IMPORTANT
All audio from what you are watching on the
TV is always available from both the TV’s AVR
AUDIO OUTPUT and DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
jacks.
To use the digital surround sound capabilities
of your A/V receiver however, you must connect
your DVD player, satellite receiver, or cable box
directly to the A/V receiver, as surround sound
may not be available from the TV’s audio output.
Before You Begin
Connect your A/V devices to the TV and connect
1.
your A/V receiver to the audio outputs on the TV
and the DVD player. See chapter 3, “TV Connec-
tions,” for suggestions.
Important:
To use Setup
1, you must connect the A/V receiver to the TV’s
audio output; i.e., the TV’s
AVR AUDIO OUTPUT
or
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
jack.
Position NetCommand IR emitters as described in

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

column to identify the device
connected to the TV and the associated A/V
receiver input.
To summarize for the given example:
Connect the TV’s audio output to the A/V receiver’s

TV audio input.
Using this screen, “learn” the IR code for the A/V
2.
receiver’s TV audio input as
Input1
(item 3 above).
In the
3.
Assign Input1
column (item 4 above), assign
the name
TV Audio
(the default) to the A/V receiver
IR code previously learned as
Input1
.
Connect the DVD player’s audio output to the A/V
4.
receiver’s DVD input.
Using this screen, “learn” the IR code for the A/V
5.
receiver’s DVD audio input as
Input2
.
In the

column, assign the name
DVD
to the A/V receiver IR code previously learned as
Input2
in this screen.
