peer Setting up a Peer-to-Peer Connection? Connection A peer-to-peer connection allows the IEEE 1394 devices in your TV network to talk to each other without the further need of TV intervention once the (Figure peer-to-peer connection is established. 1) A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection and cannot be setup as a delayed connection.
Problem • When a Device is selected from the Device Selection menu, the screen is blue (no signal source). Possible Solution • Make sure the selected device is turned on. • From the Edit NetCommandTM menu select Review then check the Review screen to see if inputs match the actual connections on the TV inputs. If they do not match, either change the actual connections, or select Change on the Edit NetCommand TM menu to change the TV Memory for the connection.
Problem • The REC button is not working, or, on the Transport menu the record key is grayed out and not available. Possible Solution • The device does not support recording, such as a DVD player. • Recordings can not be initiated from the Transport menu when the device is an IEEE 1394 device. To record to an IEEE 1394 device, change the TV to the ANT-DTV or source device for the recording and press the REC key. The Record menu displays allowing setup of a recording.
Problem Possible Solution • Cannot record to or from the IEEE 1394 device, including Dub recordings. • To initiate a recording to IEEE 1394 device, first select the source device to record, such as Ant-DTV (NOT the recording device). Then press the REC key. The Record/Connect menu displays allowing setup of the recording. • The source device for the recording is not powered on. • For a dubbing, the destination device for the recording is not powered on.
Problem Possible Solution • Cannot see a picture from a DV Camcorder. • Go to Device connection. Selection menu and select analog • Connect the DV Camcorder to analog input (for example, Input-5). Then go to Setup in the main menu, select Edit NetCommand TM, and select Change. On the Change screen select the camcorder. On the Name screen, check Analog Connection. Then select the device and on the following screen, select which analog input was used, and check • All IEEE 1394 devices disappear.
