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. See “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Video and Audio Switching via HDMI,” page 60.

Note: To set up control of other device types, see “Initial NetCommand Setup for Most Devices,” page 53.

A/V Receiver Control: Power and Volume

Perform this setup to operate the A/V receiver’s power and volume functions with the TV’s remote control.

To perform this setup you need:

•The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V receiver.

•The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

Before You Begin

1.Connect your A/V receiver to the TV and any addi- tional devices. See chapter 3, “TV Connections,” for suggestions. Important: You must connect the A/V receiver to the TV’s audio output; use the TV’s AVR AUDIO OUTPUT or DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

2.Connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and position the IR emitter where it can send signals to the A/V receiver. See “IR Emitter Placement,” page 52.

3.Set the TV’s remote control slide switch to the TV position and power on the TV if not already on.

Setup to Control A/V Receiver Power and Volume

1.Open the AV Receiver screen in one of two ways:

•If using the Auto Output Sensing screen for the A/V receiver, highlight the Learn icon and press ENTER to open the AV Receiver screen.

•If performing NetCommand setup at any time after the A/V receiver has been recognized through Auto Output Sensing:

Press MENU, highlight Inputs, and highlight AV Receiver to open the AV Receiver screen.

2.The first function highlighted in the AV Receiver screen is always Power On. Aim the TV’s remote

AV Receiver menu overview

1The Learn column lists “learnable” keys on the A/V receiver’s remote control.

2A check mark next to a key name indicates it has been “learned” by NetCommand.

3Input1 through Input5 are arbitrary names the TV uses to uniquely identify A/V receiver inputs.

4After “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.

control at the TV and press ENTER to begin learning for Power On.

3.When the Power On text starts flashing, aim the A/V receiver’s remote control at the TV and press and hold the POWER or POWER ON key until a check mark appears next to Power On.

•If the text stops flashing before the check mark appears, repeat this step.

•To remove the key from NetCommand control, press the CANCEL key while the key name is highlighted.
