Connecting Your System

Connection Method #1

All sources into your SoloCinema Studio
via HDMI (recommended)
HDMI
IN
BD
Cable
The HDMI cable runs from the HDMI output of the SoloCinema Studio
to an HDMI input on the TV set.
You will use the SoloCinema Studio remote for switching between the
sources you have connected to the system (Blu-Ray player, cable box etc.).
We recommend this method; it ensures the highest resolution audio and
video signals for the best possible audio performance.
Note: For greater convenience, you can program the SoloCinema Studio
to respond to the power, volume, mute, and source select commands of
your TV or cable box remote. See the "IR Learn" section of the
OSD Set-up Menu Functions for instructions.

Connection Method #2

All sources into your TV, with TOSLINK optical audio output
from the TV set to the sound bar.
TV
Opt OUT
BD
Cable
The TV does all the switching between sources, and the sound bar is
always set to INPUT #5.
Note: Most TV's cannot pass a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel audio
signal through an optical audio output connection. They can only pass
2 channel stereo through Toslink. The SoloCinema Studio will simulate a
surround experience, but it will not be as effective as when processing a
true 5.1 digital surround signal. This hookup method offers convenience:
most functions (including source switching) can be done through one
remote control, such as your cable box or TV remote. But you won't get
the best system sound quality, or be able to use all of the features of the
SoloCinema Studio, including your OSD (on-screen displays).
