Universal Remote Setup

This TV has a universal remote control feature that lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theatres, and 

other third-party external devices connected to the TV using the TV's remote control.

Keep a distance of 5 cm at least between the IR EXTENDER CABLE and the external device, as the illustration shows.
