Figure 6. The Auto Input Sensing screen appears when a device is first detected. Select a name for the connected device in this screen.
3. Now you can either:
Highlight Learn and press ENTER to perform NetCommand “learning” for the device, if appli- cable (recommended). NetCommand “learning” can be used to control the device types checked in the preceding list. See “Initial NetCommand Setup” later in this chapter. You can perform NetCommand setup at a later time, if preferred, by using the Learn option in the NetCommand menu.
Press EXIT to close the screen. The TV will display the Auto Input Sensing screen for the next con- nection it finds.
Note: To continue with NetCommand setup for the cur- rent device:
•You must lift the TV front control panel cover so the IR Learning sensor is able to receive signals from the device’s original remote control. See chapter 1, “Front Control Panel.”
•You must have connected and properly placed NetCommand IR emitters (see chapter 2, “TV Connections”).
•You must have at hand the remote controls for the TV and the current device.
More About Auto Input Sensing
•Be careful to choose a different name for each input.
•You can change the input name at a later time using the Input Name menu.
•If you disconnect a device and then later connect a different device to the vacated jack, use the Input Name menu to update the device name. If you want the device under NetCommand control, you must perform NetCommand “learning” for the new device.
•If you change a device name and then exit all menus, A/V memory is reset to the factory default setting and all NetCommand learning is erased.
•Antenna inputs (ANT 1/ ANT 2), audio connections, and TV outputs are never detected.
IEEE 1394 Connections
The New 1394 Device screen appears if you connected an IEEE 1394 device. See figure 7. IEEE 1394 devices are automatically under NetCommand control. The TV can recognize up to seven IEEE 1394 devices at one time. If you connect more than one device of the same type, a unique identifier is added to the name for each one. For example, if you connect three A/V discs, you may see AV Disc, AV Disc1, AV Disc2.
Figure 7. The New 1394 Device screen shows the device name and includes a check box for an associated analog connection.
IEEE 1394 Device with an Analog Connection
Some IEEE 1394 devices have both digital and analog outputs to the TV. If you have such a device, place a check mark in the Analog Connection check box to allow you to use the TV’s Input Selection menu to select either the analog or digital output.
For instructions on switching between analog and digital outputs, see chapter 6, “NetCommand Operations.”
If your IEEE 1394 device can be connected to the TV with an analog connection, follow the instructions below.
