4. Connect the device to the TV with the supplemental
analog cables.
5. The next screen is the Auto Input Sensing screen
(see figure 6) in which you can select a name for the

will be unable to switch between the analog and
digital inputs to the TV.
• If you connect an IEEE 1394 cable box and it
is detected as CABLE in the New 1394 Device
screen, be sure to select the name CABLE as the
name for the analog input and not cablebox.

Initial NetCommand® Setup

What You Need to Know About NetCommand

• NetCommand setup is optional.
• NetCommand operates by sending signals from the
TV to your other devices via the IR emitters, telling the
devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume,
change channels and many more functions. All this
is accomplished with the TV’s remote control and the
slide switch left in the
TV
position.
• The IR “Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the TV
to learn the remote control signals for your A/V device s.
• NetCommand® can control IEEE 1394 devices by
sending control signals over a FireWire® cable.
• You can choose the level of NetCommand control for
your home theater.
Limited Se tup. Perform a limited setup if you:
Want NetCommand to control only a few
devices, such as the TV, a playback device
(like a DVD player), and a cable box. With this
setup, you can use the TV’s remote control to
operate these devices.
Want to use TV Guide On Screen® to control
your cable box and VCR and/or A/V disc.
After performing this setup, you can use the
TV’s remote control to operate these devices.
Want the ease and flexibility of NetCommand -
controlled recording, with seamless setup of
time-delayed or immediate recordings among
networked devices.
Full Setup. Per form a full setup if you want to
give NetCommand the following additional control:
Control a surround sound A /V receiver.
Automatically change input selecti ons for the
A/V receiver.

Initial NetCommand Setup for Most Device

Types

• To set up an A/V receiver, see “Additional Setup Using
the NetCommand Menu” later in this chapter.
• For setup later, or to make changes to the setup, see
“Additional Setup Using the NetCommand Menu” later
in this chapter.
1. Connect and position the IR emitters as describ ed in
chapter 2, “TV Connections.”
2. Lift the TV front cont rol panel cover. This is essen-
tial so the IR Learning sen sor is able to receive
signals from the device’s orig inal remote control.
See “Front Control Panel” in Chapter 1 for more infor-
mation.
3. Have the remote controls for the TV and the other
device ready before beginning. Set the TV remote
control’s slide switch to the
TV
position.
4 In the Auto Input sensing screen (see figure 8), high-
light the Learn button and press
ENTER
to open the
Learn screen for the device (see figure 9).
5.
The first function highlighted in the Learn screen is
always Power (On). Aim the TV’s remote control at the
TV’s external remote control sensor (bottom left co rner
of TV) and press
ENTER
to begin learning for that function.
