Note: To set up an A/V receiver, see “Setting Up A/V
Receiver Control,” page 71.

Set the TV’s remote control to TV mode and power
on the TV.
NetCommand Setup
NetCommand and Device-Specific Keys
Device-specific keys are those which have no
equivalent on the TV’s remote control. Use any of
these methods to set up NetCommand control for
these keys.
• TOOLS Menu. In some cases, the TV will, by
default, assign a key to the
TOOLS menu. See
the table below.
Examples of Default NetCommand
Assignments in the TOOLS Menu
Cable Box, Sat-
ellite Receiver 3 MENU
9 ON DEMAND
DVD, DVR,
Blu-ray 3 SETUP
6 TOP MENU
9 ANGLE
VCR 3 MENU
6 INPUT
A/V Receiver 3 MENU
6 SURROUND
NetCommand’s default setup assigns some
device-specific keys to the
TOOLS menu when
“learned.” These key functions are accessible only
with the
TOOLS key.
• F Keys. There are four F keys, F1 through F4,
which you can assign to any function on the
device’s remote control. For a cable box,
“learn” the
F keys as the A, B, C, D keys.
• Arbitrary Key Assignment. You can assign a
device key arbitrarily to any “unlearned” key
on the TV’s remote control. Make a note of the
key name and function for later reference.
3. Switch the TV to the desired input to control. Press
INPUT, highlight the input icon, and press ENTER.
4. Open the NetCommand Inputs > Learn menu.
5. The first function highlighted in the Learn screen
is always Power On. Aim the TV’s remote control
at the TV and press ENTER to begin learning for that
function.
6.
When the Power On text starts flashing, aim the
device’s remote control at the TV and hold the POWER
key until a check mark appears next to
Power On.
• If the text stops flashing before the check mark
appears, repeat the previous step.
• To remove the key from NetCommand control,
press the CANCEL key while the key name is
highlighted.
• To verify the device’s response to the IR code,
press ENTER to send out the code.
Inputs > Learn screen. Key names marked with a check
have been “learned.”
Some device-specific keys, such as
MENU, are available
only from the TOOLS menu after “learning.”
7.
Use navigation keys on the TV’s remote control to
highlight other keys on the list. Repeat steps 5 and
6 for each additional function you wish to control
through NetCommand.
8. If the device has a separate POWER OFF key, use
navigation keys on the
TV’s remote to highlight
Power Off. Repeat the earlier steps to “learn” the
POWER OFF key.
If the device has no POWER OFF key, skip this step.
9. Press EXIT to finish NetCommand “learning” for the
current device.
