Connecting External Devices & NetCommand® Setup

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV along with compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand setup procedure in this chapter, which details the type and brand of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also assigns preset TV and A/V Receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and video) and to the A/V Receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.
