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:

±

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 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 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 jacks.

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.

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 place 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.
