Operating NetCommand-Controlled Devices, continued
Several varieties of A/V receiver control are described
here using the Inputs > AV Receiver menu, shown on
this page.
Controlling power and volume is described on this •
page.
For most equipment setups, see “A/V Receiver •
Control: Automatic Audio Switching” on the next
page.
If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, you have •
the option of sending both audio and video through
the A/V receiver over a single HDMI cable to the TV.

1 The Learn column lists “learna ble” keys on the
A/V receiver’s remote control.
2 A check mark next to a key name indicates it
has been “learned” by NetCommand.
3 Input1 through Input5 are arbitrary names the
TV uses to uniquely identify A/V receiver inputs.
4
After “learning” IR codes for A/V receiver inputs,
use the Assign Input column to identify the device
connected to the associated A/V receiver input.
For example, if you “learned” the A/V receiver’s
TV audio input as Input1, select TV Audio from
the Assign Input1 column. Likewise, if you
“learned” the A/V receiver’s DVD input as Input2,
select DVD in the Assign Input2 column
.
