Alternate method: Connect video sound sources to your TV (Figure 13)

If your stereo TV has fixed audio outputs (audio outputs that do not change when you adjust
the TV volume) and it allows you to select the source of the signal (VCR, laserdisc, cable,
etc.), then you can:

• Connect your DVD player L and R outputs to the AUX inputs of the multi-room inter-

face.

• Connect the DVD video output to one of the video inputs on the TV.

• Connect the coaxial digital audio output from your DVD player to the female RCA

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

• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 inputs of 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 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.

Note:

If necessary, as a second choice, you can use the variable audio outputs from your

stereo TV. Turn off or disconnect the TV’s speakers and leave the volume control up – close to
the maximum setting.

Note:

If you connect your stereo VCR through your stereo TV, do not use coaxial cable.

Instead, connect the VCR L and R audio outputs to the TV L and R audio inputs to ensure
proper stereo and surround sound.
