Setup
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the
TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio
video devices not already in the TV’s memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV along with compatible
or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs
on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand setup procedure in this
chapter, which details the type and brand of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also
assigns preset TV and A/V Receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both
audio and video) and to the A/V Receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.
After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to the NetCommand menu (see “Edit NetCommand”) at any time
to change the inputs you used for connecting each device, custom name devices, add devices not included in
the presets above or delete devices no longer used. See Connection Helpful Hints, at the end of this chapter for
additional information on device setup.
The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A/V Receiver.
Chart 1 shows TV inputs.
Chart 2 shows the A/V Receiver inputs used by A/V Receiver models already known by NetCommand.
