Auto Input Sensing for Most Devices
When you first connect a device, the TV will:
a. Detect the connected device and automati-
cally switch to it.
b. Prompt you to identify the device type.
c. Repeat these steps for other newly detected
devices.
When You First Connect a Device
• Most Device Types. Select the device type from
the on-screen list. The device type you select here
will appear as an icon in the
Input Selection menu.
• A/V Receiver. For an HDMI-equipped A/V
receiver, select
AVR from the list of device types if
the A/V receiver is not recognized automatically.
• HDMI CEC Devices Compatible with the
TV’s HDMI Control Feature. Compatible
CEC-enabled HDMI-equipped devices are often
recognized automatically by the TV. HDMI Control
may allow you to control some functions of a CEC-
enabled device. See Appendix C, “HDMI Control
of CEC Devices.”
New Device Found screen for a device with HDMI
control enabled. Select On if you want to enable the
TV’s HDMI control of the device. In some cases, as
in the example above, you will also be prompted to
select a device name.
Tips on Auto Sensing
• Choose a different name for each input.
• The antenna input (
ANT) is never detected,
although you can turn off the unused antenna
input in the
Inputs > Name menu.
• Change the device type displayed in the Input
Selection menu by using the Inputs > Name
menu (page 59).
• Some HDMI devices can automatically tell the TV
what name to use in the Input Selection menu
and you will be unable to change the name.
• The TV is unable to detect a new connection if
the current input is USB, Bluetooth® (838 Series),
or internet. Switch to a different input before
connecting.
• 838 series. Any “learned” NetCommand IR
codes will be erased if you change the device
type in the
Inputs > Name menu.
Reactivating Auto Input Sensing
for an HDMI Input
After you disconnect an HDMI device, Auto Input
Sensing is temporarily disabled for that HDMI jack.
Perform these steps:
1. Disconnect the HDMI device.
2. Delete the removed HDMI device in the Inputs >
Name menu (see “Removing an HDMI Device,”
page 87).
3. Connect the new device and the New Device
Found screen will display.
