Controlling external sources

Follow the instructions in your LIFESTYLE® Installation Guide for connecting an external com- ponent. Turn on your component directly or by using its remote control. If you like, you can program your new LIFESTYLE® remote to control your external component. The LIFESTYLE® remote can be programmed for most brands of TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite control boxes.

Your media center has an infrared (IR) emitter behind the media center display to communi- cate with any component your remote is programmed to control. However, a component may be positioned where it cannot receive the IR signals emitted from the front of the media cen- ter. If you experience difficulty operating one of your components, you can install the optional IR emitter cable included with your system. See “Connecting the optional IR emitter cable” in your LIFESTYLE® Installation Guide.
