Connecting your TV to the Interface module
After setting up the system speakers and Interface module, connect the audio output of
your TV to the TV AUDIO input jacks on the Interface module, using the supplied stereo
cable (Figure 12).

your TV and the Interface
module
Using TV audio output jacks
Audio output jacks are not standard on all brands of TVs. Some TVs have more than one set
of audio output jacks; others have none. Use the guidelines below to help determine how to
connect your TV to the Interface module.
• If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks that are labeled FIXED (FIX) and VARIABLE
(VAR), use the jacks labeled FIXED (recommended for the highest sound quality). If there is
only one audio output jack labelled FIX/VAR (Out To TV, or Monitor Out, etc.), then you may
need to find the
$XGLR2XWSXWitem in your TV’s on-screen menu and select )L[HG. See
“Selecting the FIXED audio output option on your TV” on page 13.
• If your TV has only VARIABLE (VAR) audio output jacks, you can connect the Interface
module to them. However, if you use the VARIABLE audio output jacks, you must be sure to
turn off your TV’s internal speakers and turn up your TV volume. See “Turning off the TV
internal speakers” on page 13.
• If your TV does not have any audio output jacks, you can connect the CineMate ™ speaker
system to the audio output jacks of another source, such as a DVD player or cable/satellite
box. However, you will hear sound only from the connected source through your CineMate
speakers.
Connecting the power cord
CAUTION: Do not plug the Acoustimass ® module into an AC power (mains) outlet until the
speakers and Interface module are connected.
CAUTION: For dual-voltage models only, be sure to set the dual-voltage switch on the back
of the Acoustimass module to the appropriate voltage for your area (115V or 230V) before
connecting to power. If you are not sure about the proper voltage for your area, consult your
local electrical authorities.
1. Insert the small connector end of the power cord into the AC input connector on the
Acoustimass module (Figure 13).
2. Insert the large end of the cord into an AC power (mains) outlet.
