A quadruple IR Emitter cable is included with the TV.
The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
NetCommand system to control other devices such as
VCRs, DVD players, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.
1. Connect the plug end of the supplied quadruple
IR Emitter Cable to one of the IR Output
NetCommand jacks on the TV back panel.
2. Run the cable for each of the emitter ends under,
along side or over the top of each device to be
controlled to the area of the front where the remote
control sensor is located.
3. Place the emitter end in front of the remote control
sensor of the device to be controlled. The emitter
bulb should face the remote control sensor. This
bulb emits infrared light in a cone shaped pattern.
The bulb needs to be placed far enough from the
remote control sensor to allow the cone pattern to
include the sensor.
The remote control sensor is usually behind the
plastic window of the front display panel. It is
sometimes visible when you look through the display
plastic using a flashlight and is normally a round or
square cutout behind the plastic. If you cannot see
the sensor and the device’s Owner’s Guide does
not specify the location, you can find it by using the
device’s remote control. Hold the remote about 1/2
inch from the front of the device. Starting from one
end of the display window plastic, press the POWER
button.
If the device does not respond, move the remote
control 1 inch toward the center and try again.
Repeat this until the device responds. Note this
location then start over from the other end of the
display window plastic, repeating until the device
responds again. The remote control sensor will be
somewhere between these two positions. This is
usually enough accuracy for the placement of the IR
emitters.
4. With some devices, the emitter will work better
facing downward from the top of the device.
Some experimentation may be needed.
5. The emitter end being used can be secured in
place using double stick tape.
If a single emitter end can be placed in a
position that will operate more than one device,
do not use a separate emitter end for the
additional device. A single device receiving
remote control signals from too many emitters
or remote controls may not respond at all.
IMPORTANT
6. If you are not going to be using all emitter ends,
place the unused ends behind the devices so that
they cannot send signals to the remote control
sensors.
