IR Emitter Placement (NetCommand)

An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to the IR EMITTER jack to control other devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs.

1. Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter

cable to the IR EMITTER NetCommand® jack on the

TV back panel.

2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under,

alongside, or over each device to be controlled so

that the emitter end is in front of the area where the

remote control sensor is located.

The remote control sensor is somewhere between these two positions. This is usually enough accuracy for placement of the IR emit- ters.

In some cases, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Experi- ment to find what works best.

4.Secure the emitter ends in place using double- sided tape.

5.Place any unused ends behind the devices to

prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors. C

3. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing

the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared

light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far

enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern

to reach the sensor.

The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window

of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible

with the aid of a flashlight and is normally a round

or square cutout behind the plastic.

If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s

Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, you

can find it by following these steps using the

device’s remote control:

a. Hold the device’s remote about one-half inch

from the front of the device. Starting from one

end of the display window plastic, press the

POWER button.

b. If the device does not respond, move the

remote control one inch toward the center and

try again.

c. Repeat this until the device responds.

d. Note this location and then start over from the

other end of the display window plastic, repeat-

ing until the device responds again.

Place IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the IR sensor on each device.

IMPORTANT

Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all.
