Programming your remote control
To program your universal remote control to work with your new Insignia TV, see the table for common codes. If you have problems programming your remote or need a
dierent remote control code, visit www.insigniaproducts.com for the latest remote control code information.
Connecting a home theater system with multiple devices
We recommend that you connect
the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack
to your TV’s HDMI2 IN (ARC) jack.
In the following situations, the
HDMI cable will route Dolby
Digital audio to the AV receiver,
so you do not need to connect a
separate digital audio cable:
• When you have a game console
connected to your TV’s HDMI 1
or HDMI 3 jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable
T V connected to the
ANT/CABLE IN jack.
Note: Cable is not provided.
