CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES

Using your LIFESTYLE! remote with other components

You can control most brands of external components – such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes, and VCR/DVRs – using your LIFESTYLE® remote control. After you make the proper menu selections for each component you want to control, the LIFESTYLE® remote serves as a ! universal remote for most of your component operations.

Setting the remote to control each component

Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to each component that your LIFESTYLE® remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on those sources (which are in the room with the media center) and make basic selections from them. The additional components may be connected either to the media center or to the TV.

It may take more than one try

Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one code, your remote may turn your TV, cable or satellite box, or VCR on and off successfully. However, ! if you cannot change channels or initiate other features using the remote, you may want to continue testing device codes until you find one that provides greater control.

After trying a few codes, if your component still does not respond, reposition the component slightly.

Note: IR signals must reach each component for a reliable test of the IR code settings. A good way to succeed is by using the supplied IR emitter cable, positioning it in front of each compo- nent as you use the LIFESTYLE® remote to turn it on and off. If you have not yet installed the emitter, see “IR emitter cable as an option” in your Installation Guide.
