Configuration of the Cinema Link peripherals
The connection diagram in the inside cover shows you how to connect the Cinema Link peripherals
with each other.
Notes:
- Besides the TV or receiver box at least one peripheral should be provided with the Cinema Link functionality to
benefit from this feature.
- To take advantage of the highest quality of multi channel Surround sound it is advisable that you have a
Cinema Link audio receiver connected.
- The peripherals connected don't need to see the TV remote control in the Cinema Link system. The commands
given to the TV are automatically passed to the other peripherals. This allows you to put the peripherals behind
the doors of a cabinet or to place them in another room.
- To enjoy Digital Surround playback, the digital device (e.g. DVD) should be connected to the digital input of the
audio receiver with a separate cinch audio cable 4. In case your TV is provided with a
connector, also connect it to one of the digital input connectors of your audio receiver 5. If you connect the
digital audio output connector of your TV and/or peripheral equipment to a digital input connector of your
audio receiver 4 and 5 (if present), select the appropriate digital input (1 or 2) in your audio receiver.
- The optional wireless speakers of the TV cannot be used.
