How to set up your home theater
There are two basic methods for setting up your home theater. It is best to connect compo- nents directly to the Lifestyle® 25 music center, and select the source from its remote or control panel. A second option is to use a stereo TV as the switching center to select the sound source. In each example, the analog outputs from the DVD player (or other digital device) are connected to the AUX inputs. You may need extra long audio cables or exten- sions for some of these connections.
(1) To connect video sound sources directly to the Lifestyle® 25 system
You may connect up to three video sound sources directly to your system. For example, connect the analog outputs of your DVD player to AUX, the VCR fixed outputs to VIDEO 1, and the TV to VIDEO 2 on the back of your music center. (See Figure 10.) Connect the coaxial digital audio output from your DVD player to the female RCA connection on the audio input cable (connecting the music center with the module) using a
If a valid digital signal is received by the Lifestyle® 25 system through the audio input cable, the system plays that audio source. If no valid digital signal is received, it selects the backup analog signal being sent to AUX.
When connecting your TV:
•Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 2 inputs on the music center.
•Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down. (If there is an internal/external speakers switch, select external speakers. Do not connect any speakers to the TV.)
•Turn off any special TV settings such as expanded stereo,
•Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.
•Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).
•Set TV to the stereo position.
