Auto Output Sensing

This TV’s Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing feature detects most connections automatically. The excep- tions are:

•A connection on the ANT input

•An HDMI device that is powered off. Power on the device to ensure detection.

Auto Sensing for Most Devices

When you first connect a device, the TV will:

a.Detect the connected device and automatically switch to it.

b.Prompt you to identify the device type.

c.153 and 249 Series. Prompt you to perform NetCommand set-up for the device, if available.

d.Repeat these steps for any other newly detected devices.

When You First Connect a Device

•Most Device Types. Select the device type from the on-screen list. The device type you select here will appear as a device icon in the Activity menu.

•A/V Receiver

-- The TV detects audio connections on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack and the right (red) AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

-- For an HDMI A/V receiver, select AVR from the list of device types if the A/V receiver is not recognized automatically.

•HDMI CEC Devices Compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control Feature. Compatible CEC- enabled HDMI devices are often recognized auto- matically by the TV. HDMI Control may allow you to control some functions of a CEC-enabled device. See Appendix B, “HDMI Control of CEC Devices.”

New Device Found screen for a device with HDMI control enabled. Select On to enable the TV’s CEC control of the device. In some cases, as in the example above, you will also be prompted to select a device name.

Tips on Auto Sensing

•Choose a different name for each input.

•The antenna input (ANT) is never detected, although you can turn off the unused antenna input in the Inputs > Name menu.

•Change the device type displayed in the Activity menu in the Inputs > Name menu (page 50). You must switch to a different input before changing the device type.

•153 and 249 Series. Any “learned” NetCom- mand IR codes will be erased if you change the device type in the Inputs > Name menu.

Reactivating Auto Sensing for an HDMI Input

1.Switch to any input other than the one to be dis- connected.

2.Disconnect the HDMI device.

3.Delete the removed HDMI device in the Inputs > Name menu (see “Removing an HDMI Device,” page 77).

4.Connect the new HDMI device and the New Device Found screen will display.
