If you selected “None” for a device type during initial
setup, you can later add a device with this screen. This
screen also opens when you select the Change option in
the Edit NetCommand screen.
The sample screens here show the choices for adding a
VCR; similar screens will appear for any satellite receiver,
DVD player, or cable box.
Figure 16. [Device] screen
Our examples show the choices for adding a VCR,
however, the same type of screens will appear for any
DBS (Satellite receiver), DVD player or Cable Box.
Choose ONE of these options:
• Select a recognized manufacturer. The model number
optimized for NetCommand will display at the bottom
of the screen. If a number follows the manufacturer’s
name, (example: Mitsubishi 1), this indicates additional
models are optimized for that manufacturer. For many
device types, non-listed models will operate in the
same way as the listed models and you can still use
the pre-loaded setting.
After selecting Next>, the screens that follow are: the
Name Screen (Figure 19), Connection for [Device] screen
(Figure 20) and specialized device screens (Figures
21–23), ending with the Finish screen (Figure 26).
• Select “Other,” then highlight “Learn” and press ENTER.
This will allow you to have NetCommand learn the
remote control signals of this new device.
After selecting “Learn” and pressing ENTER, the
screens that follow are: [Device] Learn screen (Figure
17), [Device] Advanced Learn screen (Figure 18), Name
screen (Figure 19), Connection for [Device] screen
(Figure 20), and specialized device screens (Figures
21–23), ending with the Finish screen (Figure 26).
• Select “Other,” skip Learn and select Next>. This will
allow the device to appear and will allow NetCommand
to switch inputs to use this device. However,
NetCommand will not be able to control this device.
Later you may use the “Change” option in the Setup
menu to learn the remote control signals.

press the button that corresponds to the selected
function. A check mark will appear and the function
name will stop flashing. This confirms the signal
learned status.

on the remote control while the learned function is still
highlighted. The device should perform the selected
function. The device needs to be turned on and the IR
emitters properly placed for the test to be successful
(see page 30 for IR emitter placement). If the
functions are not learned the first time, try Learn again.
5. Repeat for each function to be learned.
6. To erase a learned function, highlight the check box
for that function and press CANCEL.
7. When the function signals have been learned, press
ADJUST to select Next> and move to the [Device]
Advanced Learn screen.
Hint: If the device’s remote control uses a single button
for both Power On and Power Off, don’t learn the Power
Off function.
IMPORTANT
When learning the device’s remote control
signals, point the device’s remote control at
the display.
If close to the screen, see page 10
for the location of the Learning IR sensor.
