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

50 multi-room interface, and select the sound source using the

Personal™ music center. 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

extensions for some of these connections.

Preferred method: Connect video sound sources directly to the Lifestyle

system (Figure 12)

You may connect up to three video sound sources directly to your Lifestyle

50 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 the multi-room interface. Connect the coaxial

digital audio output from your DVD player to the female RCA coaxial connector on the audio

input cable (connecting the multi-room interface with the module) using a male-to-male RCA

audio cable.

If a valid digital signal is received by the Lifestyle

50 system through the audio input cable,

the system plays that audio source. If no valid digital signal is received, the system selects

the analog audio signal sent to AUX.

When connecting your TV:

• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 2 inputs on the multi-room interface.

• 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, mega-bass, phantom or

SAP. They prevent proper surround sound processing through your Lifestyle

system.

• 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.
