The TV may not detect an HDMI device when the device is powered off. Detection will occur when the device is next powered on.

When You First Connect a Device

•Most Device Types. Select the device type from the on-screen list. The device type you select here will appear as a device icon in the Activity menu.

•A/V Receiver

-- The TV can detect audio connections on the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack and the right (red) AVR AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

-- For an HDMI A/V receiver, select AVR from the list of device types if the A/V receiver is not recognized automatically.

•HDMI CEC Devices Compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control Feature. Compatible CEC- enabled HDMI devices are often recognized auto- matically by the TV. HDMI Control may allow you to control some functions of a CEC-enabled device. See Appendix C, “HDMI Control of CEC Devices.”

New Device Found screen for a device with HDMI control enabled. Select On to enable the TV’s CEC control of the device. In some cases, as in the example above, you will also be prompted to select a device name.

Tips on Auto Sensing

•Choose a different name for each input.

•The antenna input (ANT) is never detected, although you can turn off the unused antenna input in the Inputs > Name menu.

•Change the device type displayed in the Activity menu by using the Inputs > Name menu (page 40).

•837 series. Any “learned” NetCommand IR codes will be erased if you change the device type in the Inputs > Name menu.

Reactivating Auto Input Sensing for an HDMI Input

When you disconnect an HDMI device, Auto Input Sensing is disabled until you perform these steps.

1.Disconnect the HDMI device.

2.Delete the removed HDMI device in the Inputs > Name menu (see “Removing an HDMI Device,” page 69).

3.Connect the new device and the New Device Found screen will display.
