Setting Up TV Inputs, continued
Setup Procedure
1.Connect your devices to the TV, making note of which TV input is used for each device. See chapter 3, “TV Connections.” The TV and the devices can be either on or off when connecting.
Next perform
IR “learning” (if
First select a available). device type.
Sample Auto Input Sensing screen
2.Power on the TV if not already on. When the TV detects a connection, the Auto Input Sensing screen opens.
•Most Device Types: Specify the device type.
a.In the Auto Input Sensing screen, press 
to move through the device list to select the device type connected to the input. The device type you select here will appear as an icon in the Input Selection menu.
b.736 and 835 Series Models: To perform NetCommand “learning” after selecting the device type, highlight the Learn icon and press ENTER. See chapter “Initial NetCommand Setup for Most Devices,” page 53.
•A/V Receiver: The TV can detect audio connections on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack and the right (red) analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
736 and 835 Series Models: To perform NetCom- mand “learning” now, highlight the Learn icon in the Auto Output Sensing screen and press ENTER. See “Setting Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver,” page 57.
•HDMI Devices Compatible with the TV’s NetCommand for HDMI Feature (all models): Compatible HDMI devices with CEC enabled are often recognized automatically by the TV. After con- necting the device, you may briefly see the standard Auto Input Sensing screen shown above before the TV recognizes the device type. The TV’s remote control may operate some device functions without further setup. To add control over more functions:
-- All Models: Program the TV’s remote control to operate the device.
--736 and 835 Series Models: Perform NetCommand IR “learning” to add functions.
3.Press EXIT to close the Auto Input Sensing screen. The TV will then display the Auto Input Sensing screen for the next connection it finds.
More About Auto Input Sensing
•Choose a different name for each input.
•Antenna inputs (ANT 1/ANT 2) are never detected, although you can turn off unused antenna inputs in the Inputs > Name menu.
•You can change the device type at a later time using the
Inputs > Name menu (page 47). Any “learned” NetCom- mand IR codes will be erased, however.
Changing Devices on an HDMI Input:
1.Disconnect the HDMI device.
2.Turn off the HDMI input in the Inputs > Name menu.
3.Connect the new device and the Auto Input Sensing screen will display. If you want the device under NetCommand IR control, perform NetCom- mand “learning” for the new device.
Note for Analog A/V Receivers
When you disconnect an analog A/V receiver, be sure to manually change the Speakers setting to TV to hear sound from the TV speakers.
Controlling A/V Receiver Sound Volume
Although the TV detects when you connect an A/V receiver, you must use one of the methods below to control sound volume from the A/V receiver.
With a Standard TV Setup (all models)
•Recommended Method: Program the TV’s remote control for your A/V receiver and enable the Audio Lock feature. See Appendix C, page 65.
•Program the TV’s remote control for your A/V receiver and set the TV remote’s slide switch to the AUDIO posi- tion to control A/V receiver volume. Set the switch back to the TV position to control the TV.
•Use the remote control that came with the A/V receiver.
With an HDMI CEC-enabled A/V Receiver (all models)
The TV’s remote control may control some or all functions of the A/V receiver without further setup. Connect the A/V receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable and test the TV’s remote control with the slide switch in the TV position.
With NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver (736 and 835 series models)
•Set up NetCommand control of the A/V receiver’s volume functions in the Inputs > AVR menu. The TV’s remote will then automatically control A/V receiver volume. See page 57.
•Use any of the methods described for the standard
TV setup.
About Home-Theater Control Systems
This summary outlines the control methods available using the TV’s remote control. You may wish to use one or more of these methods for your home theater.
Case 1: The source device you want to control is connected directly to the TV
