NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the “Learn” Feature.
Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite receivers will not have compatible digital control signals or require the use of the device’s own remote control. Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display
1.Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device’s remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 27).
2.On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 49) check mark the Analog Connection check box.
3.Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 50) of cable box, DBS or similar tuning device.
4.Select “Other” as a manufacturer and then highlight “Learn” and press ENTER on the Device screen (Figure 4, page 50).
5.Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
6.The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 50) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the correct inputs. If analog connections are not used, uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV and AVR inputs.
7. Proceed with the Finish screen.
This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices.
Note: When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections, the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice. The first press of GUIDE will display the TV’s digital channel guide. The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available.
