For cable/satellite control
While you can set the LIFESTYLE

designate one or the other, not both, in the steps below.
The one connected to the CBL-SAT input on your media center is the one you should desig-
nate. So when you press the
CBL-SAT
source button and the
On/Off
button below it, you are oper-
ating that device.
You can designate the other under AUX Device. Do this only if the device is connected to the
AUX input on the media center, or the AUX input is not being used.
