NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video device s by sending remote control signals from the TV
to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the rem ote control signals used by most audio
video devices not already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand can au tomatically switch the TV and compatible or
learned Audio/Video (A/ V) Receivers to the correct input used with eac h device. It is important that the inputs on the
TV and A/V receiver back pane ls match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-scree n NetCommand Setup procedure in this
chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the T V. The NetCommand Setup also
assigns preset TV and
A/V receiver inputs for
each device. You should
connect each device to
the TV input (both audio
and video) and to the A/V
receiver (audio) as shown
in the figure below. If you
connect devices to inputs
other than the ones shown
as presets, you must
change the NetCommand
setup accordingly. See the
Edit NetCommand information starting on page 43.
The following charts show which preset inputs you should use o n the TV and A/V receiver.
Chart 1 shows the default TV inputs existing in NetComma nd.
Chart 2 shows the A/V receiver input s used by A/V receiver models already known by NetCo mmand.

After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to the NetCommand menu at any time to change th e inputs you used for
connecting each device, custom name devices, add devices not includ ed in the presets above or delete devices no
longer used. See Edit NetCommand. See Helpful Hints at t he end of this chapter for additional information on device
setup.
