Select the remote mode that this TV should respond to: TV (default)

TV3

Use this screen if you want to set up this RCA TV to respond to a different RCA TV remote mode. By doing so, you can independently control two RCA

TVs that are near each other simply by changing the mode of the remote. A third RCA TV can be added to the

same location and controlled separately if it has this screen and is set up to respond to a remote mode that is different than the first two RCA TVs.

Remote Setup can be used to control up to three TV's in the same location. Press OK to continue.

Remote Setup Allows you to control three different RCA TVs. This is helpful if you have two or three RCA TVs near each other, and they also have this menu option, but you want to control them independent of each other. Program a second RCA TV to any component button, such as DVD or AUX, using the TV2 code 1222. Then select the TV2 option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. If you have a third RCA TV, program a component button using the TV3 code 1223. Then select the TV3 option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. Go to Chapter 2 for more information on programming your remote.

Main Menu Connections Ethernet Setup

Some Internet Service Providers (phone/cable company) may require you to provide them with your TV's Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address and assign you with a device host name to enter below. This is usually NOT required if connecting to an ISP through an Ethernet gateway device (e.g. router) supporting NAT/PAT, sometimes referred to as a DSL/Cable Modem router.

This is your device's MAC address: 00 11 22 33 44 55

If your Ethernet gateway device supports DHCP, the Domain Name will appear here: domain.name.here.

If required, enter the device hose name below:

Use the keyboard or the remote's arrow keys to enter the host name. This may be the only setup you need to do.

Ethernet Setup

An Ethernet connection allows your TV to be upgraded if a software upgrade is available. Connect your TV to a router and cable modem via the ETHERNET jack. Then, go to the Software Upgrade menu to see if a software upgrade is available. If you have a NAT (Network Address Translation) /PAT (Port Address Translation) component with DHCP capability (router, etc.), no setup is required. The TV automatically sets itself up for Ethernet use. If you do not have a NAT/PAT router, you may need to establish some settings in conjunction with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) before you can connect to the Internet.

If an IP address isn’t assigned for you, contact your network administrator to access the necessary information.

A Reset All selection is provided for your convenience if you move to another city and must enter new information, or enter some incorrect information.
