SYSTEM SETUP

Setting up your TV for the CineMateTM speaker system

To enjoy the full benefit of hearing TV audio through the CineMateTM speaker system, the internal speakers in your TV should be turned off. Your TV may have an on-screen audio menu that includes an option for turning the TV speakers on or off.

Your TV audio menu may also include an option for selecting a FIXED or VARIABLE audio output. If possible, use FIXED for the highest sound quality.

The following describes the most common ways to make these changes in your TV. Refer to your TV owner’s guide for specific instructions for your brand.

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 jacks.

Using a TV setup menu

1.Using your TV remote, display the audio menu on your TV screen. In most cases this can be done by pressing the Menu button and selecting Audio.

2.Locate the Speakers On/Off menu item, select Speakers Off and exit the menu.

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.

Selecting the FIXED audio output option on your TV

Changing this setting is based on how you connected the Interface module to your TV (see “Using TV audio output jacks” on page 11).

1.Using your TV remote, display the audio menu on your TV screen. In most cases this can be done by pressing the Menu button and selecting Audio.

2.Turn off the TV speakers (see “Turning off the TV internal speakers”).

3.Locate the Audio Output item in the TV menu and select Fixed. Exit the audio menu, and reduce the TV volume to its lowest setting.

If you do not have the option of selecting either Fixed or Variable, turn off the TV speakers (see “Turning off the TV internal speakers”), exit the audio menu, and adjust the TV volume to about 80% of the highest volume.
