Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

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 IEEE-1394 devices) using

the on-screen control icons.

You can use the TV

’

s IR OUT jack (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:

²

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

²

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

to the TV (see pages 12

–

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 the enclosed 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 the TV

’

s IR OUT jack.

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 pages 47

–

49) 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.
