Are you over watching TV or movies with those boring little internal speakers on your TV? Use your VSSL X Series amplifier to power your audio system and bring those movies or shows to life as well as stream your favorite music!
Step 1 - Connect the TV and VSSL
Each X Series amplifier is equipped with both a digital optical (Tos-link) and analog RCA input connections. When making your connections, be sure to check that the cable coming from the TV is connected to an INPUT.
Step 2 - Change TV AUDIO Settings to PCM
Because each VSSL zone contains a two-channel audio signal, your TV's digital audio output format will need to be set to PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation). Many TV manufacturers will claim to auto-detect this format, but we still strongly recommend specifically assigning PCM over any other audio transmission format.
Step 3 - Change VSSL Priority to Local First
Open the VSSL app -> select the menu bar the top left corner of the screen -> select your device -> select your zone(s) -> under Streaming Controls switch the Priority from Stream First to Local First. This ensures the the VSSL will recognize the TV input signal over any streams that are currently playing or will attempt to play while the TV is turned on. If you have a stream started, as soon as the VSSL gets a signal from the TV, it will end the stream and output TV audio.
Step 4 - Lean Your Remote's IR Codes
First, ensure the included IR sensor has been plugged into the IR Input on the back panel of the VSSL. Open the VSSL app -> select the menu at the top left corner -> select your device -> scroll down and select IR Control under General Controls -> select which zones you'd like controlled by your remote (A.3x and A.6x only) -> select Learn All Codes -> point your remote at the IR sensor and press the designated buttons as instructed in the app.
Step 5 - Assign Your Input (A.3x and A.6x only)
Open the VSSL app -> on the home Zones screen click on the small input icon in the bottom right corner of a zone's section -> select edit "Edit Inputs" -> create a name for the used input -> return to the Zones screen -> select the icon once more -> select the input name to assign it to that zone. Repeat for each zone you'd like the TV to play audio to.
