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 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 along with compatible or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel match the NetCommand setup that is displayed
