Setup Disc 1 verifies that your system’s speakers are connected correctly and ensures complete performance from your new system.

Setup Disc 2 leads you through an important custom equalization process, which tailors the sound of your LIFESTYLE® system for the acoustics of your listening area.

The special headset, referred to by Disc 2, enables you to take acoustic measurements in your room during the custom equalization process. Put it on only when the disc indicates.

Play these discs after you have set up your system and made all of the connections. Allow approximately 20 minutes to complete the process. You may want to do it when the acoustic measurements will not disturb anyone else.

To get started:

1.Turn your television on.

2.Lift up the media center front cover and press the Open/Close button.

3.Insert Disc 1 into the tray (label side up) and press the Open/Close button again.

4.On the remote control, press the CD/DVD button.

5.As the disc begins to play, listen carefully and follow the instructions given to you. The instructions will tell you when to play Disc 2.

Note: Disc 2 will indicate when you should put on the special headset. For the greatest com- fort during the equalization process, the headset is specifically designed to be worn above your ears.
