IEEE 1394 Devices and NetCommand® Control
See pages 28-29 for information regarding compatible IEEE 1394 devices and connection styles. The TV is not able
to control IEEE 1394 devices that use other types of control protocols. Incompatible digital audio, video and/or
control information will still be able to pass from one device through the TV to another device on the network. These
incompatible devices may not appear on the Device Selection menu or in the Review screen of the Edit NetCommand
menu.
NetCommand Control of Digital Devices Using the “Learn” Feature.
Some IEEE 1394 devices such as cable boxes or satellite receivers will not have compatible digital control signals
or require the use of the device’s own remote control. Some of these IEEE 1394 devices will not display on-screen
information through the IEEE 1394 connection and will require using an analog connection for on-screen displays. In
many cases, to control these digital devices, the Learning feature of NetCommand can be used.
1. Place an IR Emitter for NetCommand in front of the device’s remote control sensor (see IR Emitters, page 27).
2. On the Name for 1394 Device screen (Figure 2, page 49) check mark the Analog Connection check box.
3. Select the device type on the IEEE 1394 Device Type screen (Figure 3, page 50) of cable box, DBS or similar tuning
device.
4. Select “Other” as a manufacturer and then highlight “Learn” and press ENTER on the Device screen (Figure 4, page
50).
5. Follow the device learning instructions found in Edit NetCommand section of Chapter 3.
6. The Connection screen (Figure 5, page 50) follows the learning screens. If analog connections are used, select the
correct inputs. If analog connections are not used, uncheck the audio and video connections for both the TV and AVR
inputs.
7. Proceed with the Finish screen.
This will allow NetCommand to use the learned remote control signal to control these IEEE 1394 devices.
Note:
When using the NetCommand learning feature for IEEE 1394 devices that do not have analog connections,
the GUIDE function will require pressing GUIDE twice. The first press of GUIDE will display the TV’s digital channel
guide. The second press will display the program guide for the device if an IEEE 1394 Guide is available.
