Connection: Helpful Hints
Q My VCR (or other device) does not have two sets of stereo audio outputs; how can I connect this
device’s audio to both the TV and the A/V Receiver?
A. There are two solutions:
1. Connect the single set of stereo audio outputs to the TV only. Use the Edit NetCommand™ feature
to “Change” the setup of this device. In the Connection screen part of “Change” make sure both audio
and video for the TV input are check marked and neither the audio or the video for the AVR input
are check marked. This will allow the NetCommand™ system to use the TV outputs to transfer the
device’s audio to the A/V Receiver. See Edit NetCommand™ Setup.
2. Use RCA type “Y” splitter cables to split the device’s audio output to be connected to both the TV
and the A/V Receiver.
Q. Since I have both the TV monitor stereo audio output and TV digital audio output connected to
the same input designation on my A/V Receiver, how do I switch between analog audio and digital
audio?
A. This depends on the individual A/V Receiver. Some A/V Receivers will switch automatically to digital when a
digital audio signal is supplied so you do not need to do anything. Other A/V Receivers can be manually switched
by remote control, for these types of A/V Receivers, see the NetCommand

control of this features. Some A/V Receivers will require that you make this change on the front panel of the A/V
Receiver.
Q. The front panel of my A/V Receiver is too tall or too convex for the IR emitter signal to reach the
remote control sensor of the A/V Receiver. What can I do?
A. There are several possible solutions.
1. Mount the IR Emitter on the top, front edge of the A/V Receiver over the remote control sensor.
Use tape to secure it in place.
2. Mount the IR Emitter on the underside of the self above the A/V Receiver (if the A/V Receiver is in
a cabinet). Use double sided tape to secure it in place.
3. Some small stick-on emitters from other manufacturers may be compatible with the IR Emitter
– Home Theater jacks, these may be used instead of the supplied IR Emitters.
Q. I occasionally need to see the menu from my A/V Receiver, how can I connect it to the TV for this
purpose?
A. You can connect the video output of the A/V Receiver to an unused input on the TV. Then use the
Edit NetCommand™ to “Add” this as an “Other” device, not an A/V Receiver. On the “Connection”,
screen indicate which TV input was used and check mark the video box. Make sure the TV input audio
box and both the audio and video boxes for the AVR input are not check marked. You should also name
this device so you can easily identify it on the Device Selection Menu.
Q. I have a high denition receiver I would like to connect and it also has an S-video output I would
like to be able use as well. Is there are way to connect this receiver both ways?
A. Yes, this item will appear twice in the Device Selection Menu. Just add this unit twice, once using
the Inp-DTV and once using one of the S-video inputs. Make sure you indicate that this is the same
manufacturer for both. We suggest that you connect stereo audio outputs with the S-video to the TV
so that you do not need to use two inputs on the A/V Receiver. If this is a NetCommand™ compatible
HDTV receiver that HD or SD outputs can be switched by remote control, see the NetCommand™ Guide
Appendix for NetCommand™ control of this feature.
