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 TVÕs 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 deviceÕs remote control or the controls on the device.

¥For IR pass-through device control information, see ÒControlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass- through)Ó on page 21.

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.
