Main Menu Connections Special Features
Remote Setup can be used to control up to three TV's in the
same location. Press OK to continue.
Select the remote mode that this TV should respond to:
Use this screen if you want to set up this RCA TV
to respond to a different RCA TV remote mode. By
doing so, you can independently control two RCA
TVs that are near each other simply by changing the mode
of the remote. A third RCA TV can be added to the
same location and controlled separately if it has this screen
and is set up to respond to a remote mode that is different
than the first two RCA TVs.

Remote Setup This features allows you to control three different RCA TVs.
This is helpful if you have two or three RCA TVs near each other, and they
also have this menu option, but you want to control them independent of
each other. Program a second RCA TV to the DVD, VCR, AUX, SAT/CABLE,
or AUDIO component button, using the TV2 code 1222. Select the TV2
option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. If you have a third RCA TV,
program a component button using the TV3 code 1223. Select the TV3
option in that TV’s Remote Setup menu. Go to Chapter 2 for more
information on programming your remote.
Ethernet Setup
An Ethernet connection allows your TV to be upgraded if a software upgrade is
available. Connect your TV to a router and cable modem via the ETHERNET
jack. Then, go to the Software Upgrade menu to see if a software upgrade is
available. If you have a NAT (Network Address Translation) /PAT (Port Address
Translation) component with DHCP capability (router, etc.), no setup is
required. The TV automatically sets itself up for Ethernet use. If you do not have
a NAT/PAT router, you may need to establish some settings in conjunction with
your ISP (Internet Service Provider) before you can connect to the Internet.
If an IP address isn’t assigned for you, contact your network administrator for
the necessary information.
A Reset All selection is provided for your convenience if you move to another
city and must enter new information, or enter some incorrect information.
