Switching sources

English

Adding the VS-2 to your system setup greatly simplifies source selection. Just press the remote button (CD/DVD, VCR, CBL/SAT, or AUX) for the source you want to use. If you select one of the sources connected to the VS-2, be sure the source is turned on.

Selecting TV channels

When the VS-2 is connected to your LIFESTYLE® system, the remote changes channels on the source selected by the TV Control setting (CBL-SAT, VCR, TV or AUX) in the System menu under Remote Control options. This means that when you select the TV source on the remote, you see and hear the TV channel coming from your TV Control selection. For example, if you set TV Con- trol to CBL-SAT and press the TV source button on your remote, you will see and hear the pro- gram on the selected channel of your cable or satellite box.

If TV Control is set to TV (default setting), your TV screen goes blank when selecting the TV source unless you enable the Persistent Video option (see “New System menu items” on page 17). If your TV screen is blank, the media center displays CHOOSE TV INPUT to remind you to select the correct video input on your TV.

Watching video from one source while listening to audio from another

Normally, when you switch to an audio source from a video source, your TV screen goes blank. To change this so the video source remains on your TV screen, go to the System menu and change the Persistent Video option setting to Enabled.

Enabling Persistent Video allows you to continue viewing the video portion of a program while lis- tening to the audio from another source, such as FM or AM radio. For example, you can watch a ball game on your TV while listening to the broadcast audio of the same ball game from a local radio station.
