Connecting the IR Emitter NetCommand®
IR Emitter NetCommand®
Figures 14 and 15
An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.
The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to these jacks to control other devices such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes and satellite receivers.
1.Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter cable to either of the IR Emitter NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.
2.Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under, alongside, or over the top of each device to be controlled so that the emitter end is in front of the area where the remote control sensor is located.
3.Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a
The remote control sensor is usually behind the plastic window of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible when you look through the display plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, you can find it by following these steps using the device’s remote control:
a.Hold the remote about
b.If the device does not respond, move the remote control one inch toward the center and try again.
c.Repeat this until the device responds.
d.Note this location and then start over from the other end of the display window plastic, repeating until the device responds again.
The remote control sensor is somewhere between these two positions. This is usually enough accuracy for the placement of the IR emitters.
•With some devices, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Some experimentation may be needed.
•Secure the emitter ends in place using
•Place any unused ends behind the devices to prevent unnecessary signals from reaching the remote control sensors.

Figure 15. Place IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the IR sensor on each device.
IMPORTANT
Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all.
