Connecting Auxiliary Sources

Connection of the AUX 1 Input

The AUX 1
video input can
be Component,
S-Video, or
Composite. LMC-1
will upscale the
resolution if you
choose a higher
grade connection
into the TV screen
or monitor. Also
remember AUX 1
can "track" with the
EXT 7.1 input.

Connection of the AUX 2 Input

Auxiliary Audio Device Connections (AUX 2)
LMC-1 is limited to "analog audio only" inputs in
the AUX 2 position. There is no digital audio input
capability and there is no video input either. If you
have an auxiliary device to connect that requires
digital audio or video inputs, consider placing
that into the AUX 1 position. There is no need to
assign the audio input type on AUX 2 because
there is only one choice, analog RCA audio.
Satellite Radio Docking Station
Our example shows a satellite radio docking station that
has RCA outputs on the back of the dock which connect
into the RCA audio inputs on LMC-1 labeled "AUX 2".
Many satellite radio controllers (for either Sirius or XM)
are able to be moved from car to home when used
with a home docking station and - in most cases - an
indoor satellite radio antenna for reception. Although the
configuration of the dock may vary from model to model,
the idea is to connect the RCA audio outputs into the
LMC-1 as an AUX 2 source input and enjoy the same
satellite radio programming you have in your car.
Auxiliary A/V Device Connections (AUX 1)
There are several options for connection of external
A/V devices to the AUX 1 inputs depending on the
configuration of the device. There are assignable digital
inputs on AUX 1 (either optical or coaxial) or you can
connect analog audio RCA inputs as shown here. There
is also a choice of video inputs (Component, S-Video,
or Composite) on LMC-1 for AUX 1 inputs which makes
this input suited for just about any modern entertainment
device. Remember, when you select the EXT 7.1 input for
audio, it will display whatever video is present on the AUX
1 video input because EXT 7.1 "tracks" video with this
input even though audio switches from AUX 1 inputs.
iPod Docking Station
Our example shows an iPod docking station with wireless
remote (also docked) that has RCA outputs on the back
of the dock which connect into the RCA audio inputs
on LMC-1 labeled "AUX 1". Many portable compressed
media players also feature a video output for photos,
movies, etc. which would necessitate a video connection
as well. This example also shows the S-Video output of
the docking station connected to the S-Video input jack on
LMC-1 labeled "AUX 1".
Just think about all of the possibilities you have for an
AUX 1 A/V source!
Remember - for either satellite
radio provider you must have
a subscription to their service
before the device will receive
programming.
