3 HDMI Control of CEC Devices Many newer 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. You may find that CEC functions for a specific device are limited.
3 HDMI Control of CEC Devices HDMI Control of an HDMI A/V Receiver and Connected Devices DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT L ANT 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.

Stop playback if the device starts playing.
3 HDMI Control of CEC Devices Resolving CEC Conflicts Because each manufacturer selects which CEC functions to support, some devices may 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 device itself. Refer to the device’s Owner’s Guide for instructions.
