Note: For SCART connection instructions, refer to “Using a SCART adapter (in Europe only)” on
page 19.
If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR) audio outputs, use the fixed output
jacks. If the setup menu for your TV allows for it, select Fixed in that menu too.
If your TV provides digital audio output jacks, you can connect a digital cable as well as
analog. Use either a single coaxial cable with RCA connectors at each end, or an optical
cable with a unique snap-fit connector on each end.
To move other audio connections over to the media center now
At this time, none of your other components need to be added to complete your basic sys-
tem connections. In fact, the next section of this guide is titled Optional Connections and
Additions. By reading this, you can consider some new options before you begin adding your
other components.
However, by making very simple audio connections from another component to the media
center now, you may save extra effort later. If you prefer to do it now, use the instructions here
for each component that meets the following conditions:
You have connected the video from the component (VCR, Cable box, Game console, etc.)
directly to your TV and the audio from that component to an amplifier (which sends the
sound to the speakers).
You will simply move the audio connection for the component from the amplifier you were
using to the LIFESTYLE media center.
For a situation similar to the one above, you can made the connections as shown below
(Figure 14).
