A double IR Emitter cable is included with models
WD-52527 and WD-62527. A Quadruple IR Emitter cable is
included with models WD-52528 and WD-62528.
The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetCommand system 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,
along side 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
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.

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.
Hold the remote about 1/2 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
1 inch toward the center and try again. Repeat this
until the device responds. Note this location 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 will work 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.
