For additional control options

for your home theater system,

set up the TheaterNet on-

screen device control feature.

You can use this feature to

control many IR remote-

controlled devices and

IEEE1394 devices using the

on-screen control icons.

See pages 45–49 for details on

setting up and using TheaterNet.

See pages 22–24 for details on

connecting IEEE1394 devices.

You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-through)

to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-

controlled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared remote-controlled

VCR or DVD player) enclosed within an entertainment center

or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device

typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

You will need:

±

one dual-wand IR blaster cable (included with your TV)

±

other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)

to the TV (see pages 13–20)

To connect the IR blaster cable:

1.

Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This

sensor is marked on some devices.*

2.

Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1 inch away

from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and

attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a

second device, attach the second wand in a similar manner.

(See illustration at right.)

Note:

If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand

with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.

3.

Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into one of the TV’s

TheaterNet OUT terminals.

Controlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass-through)

To control the device(s):

Point the TV remote control

(programmed to operate the

device; see Chapter 3) or the

device’s remote control at the front

of the TV and press the button for

the desired function. The signal

passes from the remote control

through the TV to the device via

the IR blaster cable.

Note:

•

If you use the device’s remote

control to operate the device, you

also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate the TV.

•

For additional control options, see “TheaterNet on-screen device

control” at right.

on-screen device control

Note:

The TheaterNet on-screen icons are the only device functions

available when the icons are on-screen. To access other device

functions, close the TheaterNet icon window.

*

If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:

1.

Turn OFF the device.

2. Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place the end of the

device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the

front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote

control for this step.)

3.

If the device turns on, the point at which the remote control touched

the device is the location of the sensor.

4. If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the

right and press POWER again.

5. Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared sensor.
