How to use Anynet+ on your Samsung projector
Control an external device connected via Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) with the remote control. You can use the projector's remote control to control external devices that are connected to the Projector by an HDMI cable and that support Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). Note that you can only set up and operate Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) with the remote control.
- Anynet+ cannot be used to control external devices that do not support HDMI-CEC.
- You can configure your projector's universal remote to control third-party cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and home theatres that do not support HDMI-CEC. For more information, refer to How to use universal remote for your connected devices.
- The remote control may not work under certain circumstances. If this occurs, set up the device as an Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)-enabled device again.
- Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) works only with external devices that support HDMI-CEC and only when those devices are either in standby mode or turned on.
- Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control up to 12 compliant external devices (up to 3 of the same type) except for home theatres. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) can control only one home theatre system.
- To listen to 5.1 channel audio from an external device, connect the device to the projector via HDMI cable and connect a 5.1 home theatre system directly to the external device's digital audio output connector.
- If an external device has been set up for both Anynet+ and universal remote control, the device can be controlled only with the universal remote control.
Connect an external device via Anynet+ so you can simply use one remote to control all your devices. The connecting process can take up to 2 minutes to complete. Here's how:
Step 1. Press the Home button on your TV remote, and then navigate to and select Settings > General.
Step 2. Select External Device Manager, and then select Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to turn it on.
Step 3. Connect an HDMI-CEC-compliant device to the projector.
Step 4. Turn on the connected external device. The device is automatically connected to the projector. After the connection process is finished you can access the menu of the connected device using your projector remote and control the device.
If Anynet+ does not work
Make sure the device supports Anynet+.

Make sure Anynet+ is turned on (Settings > General > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)).
Anynet+ may not function when other functions are active, including Channel Search, Smart Hub, Initial Setup, etc.
If you have disconnected and then reconnected the HDMI cable, scan for devices again or turn your projector off and on.
