Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
For additional control options
for your home theater system,
set up the TheaterNet on-screen
device control feature. You can
use this feature to control many
IR remote-controlled devices
and IEEE-1394 devices using
the on-screen control icons.
You can use the TV’s IR OUT jack (infrared pass-through)
to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared
remote-controlled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared
remote-controlled VCR or DVD player) enclosed within
an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the
IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be
visible to operate it remotely.
You will need:
one dual-wand IR blaster cable (included with your TV)
other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)
to the TV (see pages 13–20)
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1. Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device.
This sensor is marked on some devices.*
2. Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1 inch away
from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and
attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a
second device, attach the second wand in a similar manner.
(See illustration at right.)
Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand
with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.
3. Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into one of the TV’s
TheaterNet OUT jacks.

the desired function. The signal
passes from the remote control
through the TV to the device via
the IR blaster cable.

• If you use the device’s remote
control to operate the device, you
also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate the TV.
• For additional control options, see “TheaterNet on-screen device
control” at right.

See pages 44–48 for details on
setting up and using TheaterNet.
See pages 22–24 for details on
connecting IEEE-1394 devices.
Note: The TheaterNet icon controls are the only device functions
available when the icons are on-screen. To access other device
functions, close the TheaterNet icon window.

If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:
1. Turn OFF the device.
2. Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place the end of the
device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the
front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote
control for this step.)
3. If the device turns on, the place the remote control touched the
device is the location of the sensor.
4. If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the
right and press POWER again.
5. Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared sensor.
