External Devices and NetCommand® Overview

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the media center to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the media center’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch to compatible Audio/Video (A/V) devices or those that have or “learned” NetCommand settings. It is important that the inputs on the

media center and A/V receiver rear panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, step-by- step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedures are provided in Chapter 3, which includes the types and brands of devices you are connecting to the media center. NetCommand Setup also assigns preset media center and A/V receiver inputs for each device. Typically, each device is connected to the media center input (video) and to the A/V receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below. Connections will vary depending on your requirements.
