NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the TV
to each device. NetCommand is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not
already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand will also automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio/Video
(A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV and A/V Receiver
match the NetCommand Setup.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand Setup procedure. This
procedure details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also assigns
preset TV and A/V Receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both audio and
video) and to the A/V Receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.
After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to Edit NetCommand at any time to change the inputs you used for
connecting each device, custom name devices, add devices not included in the presets above or delete devices no
longer used. See Editing NetCommand Setup later in this chapter. See Connection Helpful Hints, inside back cover,
for additional information.
The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V Receiver. Chart 1 shows TV inputs.
Chart 2 shows the A/V Receiver inputs used by A/V Receiver models already known by NetCommand.
