Controlling External Sources

Using your LIFESTYLE® remote with other components

You can control most brands of external components, such as TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite boxes, using your LIFESTYLE® remote control. You can also designate one of these compo- nents as the video tuner (channel selector) for all, to further simplify operation.

Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an infrared (IR) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to any component that your LIFESTYLE® remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on other sources in the room and make basic selections from them, whether they are connected to the media center or to the TV.

Note: If a component is located where it cannot receive these IR signals, you can use the supplied IR emitter cable with that component. For tips on getting the IR signals where they need to go, or using the optional emitter, see “Connecting the optional IR emitter cable” in your Instal- lation Guide.

For TV control

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to “Using System
