Connecting the audio from your TV
You may want to connect a source component, such as a 
camcorder or game console, directly to your TV. To play 
the audio from that source through your Lifestyle
® system, 
you must connect the audio coming out of the TV to the 
Lifestyle
® system. 
If your TV does not have an audio output, you can still 
hear the sound of a connected component through the 
speakers built into the TV. However, at any other time, it is 
best to keep the volume of your TV turned all the way 
down for a better surround sound experience.
To connect your TV audio to the Lifestyle® system:
 For a basic analog audio connection, use the  supplied stereo audio cable (with 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 to the (L and R) TV Audio IN 
jacks on the media center rear panel (see Figure 13).
 If your TV provides a digital audio out connector,  connect a digital audio cable. When making the 
digital audio connection, use either a single coaxial 
cable or an optical cable. 
Do not disconnect the analog connection described 
above. The analog connection ensures consistent 
sound in the event of a weak digital signal.
 If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR)  audio output jacks, use the fixed jacks for higher quality. 
Be sure to select Fixed in your TV setup menu.
