CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES
Using
your
LIFESTYLE®
remote
with
other
components
You
can control most brands
of
external components - such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes,
and VCRlOVRs - using your
L1FESTYLE®
remote control. After you make the proper menu
selections for each component you want
to
control, the
L1FESTYLE®
remote serves as a
universal remote for most of your component operations.
Setting the
remote
to
control
each
component
Your
L1FESTYLE®
system includes
an
IR
(infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front
of
the music center to each component that your
L1FESTYLE®
remote is set
to
control. This
allows you to turn on those sources (which are
in
the room with the media center) and make
basic selections from them. The additional components may be connected either to the
media center or to the
TV.
It
may
take
more
than
one
try
Some manufacturers use a number
of
similar device codes. After selecting one code, your
remote may turn your
TV,
cable or satellite box,
or
VCR on and off successfully. However,
if you cannot change channels or initiate other features using the remote, you may want to
continue testing device codes until you find one that provides greater control.
After trying a few codes, if your component still does not respond, reposition the component
slightly.
)
Note:
IR
signals must reach each component for a reliable test
of
the
IR
code settings. A
good
way to succeed
is
by
using the supplied
IR
emitter cable, positioning it
in
front
of
each compo-
nent as you use the LlFESTYL£® remote to turn
it
on
and
off.
If
you have
not
yet installed the
emitter, see
"IR
emitter cable as an option"
in
your
Installation Guide.
