Operating Your Lifestyle® 25 System

Listening to digital sound

Turning on the digital audio source

Turn on the DVD player, DTV, or other digital audio source. Load the DVD disc.

Turning on the system and choosing digital sound

Press AUX to turn your system on to play digital sound. If your Lifestyle® system does not receive a valid PCM or Dolby Digital bitstream, it will automatically select the analog signal connected to the music center AUX jacks.

Selecting listening material

To select material with compatible digital-audio bitstreams, look for the terms PCM or Dolby Digital, or the symbol 1on DVD-Video discs. Your Lifestyle® 25 system cannot process MPEG-2 or DTS digital bitstreams. Make sure a connection is made between your DVD player or Digital TV’s digital audio output and your system’s digital audio input.

To select surround-encoded analog or digital audio material, look for the terms Surround or Dolby Surround, the symbol 3on tapes and discs, or the word “surround” preced- ing a TV broadcast. You can listen to any program material in SURROUND (5-speaker) mode, though you may not hear sound from all five speakers all the time. Some monaural and stereo materials will not cause sound to be directed to the surround speakers. Even with surround- encoded material there are times when no sounds are directed to the surround speakers.

Listening to compact discs

Using the CD changer

You can load up to six compact discs at a time.

Loading discs into the CD magazine

Hold the magazine, looking at the side with the arrow. Insert up to six discs, label side up (Figure 20). Take care to place only one disc in each slot. Note the slot numbers 1 through 6, from bottom to top, on the front edge window. These numbers correspond to the CD num- bers on the display.

Note: If a disc is upside-down, it does not play. The display shows the word “disc” and flashes the box representing that disc.

CAUTION: Do not insert more than one disc into any slot. Forcing two discs into one slot could cause them to become stuck, and could damage the discs, the CD magazine, or the music center.
