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 also 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 and compatible
or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on
the TV and A/V receiver back panels 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 brands 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.
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.

After using NetCommand Setup, you may go to the NetCommand menu 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
