desired. Program the TV’s remote control or, in
the case of an LT-40134, LT-46144, or LT-52144
model, perform NetCommand IR “lear ning” to
add functions.

More About Auto Input Sensing

• Choose a different device type name for eac h input.
• Antenna inputs (
ANT 1/ANT 2
) are never detected,
although you can turn off unused antenna input s in
the Inputs > Name menu.
• You can change the device type at a later time
using the Inputs > Name menu. Any “learned”
NetCommand IR codes will be erased, however.
• If you wish to reset an HDMI input:
1. Disconnect the HDMI device.
2. Change the name of the HDMI input to Off in
the Inputs > Name menu.
3. Connect the new device and the Auto Input

Controlling A/V Receiver Sound Volume
Although the TV detects when you connect a n A/V
receiver, you must use one of the methods below to
control sound volume from the A/ V receiver.
With a Standard T V Setup
• Recommended Method: Program the TV ’s remote
control for your A/V receiver an d enable the Audio
Lock feature. See Appendix D, “Programming the
Remote Control.”
• Program the TV’s remote control for your A/ V
receiver and set the TV remote’s slide switch to
the
AUDIO
position to control volume. Set the switch
back to the
TV
position to control the TV.
• Use the remote control that came with A/ V receiver.
With NetCommand Con trol of an A/V Receiver
(LT-40134, LT-46144, and LT-52144 model s only)
• Set up NetCommand control of the A/ V receiver’s
volume functions in the Inputs > AVR menu. The
TV’s remote will then automatically control A/ V
receiver volume. See chapter 6, “NetCommand.”
• Use any of the methods described for the standard
TV setup.
