Connecting External Devices & NetCommand® Setup

NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V receiver back panels match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.

To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure in this chapter, which details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. 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.

The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V receiver. Chart 1 shows TV inputs.

Chart 2 shows the A/V receiver inputs used by A/V receiver models already known by NetCommand.

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