IR Emitter NetCommand

The emitters connected to these jacks are used by the

NetCommand system to control other devices such as

VCR, 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.

OR ...

IR Emitter Repeater

The emitters connected to these jacks are not used by

NetCommand, but will repeat any IR command received
by the TV. These emitters allow the TV to be the remote
control sensor for other devices outside the range of the
hand-held remote control. Do not use these repeaters
with devices that can receive the remote control signal
directly, as the signals can interfere with each other.

1B. Connect the IR emitter to IR EMITTER-REPEATER

on the TV back panel.

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

After you have used 1A or 1B,

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. 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.

5. The emitter end being used can be secured in place

using double stick tape.
