Initial NetCommand® Setup, continued
Name you select | NetCommand |
for the device | “Learn” button |
Figure 8. Highlight the Auto Input Sensing screen’s Learn button and press ENTER to open the NetCommand Learn screen.
Figure 9. In the NetCommand Learn screen, you tell the TV to remember key commands to send to another device via an IR emitter.
6.When the Power (On) text starts flashing, aim the device’s remote control at the TV’s IR Learning sensor (on TV’s Front Control Panel) and press and hold the POWER key until a check mark appears in the box.
If the device has no POWER OFF key, skip this step.
By completing “learning” for the power keys, the TV’s remote control now operates the power function for the device when you set it as the current viewing device in the Input Selection menu. To control the device, point the remote control at the primary IR sensor (bottom left corner of TV). Close the front control panel cover after NetCommand “learning” is complete.
7.Press the keys on the TV’s remote control to highlight other keys on the list. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional function you wish to control through NetCommand.
8.If the device’s remote control has keys that do not appear in the list, you can associate up to four keys with the F1 through F4 keys. For example, for a DVD player, assign the F1 and F2 keys to the DVD player’s CHAPTER SKIP FORWARD and CHAPTER SKIP BACK keys. Perform NetCommand setup for the F keys the same as you did for the named keys.
9.Press EXIT to continue with setup for additional devices.
IMPORTANT
INPUT 3 is automatically reset each time you unplug a device.
Any NetCommand “learning” you may have performed for a device connected to INPUT 3 is lost when you disconnect the device.
