Appendices 81 Appendix C: 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 Appendix C: HDMI Control of CEC Devices, continued 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. 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 Appendix C: HDMI Control of CEC Devices, continued 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 D: TV Care Cleaning Recommendations Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this is needed, please use the following guidelines: First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Occasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake grilles on the back and sides of the TV. Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
Appendices 85 Appendix E: Troubleshooting TV Reset Comparison Guide You can resolve many common TV problems using the reset functions described in the following table. See also the troubleshooting suggestions later in this appendix. IMPORTANT Before you change sound or picture settings: If picture or sound settings seem wrong for a broadcast channel (a channel from the ANT input, a cable box, or satellite receiver), first check other channels from the same input before changing settings.

Appendices Appendix E: Troubleshooting, continued TV Channels 1. Symptom Remarks The TV takes several seconds to respond to channel changes. • • • • 2. You cannot access a channel. • • • • • • 3. When ChannelView list is displayed, information appears incomplete • • • • It is normal for digital channels to take longer to tune in. Press ENTER after entering a channel number to minimize delays. Use a 4-digit number for an over-the-air digital channel.
Appendices 89 Appendix E: Troubleshooting, continued Picture Symptom Remarks 1. Picture does not look like a high-definition picture. Not all signals are high-definition signals. To receive high-definition programming from your cable or satellite provider, you must subscribe to the provider’s high-definition service. Some overthe-air broadcasts are in high-definition and can be received with a high-quality antenna suited to your location. 2. TV has sound but no picture.
Appendices Appendix E: Troubleshooting, continued Sound 1. Symptom Remarks There is no sound even when the volume is turned up. • • • • • • Check if the MUTE key is on. The TV’s analog Listen to setting may be set to SAP (analog program from the ANT input) but no SAP is being broadcast. Check that the Sound > Audio > TV Speakers option is set to On to hear sound from the TV speakers. Possibly the TV Speakers option is Off or set to Center but there is no A/V receiver connected.
Appendices 91 Appendix E: Troubleshooting, continued NetCommand IR Control (NetCommand-equipped models only) Symptom Remarks 1. • NetCommand unable to learn specific device keys. • • • • A/V Device does not use IR format for remote control signal. ITT and RF formats cannot be learned. Room lighting may affect the signal. Have the remotes very close (6 inches or less) to the TV during Learning. Some, but not all, device key functions can be learned by NetCommand.
