6. NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver | 57 |
Setting Up A/V Receiver Control
Power and Volume
Perform this setup to control the A/V receiver power and volume with the TV’s remote control.
To perform this setup you need:
•The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V receiver.
•An IR emitter cable (included).
Before You Begin
1.Connect your A/V receiver to the TV and any addi- tional devices. See “Setting Up TV Inputs,” page 12 and “TV Connections,” page 18.
2.Connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and position the IR emitter where it can send signals to the A/V receiver. See “IR Emitter Placement,” page 51.
3.Set the TV’s remote control to TV mode using the side button.
Setup to Control A/V Receiver Power and Volume
1.Open the Inputs > AVR screen in one of two ways:
•If using the New Device Found screen for the A/V receiver, highlight NetCommand and press ENTER to open the AVR screen.
•If performing NetCommand setup at any time after Auto Sensing:
Press MENU, highlight Inputs, and highlight AVR to open the AVR menu.
2.The first function highlighted in the AVR screen is always Power. Aim the TV’s remote control at the TV and press ENTER to begin learning for Power.
IMPORTANT
To hear audio sent from the TV to the A/V receiver, you must have:
•Physically connected the TV to the A/V receiver. Connection can be via the analog or digital audio output or over HDMI.
•Assigned the name AVR if using an HDMI A/V receiver that was not recognized automatically.
•“Learned” the IR codes for the A/V receiver inputs.
•Assigned the TV’s audio output to the correct input in the NetCommand Inputs > AVR menu.
•Selected the A/V receiver as the audio source.
Press MORE then 9 (AUDIO), then
