Using Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)
Use Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to control all external devices that support HDMI-CEC using just the TV's
remote control. Note that Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) only works with the TV's remote control and not with
the panel keys.
"You can configure the TV's universal remote function to control - using the TV's remote control -
third-party cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and home theaters that do not support HDMI-CEC. Refer to
the "Controlling External Devices with the TV Remote - Using the Universal Remote" section for more
information.
"Anynet+ cannot be used to control external devices that do not support HDMI-CEC.
"Anynet+ devices must be connected to the TV using an HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables may not support
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). In this case, you will need to replace the HDMI cable.
"The TV remote control may not function under certain circumstances. If this occurs, select the Anynet+
device again.
"Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) only works with external devices that support HDMI-CEC and only when those
devices are either in standby mode or turned on.
"Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control up to 12 compatible external devices (up to 3 of the same type). With
home theater systems, however, the number of systems that can be controlled is limited to one.
"To listen to 5.1-channel audio from an external device, connect the device to the TV via an HDMI cable and
the device's digital audio output connector directly to the home theater system.
"A home theater system that has been connected to the TV using an HDMI cable and an optical cable
