Anynet+ devices must be connected to the TV using an HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables may not
support Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). In this case, you will need to replace the HDMI cable.
The TV remote panel may not function under certain circumstances. In this case, select the
Anynet+ device again.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) only works with external devices that support Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) and
only when those devices are either in standby mode or turned on.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control up to 12 compatible external devices (up to 3 of the same type).
With home theater systems, however, the number of systems that can be controlled is limited to
one.
A home theater system that has been connected to the TV using an HDMI cable and an optical
cable supports 2-channel audio only. However, the home theater is capable of supporting
5.1-channel audio from digital broadcasts.
To listen to 5.1-channel audio from an external device, connect the device to the TV via an HDMI
cable and the device's digital audio output connector directly to the home theater system.
