Connecting the IR Emitter NetCommand
®
If a single emitter end can be placed in a
position that will operate more than one device,
do not use a separate emitter end for the
additional device. A single device receiving
remote control signals from too many emitters
or remote controls may not respond at all.
IMPORTANT
IR Emitter NetCommand®
Figure 15
An IR emitter cable is included with the TV.
The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetCommand system and by TV Guide On Screen® to
control other devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Cable
boxes and Satellite receivers.
1. Connect the plug end of the supplied IR Emitter
Cable to either one of the IR Output NetCommand
jacks on the TV back panel.
2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under,
alongside, or over the top of each device to be
controlled to the area of the front where the remote
control sensor is located.
3. Place the emitter end in front of the remote control
sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter
bulb should face the remote control sensor. This
bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern.
The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the
remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to
include the sensor.
The remote control sensor is usually behind the
plastic window of the front display panel. It is
sometimes visible when you look through the display
plastic using 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 using the
device’s remote control.
a. Hold the remote about one-half inch from the
front of the device. Starting from one end of the
display window plastic, press the POWER button.
b. If the device does not respond, move the remote
control one inch toward the center and try again.
c. Repeat this until the device responds.
d. Note this location and then start over from the
other end of the display window plastic, repeating
until the device responds again.
The remote control sensor will be somewhere
between these two positions. This is usually
enough accuracy for the placement of the IR
emitters.
• With some devices, the emitter works better facing
downward from the top of the device. Some
experimentation may be needed.
• The emitter end being used can be secured in place
using double stick tape.
• If you are not going to
be using all emitter ends, place
the unused ends behind the devices so that they
cannot send signals to the remote control sensors.
