Operating instructions

36 Chapter 2: Operating Your TV
The AV Connection allows you to customize the way your TV works with
other audio and video components. Full use of the system and components
will provide you with a completely integrated home theater experience.
The features you can adjust are:
• AV Network: for use with selected Mitsubishi VCR’s. The
adjustments are: Off, Basic or Active
• External Audio System: when the TV is being used with an
AV Receiver, Audio Receiver or Stereo System. The adjustments
are: Yes or No. To hear the audio through the TV speakers,
select No.
• AV Receiver at Input 1: for use when an AV receiver is
connected to Input 1, to ensure your best audio and video
performance. The adjustments are Yes or No.
• Volume Changed by AV Receiver: to vary the audio output
level from the TV to the AV Receiver using the TV’s Volume
Control, select No. If you have an AV Receiver that cannot be
controlled using a remote control, select No. Select Yes to have
the TV output a fixed audio output level to the AV Receiver.
Setting choices vary, depending on which components are connected to the
TV. Below is a chart of common combinations and the recommended settings.
