Initial NetCommand® Setup

What You Need to Know About NetCommand

• NetCommand setup is optional.
• NetCommand operates by sending signals from the

TV to your other devices via the IR emitters, telling the
devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume,
change channels and many more functions. All this
is accomplished with the TV’s remote control and the
slide switch left in the

TV position.

• The IR “Learning” feature of NetCommand allows the

TV to learn the remote control signals for your A/V
devices.

• NetCommand® can control IEEE 1394 devices by

sending control signals over a FireWire® cable.

• You can choose the level of NetCommand control for

your home theater.

Limited Setup. Perform a limited setup if you:

Want NetCommand to control only a few

devices, such as the TV, a playback device
(like a DVD player), and a cable box. With this
setup, you can use the TV’s remote control to
operate these devices.

Want to use TV Guide On Screen® to control

your cable box and VCR and/or A/V disc.
After performing this setup, you can use the
TV’s remote control to operate these devices.

Want the ease and flexibility of NetCommand-

controlled recording, with seamless setup of
time-delayed or immediate recordings among
networked devices.

Full Setup. Perform a full setup if you want to

give NetCommand the following additonal control:

Control a surround sound A/V receiver.
Automatically change input selections for the

A/V receiver.
