This is helpful if you have two or three RCA TVs near each other, and they also have this menu option, but you want to control them independent of each other. Program a second RCA TV to the DVD, VCR, AUX, SAT/CABLE, or AUDIO component button, using the TV2 code 1222. Select the TV2 option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. If you have a third RCA TV, program a component button using the TV3 code 1223. Select the TV3 option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. Go to Chapter 2 for more information on programming your remote.
Ethernet Setup
If you have a NAT (Network Address Translation)/PAT (Port Address Translation) component with DHCP capability (router, etc.), no setup is required. The TV automatically sets itself up for Ethernet use. If you do not have a NAT/PAT router, you may need to establish some settings in conjunction with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) before you can connect to the Internet. See Ethernet connection on page 22 for more information.
If an IP address isn’t assigned for you, contact your network administrator to access the necessary information.
