Note:  The interface module has both optical and analog 
connectors to accommodate a variety of TVs. When your 
TV is connected to the optical input on the interface 
module, the analog input cannot be used as a second 
audio input. 
Connecting analog audio
If your TV is not equipped with an optical connector, 
use the supplied stereo audio cable to connect from 
your TV audio out connectors to the interface module 
ANALOG IN connectors. 
The stereo audio cable has two RCA connectors at 
each end, one red and one white. It connects to left (L) 
and right (R) audio outputs on the rear panel of your TV 
and the interface module.  If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR) 
audio output connectors, use the fixed connectors for 
higher sound quality. Be sure to select Fixed in the 
setup menu of your TV.
To enjoy the full benefit of hearing TV audio through the 
CineMate
® system, the internal speakers in your TV 
should be turned off. Your TV may have an onscreen 
audio menu that includes an option for turning the TV 
speakers on or off.
Turning off the TV internal speakers
Newer TVs normally have a setup menu item for turning 
off speakers. Older TVs may have a speaker on/off 
switch on the rear panel near the audio output 
connectors.
Using a TV setup menu
1. Use your TV remote to display the audio menu on 
your TV screen.
2. Locate the menu item to turn your speakers on or 
off and select  Off.
If your TV does not have a menu setting for turning off 
the internal speakers, exit the audio menu and reduce 
the TV volume to its lowest setting.
Using a speaker on/off switch
If the rear panel of your TV has a  SPEAKER ON/OFF 
switch, set it to the OFF  position and adjust the TV 
volume to about 80% of the highest volume.
