CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES English Français Español English 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 VCR/DVRs - using your LIFESTYLE® remote control.

Setting the remote to control each component Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to each component that your LIFESTYLE® 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. 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 component as you use the LIFESTYLE® remote to turn it on and off. If you have not yet installed the emitter, see "Using the IR emitter" in your Installation Guide.
