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. By
connecting all of your compatible A/V devices as mapped out in both the Owner's Guide, and this, the
NetCommand TM Guide, you will be able to view and control your compatible A/V devices using your
television screen and TV remote control. Here are just some of the benefits NetCommand TM will offer to
you:
• The Device Selection menu to select devices and combination of devices for viewing.
• You can operate all compatible devices from a single remote control.
• You can enjoy automatic switching of both video source for the TV and audio source for your A/V
Receiver.
• Easy switching from TV speakers to A/V Receiver speakers.
• Both your IEEE 1394 devices and your traditional NetCommand TM compatible IR devices will appear
together on your Device Selection menu and operate in the same way.

Special Features
Device Selection Menu
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 TM compatible A/V Receiver's
inputs automatically.
• Power NetCommand TM devices on or off.

Transport Menu
This menu allows you to operate the transport
functions of NetCommand TM compatible IR
controlled and IEEE 1394 recording and playback
devices.
Record and Connect Buttons
The Record button on the remote control will allow
you to begin a recording or schedule a delayed
recording using NetCommand TM. The CONNECT
button allows you to establish a peer-to-peer
connection between two IEEE 1394 devices
connected to the TV network.
Track List
The Track List allows you to play, select or delete
the programs stored on your AV Disc.
NetCommand TM Setup
For NetCommand TM traditional devices, the
NetCommand TM Setup should have been
completed. The NetCommand TM Setup will detail
what type and brand of devices are connected and
how these devices are connected to the TV and
A/V Receiver. In addition, you need to connect IR
Emitters to the TV connection labeled IR Emitter
Home Theater Control. IR Emitter ends should be
properly placed in front of each NetCommand TM IR
device. You will need to make this connection in
order to control NetCommand TM IR devices. The
remote control needs to be programmed to operate
NetCommand TM functions. See the TV Owner's
Guide for instructions on connecting IR compatible
devices, using the NetCommand TM Setup and
programming the remote control.
Non-NetCommand TM IR Devices
When you are using a non-NetCommand TM
compatible device, select the device on the Device
Selection menu and press ENTer. Then move the
slide switch at the top of your remote control to the
appropriate layer and point the remote control at
the device to control it, or you will need to use the
remote control that came with that device. You can
also use the IR Emitter-Repeater outputs from the
back of the TV.

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
(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. For example, you
can connect your D-VHS to your 1394 DVD Player
and then connect the 1394 DVD Player to the TV.
The resulting IEEE 1394 chain will allow you to add
more devices to the chain. You will be able to see
each video device on the TV and send information
from any IEEE 1394 device to other compatible
devices.
Hub Connection Style
(Figure 2)
The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to
connect your devices using the TV as a hub within
the audio/video network. Each device can send
information, which may include audio and video, to
any other device in the network.

Figure 2. Hub Connection Style
When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices
• Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the TV. When the device chain is looped, the TV may not be able to
work with the other devices.
• Place devices that have only a mechanical (two-position) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power
switch in the ON position. When turned OFF, IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other
devices.
• Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain. Sometimes the communication speed
will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector as an "S" number. The higher the number, the faster the communication
speed. Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices.
• Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device.
• This TV is an IEEE 1394A Device. IEEE 1394B is currently under development. This system will provide for long-
distances and multi-room applications. Included in the IEEE 1394B systems is IEEE 1394A to IEEE 1394B converters
to maintain compatibility with this TV and other IEEE 1394A devices.

Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices
Figure 1. 4-pin connector
Figure 2. 6-pin connector
4-Pin Style vs. 6-Pin Style
(Figures I and 2)
There are two different types of connectors used for
IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin style, and
a 6-pin style.
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 available.
The 6-pin connector is capable of sending the same
digital audio, video and control signals as the 4-pin
connector, but the 6-pin connector is also able to
send low voltage electrical power. The purpose
of this electrical power is to provide the needed
operating power to a device that is not connected
directly to the household AC power such as some
camcorders. A device with a 6-pin connector can
send this electrical power to another device, or
receive electrical power from another device, or
simply use a 6-pin connector without using the two
additional pins.
A 6-pin connector cannot be connected directly to
a 4-pin jack, and vice versa. To connect a 6-pin
device to a 4-pin device, you will need to obtain
a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor cable. These cables are
available from electronic and computer stores.
If you connect a 6-pin device to the TV (such as a
camcorder) that is designed to receive electrical
power from another 6-pin device, then you will need
to connect the camcorder directly to the household
AC, or use the camcorder's battery for power. If this
is not possible, then the camcorder will need to be
connected directly to another 6-pin device in the
network that can provide the electrical power.

