Controlling external sources
Follow the instructions in your LIFESTYLE ® Installation Guide for connecting an external com-
ponent. Turn on your component directly or by using its remote control. If you like, you can
program your new LIFESTYLE
® remote to control your external component. The LIFESTYLE ®
remote can be programmed for most brands of TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite control boxes.
Your media center has an infrared (IR) emitter behind the media center display to communi-
cate with any component your remote is programmed to control. However, a component may
be positioned where it cannot receive the IR signals emitted from the front of the media cen-
ter. If you experience difficulty operating one of your components, you can install the optional
IR emitter cable included with your system. See “Connecting the optional IR emitter cable” in
your LIFESTYLE
® Installation Guide.
