Chapter 6: Setting up your TV

Setting up and using TheaterNetª on-screen device control

The TheaterNet feature allows you to control many brands of IEEE1394 and/or infrared remote-controlled A/V devices through your TV using on-screen control icons and the TV’s remote control.

Note:

Although the TheaterNet on-screen device control feature includes codes for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the features on certain devices you wish to control. If you are unable to program the TheaterNet feature to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s remote control or the controls on the device.

For IR pass-through device control information, see “Connecting a device to the TheaterNet OUT infrared terminal” on page 22.

Setting up TheaterNet

All device types except IEEE1394 require the following setup process before you can control them using the TheaterNet on-screen icons.

All compatible IEEE1394 devices are automatically recognized by the TheaterNet feature and do not require setup.

Note: See page 25 for details about the IEEE1394 ports. If your IEEE1394 device is not recognized through the IEEE1394 port or through the TheaterNet feature, it may be possible to set it up for IR pass-through control as an infrared device (see page 22).

1.Make sure you have properly connected your infrared remote-controlled device(s). See pages 22 and 25 for details.
