Several varieties of A/V receiver control are described
here using the

Inputs > AV Receiver menu, shown on

this page.

Controlling power and volume is described on this

Control: Automatic Audio Switching” on the next
page.
If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, you have

the option of sending both audio and video through
the A/V receiver over a single HDMI cable to the TV.
See “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Video and
Audio Switching via HDMI,” page 60.

Setting Up NetCommand Control of an A/V Receiver

A/V Receiver Control: Power and Volume

Perform this setup to operate the A/V receiver’s power
and volume functions with the TV’s remote control.

To perform this setup you need:

The remote controls for both the TV and the

•

A/V receiver.
The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•

Before You Begin

Connect your A/V receiver to the TV and any addi-

tional devices. See chapter 3, “TV Connections,”
for suggestions.

Important: You must connect the

A/V receiver to the TV’s audio output; use the TV’s
AVR AUDIO OUTPUT or DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
jack.
Connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and position

the IR emitter where it can send signals to the A/V
receiver. See “IR Emitter Placement,” page 52.
Set the

TV’s remote control slide switch to the TV

position and power on the TV if not already on.

Setup to Control A/V Receiver Power and Volume

Open the

AV Receiver screen in one of two ways:

If using the

•

Auto Output Sensing screen for

the A/V receiver, highlight the

Learn icon and

press

ENTER to open the AV Receiver screen.

If performing NetCommand setup at any time

•

after the A/V receiver has been recognized
through Auto Output Sensing:
Press

MENU, highlight Inputs, and highlight AV

Receiver to open the AV Receiver screen.

The first function highlighted in the

AV Receiver

Power On. Aim the TV’s remote

AV Receiver menu overview

1 The Learn column lists “learnable” keys on the

A/V receiver’s remote control.

2 A check mark next to a key name indicates it

has been “learned” by NetCommand.

3 Input1 through Input5 are arbitrary names the

TV uses to uniquely identify A/V receiver inputs.

4 After “learning” IR codes for A/V receiver inputs,

use the

Assign Input column to identify the device

connected to the associated A/V receiver input.
For example, if you “learned” the A/V receiver’s
TV audio input as

Input1, select TV Audio from

the

Assign Input1 column. Likewise, if you

“learned” the A/V receiver’s DVD input as

Input2,

select

DVD in the Assign Input2 column.
