column lists “learnable” keys on the
A/V receiver’s remote control.
2
A check mark next to a key name indicates it
has been “learned” by NetCommand.

Input1 through Input5 are arbitrary names the
TV uses to uniquely identify A/V receiver inputs.

After “learning” IR codes for A/V receiver inputs,
use the
Assign Input

connected to the associated A/V receiver input.
For example, if you “learned” the A/V receiver’s
TV audio input as
Input1
, select
TV Audio

the
Assign Input1
column. Likewise, if you
“learned” the A/V receiver’s DVD input as