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. The TV will not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection
menu, however, they will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible
with these non-audio/video devices.
IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with
those devices. For some compatible devices, the Cable/DSS/DTV position of the TV remote control may
be able to control operation.
New 1394 Device Screen
(Figure 1)
When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device,
the New 1394 Device screen will appear. Selecting
Add will include the device in the Device Selection
menu. Selecting Not Added will not add the device
to the Device Selection menu. If the IEEE 1394
device does not provide audio and video, you may
not want to add that device to the TV's Device
Selection menu. Devices that were discovered
but not added to the Device Selection menu will
still be listed in the Review screen of the Edit
NetCommand TM menu.
Name for 1394 Device Screen
(Figure 2)
If you choose to add the discovered IEEE 1394
device, the Name for 1394 Device Screen will
appear. You can then name the device or use the
default name that appears automatically.
Some IEEE 1394 digital devices, such as some
D-VHS VCRs, can also operate as analog devices.
For example, some D-VHS VCRs can also record
and play in VHS or S-VHS. This feature allows you
to play analog rental tapes or analog tapes from
your established library or make analog recordings
from antenna or cable systems. To use the analog
capability, check the Analog Connection box. Also,
you will need to connect the device to the TV using
video or S-video cables.
Figure 1. New 1394 Device Screen
Figure 2. Name for 1394 Device Screen

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. For example, if the
IEEE 1394 device you have added is a Mitsubishi
D-VHS VCR, and you have selected an analog
connection as a second connection, then you will
select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer.
Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote
control sensor, just as you have done for other
NetCommand TM compatible traditional devices. It
is necessary to use the IR Emitter only when the
D-VHS VCR is being used as an S-VHS or VHS
VCR. When the D-VHS VCR is playing or recording
digital signals in D-VHS, the TV will control the VCR
through the IEEE 1394 cable.
Connection Screen
(Figure 3)
The Connection Screen allows you to select which
input on the TV you used to connect the video or
S-Video cables and which TV or A/V Receiver input
you used to connect the stereo audio cables. Match
the input names for the TV Input and AVR Input
selections. If your A/V Receiver has other inputs
than those listed in the menu, those other inputs are
not available for NetCommand TM.
The playback and record control of some DV
camcorders may still operate by the IEEE 1394
cable automatically, even though you must use
the video or S-video cable for the picture. In this
case, when you select the Camcorder, be sure to
select analog (not digital) from the pop up when a
camcorder is selected from the Device Selection
menu. Then the picture is shown via the analog
connection but control is from IEEE 1394.

Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices
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. There are three areas of compatibility to
consider:
• Digital Video Signals
• Digital Audio Signals
• Digital Control Signals
Digital Video Signals
The TV is able to decode MPEG2 video. Other
types of digital video, such as DV video, provided
by some camcorders, must be decoded by the
source device and sent to the TV as analog video
or S-Video. If the camcorder uses a compatible
digital control system, the IEEE 1394 cable can still
provide control for the camcorder while the TV is
viewing the video or S-Video signals.
Digital Audio Signals
The TV is able to decode Dolby Digital signals, PCM
Digital Audio Signals and MPEG Audio signals.
Other types of digital audio such as MP3 Audio and
DTS Audio, as provided by some digital recording
devices, cannot be decoded by the TV.
The TV may not be able to pass incompatible digital
audio signals on the coaxial digital audio output,
however these signals may pass on the IEEE 1394
cable to other devices.
Digital Control Signals
Digital Control Signals, cont'd.
EIA-775 is designed for tuning devices such as
cable boxes allowing the device to send simple
graphics. However, this standard does not
allow the TV to control the cable box by IEEE
1394.
AV/C (Audio Video Control) is designed
to provide basic controls such as play, stop,
channel selection and volume, as appropriate
for the device.
HAVi (Home Audio Video Interoperablity) is
designed to handle AV/C type of control and
allows each device to "teach" the TV how to
control more than simple basic functions. The
device will inform the TV what information
and control buttons will be needed on device
specific menus so the additional functions can
be controlled. The ability of a device to "teach"
the TV how to control new functions allows the
TV to control non-traditional devices or new
types of devices not yet developed.
Some devices may be a combination of two or
more types of devices. For instance, there may
be a recording device that is also a tuning device.
Each portion of the device is called a sub-unit.
When you select a device on the Device Selection
menu that has sub-units, a pop-up menu will
appear so you can select which sub-unit section
you wish to use.
The TV is not able to control IEEE 1394 devices
that use other types of control protocols.
Incompatible digital audio, video and/or control
information will still be able to pass from one
device through the TV to another device. These
incompatible devices may not appear on the Device
Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit
NetCommand TM menu.
The TV is able to act as the control center for
IEEE 1394 audio/video devices, such as VCRs, AV
Discs, tuners, cable boxes and amplifiers that are
compatible with the following IEEE 1394 control
standards.

