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.

Using the IR emitter
Normally, the Lifestyle® remote can control all of your 
source devices. However, in rare cases, some of your 
source devices may not operate correctly under control of 
the Lifestyle
® remote–for example, if your source devices 
are stored in a cabinet with doors. The remote will operate 
the Lifestyle
® system, but may not pr operly operate your 
other source devices depending on their placement. To 
overcome this problem, you can use one or both of the 
supplied IR emitters. 
Figure 14   IR emitters 
To use the IR emitter 
If only one of your source devices is not responding:
1. Plug the IR emitter cord connector into the 
Lifestyle
® media center  IR emitter connector. 
2. Temporarily position the emitter so that the flat side  is against the front panel of the source device. 
Note: DO NOT attach the supplied adhesive pad until 
you have tested emitter operation as explained below.
3. Using the Lifestyle
® remote, press the  On/Off 
button for that device. 
Slowly move the emitter around while pressing the 
remote On/Off button until the device responds.
4. Using the adhesive pad, attach the emitter to the  device.
If two or more devices are not responding:
1. Plug the IR emitter extender cord connector into  the Lifestyle
® media center.
Optionally, plug the IR emitter cord connector into 
the IR emitter extender. 
2. Place one or both IR emitters in a location  near the 
devices, such as on the shelf supporting the devices. 
3. Using the Lifestyle
® remote, press the  On/Off 
button for each device. 
Slowly move the emitter(s) around while pressing 
the remote On/Off button for each of the devices 
until all devices respond.
4. Using the adhesive pad(s), attach the emitter(s).IR emitter
