IR Emitter Placement

An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.

The NetCommand system uses emitters connected

to the

IR—NetCommand Output jack to control other

devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite

receivers, and VCRs.

Connect the plug end of the supplied IR emitter

cable to the

IR—NetCommand Output jack on the

TV back panel.

Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under,

alongside, or over each device to be controlled so
that the emitter end is in front of the area where the
remote control sensor is located.
Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing

the remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared
light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far
enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern
to reach the sensor.

The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window

of the front display panel. It is sometimes visible
with the aid of a flashlight and is normally a round
or square cutout behind the plastic.
If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s
Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, you
can find it by following these steps using the
device’s remote control:

Hold the device’s remote about one-half inch

from the front of the device. Starting from one

end of the display window plastic, press the
POWER button.
If the device does not respond, move the

remote control one inch toward the center and
try again.
Repeat this until the device responds.

Note this location and then start over from the

other end of the display window plastic, repeat-
ing until the device responds again.

The remote control sensor is somewhere

between these two positions. This is usually

enough accuracy for placement of the IR emit-
ters.
In some cases, the emitter works better facing
downward from the top of the device. Experi-

ment to find what works best.

Secure the emitter ends in place using double-

sided tape.
Place any unused ends behind the devices to

prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

Place IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the IR
sensor on each device.

IMPORTANT

Position IR emitters so that each device’s
sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter.
Otherwise, a device receiving signals from
multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters)
may not respond at all.

To perform this procedure, you need:

The remote controls for both the TV and the

•

device you want to control.
The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•

Note: To set up an A/V receiver, see “Set Up NetCom-

mand Control of an A/V Receiver” later in this
chapter.

Connect and position the IR emitters for the

devices you wish to control. See “IR Emitter Place-
ment” on the opposite page.
Set the

TV’s remote control slide switch to the TV

position and power on the TV if needed.
Open the NetCommand

Learn screen in one of two

ways:

If working from the

•

Auto Input Sensing screen

for the device, highlight the

Learn icon and

press

ENTER to open the Learn screen for the

device.
If performing NetCommand setup at any time

•

after the device has been recognized through
Auto Input Sensing:
a. Press INPUT to open the Input Selection

menu.

b. Highlight the desired input icon and press

ENTER to switch to that input.

c. Press MENU, highlight Inputs, and highlight

Learn to open the Inputs > Learn screen
for the device.

The first function highlighted in the

Learn screen

is always

Power On. Aim the TV’s remote control

at the TV and press

ENTER to begin learning for that

function.
When the

Power On text starts flashing, aim the

device’s remote control at the TV and press and
hold the

POWER key until a check mark appears next

Power On.

If the text stops flashing before the check mark

•

appears, repeat the previous step.
To remove the key from NetCommand control,

•

press the

CANCEL key while the key name is

highlighted.

Press the

keys on the

TV’s remote control

to highlight other keys on the list. Repeat steps
4 and 5 for each additional function you wish to
control through NetCommand.
If the device’s remote control has keys that are not

in the list, you can associate up to any four keys
with the

F1 through F4 keys. Perform NetCommand

setup for the

F keys the same way you did for the

named keys

. For example, you can:

Assign your DVD player’s

•

CHAPTER SKIP FORWARD and

CHAPTER SKIP BACK keys to F1 and F2.

“Learn” your A/V receiver’s DSP options for the

•

current device.

If the device has a separate

POWER OFF key, press

on the

TV’s remote to highlight Power Off.

Repeat the earlier steps to “learn” the

POWER OFF key.

If the device has no POWER OFF key, skip this step.
Press

EXIT to finish NetCommand “learning” for the

current device.

From the Auto Input Sensing screen, highlight the Learn
icon and press ENTER to open the NetCommand Learn
screen.
