Connecting the audio from your TV
You may want to connect a source component, such as a
camcorder or game console, directly to your TV. To play
the audio from that source through your Lifestyle
®
system,
you must connect the audio coming out of the TV to the
Lifestyle
®
system.
If your TV does not have an audio output, you can still
hear the sound of a connected component through the
speakers built into the TV.
However, at any other time, it is
best to keep the volume of your TV turned all the way
down for a better surround sound experience.
To connect your TV audio to the Lifestyle
®
system:
• For a basic analog audio connection, use the
supplied stereo audio cable (with two RCA
connectors at each end, one red and one white). It
connects to left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on the
rear panel of your TV and to the (L and R) TV Audio IN
jacks on the media center rear panel (see Figure 13).
• If your TV provides a digital audio out connector,
connect a digital audio cable. When making the
digital audio connection, use either a single coaxial
cable or an optical cable.
Do not disconnect the analog connection described
above. The analog connection ensures consistent
sound in the event of a weak digital signal.
• If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR)
audio output jacks, use the fixed jacks for higher quality.
Be sure to select Fixed in your TV setup menu.
