Connecting External Devices & NetCommand TM Setup
NetCommand TM is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals
from the TV to each device. NetCommand TM will also automatically switch the TV and compatible Audio/
Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input used with each device. It is important that the inputs on the TV
and AV Receiver match the NetCommand TM Setup.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand TM, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand TM Setup
procedure. This procedure details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV. The
NetCommand TM Setup also assigns preset TV and AV Receiver inputs for each device. You should
connect each device to the TV input (both audio and video) and to the AV Receiver (audio) as shown in
Figure 1.
