Connecting components to the
Lifestyle
®
8 system inputs
(1) To connect video sound sources directly to the Lifestyle
®
8 system
You may connect up to three video sound sources directly to your system. For example,
connect the analog outputs of your DVD player to AUX, the TV to VIDEO SOUND, and the
VCR’s fixed outputs to TAPE PLAY on the back of your music center. (See Figure 10.) Con-
nect 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.
If a valid digital signal is received by the Lifestyle
®
8 system through the audio input cable, the
system plays that audio source. If no valid digital signal is received, it selects the backup
analog signal being sent to AUX.
When connecting to your TV:
• Connect the TV fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO SOUND 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
®
system.
• 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.

How to set up your home theater
There are two basic methods for setting up your home theater. It is best to connect compo-
nents directly to the Lifestyle
®
8 music center, and select the source from its remote or control
panel. A second option is to use a stereo TV as the switching center to select the sound
source. In each example, the analog outputs from the DVD player (or other digital device) are
connected to the AUX inputs. You may need long audio cables or cable extensions for some
of these connections.
