Using NetCommand HDMI Control

As an example of using NetCommand for HDMI devices, you would press PLAY on the device itself to:

•Turn on the TV if not already on

•Switch to the device (no need to display the Input Selection menu)

•Begin play of the device

Test your equipment with the TV’s remote control to find out which commands are supported. See the table below for commands that may be available, depending on the individual device.

CEC-enabled VCR, DVD, and DVR functions that may be available:

Record/	Menu	Channel Tuning		Other
Playback	Navigation
		CH	/	Guide
	Enter		—	F1 (content)*
	—	Digits 0–9, CANCEL
			ENTER	MENU
	CANCEL
	(to cancel)

*The F1 key defaults to work like the device’s LIST key.

If you have a CEC-enabled A/V receiver, CEC-enabled devices connected to the A/V receiver with an HDMI cable may also be controllable. They can be selected from the TV’s Input Selection menu.

CEC-enabled A/V receiver functions that may be available:

•Try the VOL, MUTE, and menu-navigation keys.

•To open the A/V receiver menu, follow these steps:

1.While watching TV, press AUDIO.

2.Press repeatedly until the Speakers option displays.

3.While Speakers is still displayed, press MENU.

You can use NetCommand IR “learning” to add com- mands to those supported by CEC. You must first connect and place IR emitters for the devices.
