Anynet Basics

1. What is Anynet?

Anynet is an AV network system to automatically control Samsung audio-video (AV) devices through the Anynet menu via a Samsung TV.
[ Anynet Features and Benefits ]
Aynet allows you to access most features of any device connected to your TV set
from a single remote control. With Anynet, there is no need to use different remote controls for different devices. Moreover, there is no need to press separate buttons to switch devices.
++
Just choose a function from the Anynet menu and the rest of the process required is
performed automatically via the network linking the devices. It frees you from the inconvenience of pressing separate buttons on separate devices several times to perform a task.
- Ex} To play a DVD: Regular (Three remote controls; nine button presses)
- Through Anynet (One remote control; t hree button presses) The Anynet network allows the devices connected to exchange control commands with
one another and check the operating status. As a result, you can use your TV remote control to control your DVD player when you Play DVDs and to control the STB when you watch the STB (set-top box) programs. You can switch easily and conveniently between listening to the program
you are currently watching through your TV speakers or through Home Theater with 5.1 channel speakers.
[ The Anynet is most convenient when ]
You watch content from external input source device such as DVDs, STB programs or the VCR
You need to change channels, adjust the volume or skip scenes while you are watching
content from an external input source device You want to switch between the TV speakers and the 5.1 channel speakers while you are
watching a program

It turns all devices that have been turned on using the Anynet menu, including the TV, off.
However, if the button is pushed while a device from the DVD/VCR Combo product group is
recording, a dialog is displayed to allow you to check the recording status before the power
is turned off.
All units except for the one that is recording
are turned off after three seconds.

It turns all the video devices that are on at the time off.
However, if you switch from “Play DVD ” to “Play VCR ” ,or vice versa
on a DVD/VCR Combo group device, it does not turn the
DVD/VCR Combo off and stops the DVD player or the VCR instead.
In addition, if you switch to another Anynet menu item while a DVD/VCR Combo
group device is recording, the DVD/VCR Combo device is not turned off and no
separate dialog box is displayed.
