(2) To direct video sound sources through your TV
This is an alternative connection method. (See Figure 11.) If your stereo TV has fixed audio
outputs (the audio signal level doesn't change) 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 music center AUX inputs.
• 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 music center with the module)
using a male-to-male RCA cable.
• Connect your home theater components to the TV inputs.
• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 inputs on the music center.
• 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
• 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.
