Choosing audio inputs
You can connect audio inputs from a variety of sources to your SMART Audio system.
Speaking into your microphone
When you speak into your microphone, your voice transmits by infrared signal to the room module or
expansion sensors and is broadcast from the speakers. For more information on speaking into the
microphone, see Speaking into the microphone on page 16.
Playing audio files from your computer
You can play audio or video files on your connected computer, and the audio broadcasts from the
speakers.
Connecting an audio input device to your microphone
You can connect an audio input device, such as an auxiliary microphone or portable audio player,
directly to the 3.5 mm jack on your microphone. The audio input transmits by infrared signal to the
room module or expansion sensors and is broadcast from the speakers. For more information on
connecting an audio input device to your microphone, see Connecting an auxiliary audio input device
on page 16.
Connecting an audio input device to the control unit
You can connect an audio input device, such as a CD player, DVD/Blu-ray™ player or VCR, to the
control unit. The audio then broadcasts from the speakers.