(or recording device) is in the Connection Section
next to the TV icon. Press the CANCEL button.
The icon for the VCR (or recording device) will
disappear from the Connection Section to confirm
the cancellation.
Copy-Protected Material
When attempting to record copy-protected and
5C protected material, the Record functions of the
NetCommand TM and IEEE 1394 systems may be
prevented or stopped.
If one of the sub-channels in a bitstream is copy-
protected, then the entire bitstream, that is, all
programs for that bitstream or channel, are similarly
copy-protected. If you have a recording that is
tagged "Record Once", NetCommand TM will not
allow another copy to be made.

NetCommand TM Controlled Peer-to-Peer Connections
What is a Peer-to-Peer
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
peer-to-peer connection is established.
For example, the TV can setup a connection
for an AV Disc or DVCR that sends a recorded
program to an IEEE 1394 monitor in another room.
NetCommand TM will establish the connection
between the two devices. Once the connection has
been established, the TV can be turned off or used
to watch another device. Recording from Ant-DTV
to a DVCR is also a peer-to-peer connection. In this
case the TV is one of the devices in the peer-to peer
connection.
Analog or traditional (non-digital) devices can not be
used for peer-to-peer connections.
Figure 1. Connection Screen
Setting up a Peer-to-Peer
Connection
(Figure 1)
A peer-to-peer connection is a current connection
and cannot be setup as a delayed connection.
To establish a peer-to-peer connection:
[] Display the Device Selection menu.
[] Switch the TV to the source device and channel
if device selects channels.
[] Press the CONNECT button.
[] The Record/Connect screen displays.
[] Select the destination device to which you want
to connect, for example, another IEEE 1394
device.
[] Select the duration of the connection (how
long you want the connection to last). The
peer-to-peer connection is immediately
established and continues for the selected
duration. When the duration is up, the peer-to-
peer connection is automatically ended.
[] Press CONNECT again to begin the peer-to-
peer connection.
Multiple peer-to-peer connections can occur
simultaneously, sometimes with the same source
device. Also, please note that peer-to-peer
connections are NOT listed on the Record List
screen.
Cancelling a Current Peer-to-
Peer Connection
When a peer-to-peer connection has been
established, you can cancel the connection by
highlighting the source device in the Device
Selection menu. Confirm that the icon for the peer-
to-peer connection is in the Connection Section
next to the TV icon. Press the CANCEL key. The
peer-to-peer connection will end and the destination
icon will be removed. If there is more than one
peer-to-peer connection, the connections will all be
canceled.

Problem Possible Solution
• When
menu, a Device is selected from the Device Selection the screen is blue (no signal source).
The Device does not respond to key presses from the
remote.
• The A/V Receiver is the selected audio source but
there is no sound.
• The TV Speaker icon or A/V Receiver icon is grayed
out and not selectable.
• Devices are grayed out in the Device Selection menu
or the PIP Selection menu.
Cannot see the A/V Receiver menu.
• Make surethe selected device is turned on.
• From the Edit NetCommandTM menu select Reviewthen
check the Reviewscreen 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 NetCommandTM menuto change the
TV Memory for the connection.
• Remotehas not been setup for NetCommandTMuse.
See the Owner's Guide.
• The incorrect manufacturer was selected during setup.
Select Change on the Edit NetCommandTMmenu and then
select the device to display the manufacturer selection.
Change ifnecessary.
• The device is not supported.
• The requested function is not supported by NetOommandTM.
Verify the function supported.
• The IR emitter is incorrectly placed. Make sure the IR
emitter isfacing the IR sensor in the device.
• The IR emitter is not plugged into the IRemitter Home
Theater Control jack,
• The IR emitter is plugged into the IR Emitter-Repeaterjack
instead ofthe IR Emitter Home Theater Control jack.
• The IR emmiter faces the TV as well as the device
causing double signals - ensure that the IR emitter
cannot send to the TV.
• Check to see if the A/V Receiver power is turned on.
After the power is turned on, redisplay the Device
Selection menu and press ENTer to allow NetCom-
mand TM to correctly select the A/V Receiver input.
• From the Edit NetCommandTMselect Review. Check
the Review screen to see if the A/V Receiver inputs for
the selected configuration match the actual
connections on the A/V Receiver. If they do not match
either change the actual connections, or select
Change on the Edit NetCommandTM menu to change the
TV memory for the connection.
• Select Change from the Edit NetCommandTM menu,
and then select the device. Once the Connection
screen is displayed, check if the audio checkbox is
selected for the TV input and/or AVR input.
• A recording is in progress requiring the use of Monitor
out. Cancel the recording to select the device.
• Digital devices (Ant-DTV and 1394 devices) and
devices with scanning rate of 480p or 1080i can not
display in the PIP or POR
• Normally, the A/V Receiver is not connected to any
input of the TV. To check the A/V Receiver menu,
temporarily plug into an unused input of the TV. Then
after selecting Review from the Edit NetCommand TM
menu, turn the input On to view the A/V Receiver
menu.
