Lola turns your computer into a jukebox for your whole house! Lola makes it
easy to keep music going at parties, lets you pick songs that suit your mood
from anywhere in the home.

Lola works with all popular music formats, including MP3, Windows Media,
and Real Audio. The Lola Media Manager finds and organizes your music
files and play lists. It even searches the Internet to find album artwork to
use in Lola. The Lola Media Player and the Lola Remote show you your
music organized by Artist, Album, and Genre so you can find exactly what
you want to hear.

With the Lola system you see and hear music from your computer on your
home entertainment system. Using either a wireless or direct connection,
you’ll be able to see and control the Lola screen on your TV, while listening
to music through your stereo or Home Theater.

Setting up Lola is simple. This owner’s manual will take you through
connecting and using Lola one step at a time. It will also show you how to
get the most out of Lola’s features, and help you if you run into trouble.
Thanks for purchasing X10’s premier home entertainment product, and
welcome to Lola!

Quick Steps to Using Lola

Even if you don’t read the rest of this manual, please read this.
There are few things you have to do for Lola to work:

• Install the Software. Use the link in the e-mail (subject “New
Software Download Link”) that was sent to you shortly after
you placed your order.

• Make sure your USB Transceiver is plugged in.

• Put 4 AAA alkaline batteries in the Lola remote.

• Connect your computer to your TV with the Lola hardware.

• Run the Media Manager and click “Scan My Computer for
Media!” Lola won’t work unless it knows what music you have.

That’s all there is to it. You can now run Lola.

Which system do you have?

All three system types look similar but the pictures here will help
distinguish which one you purchased.

The Direct Connect System includes the

CM19A USB Transceiver. It is used when

you want to directly connect your computer’s
RCA audio and video jacks directly to your
TV or Home Theater system.

Go to page 6 if you have this system.

The Wireless A/V System includes the

VT42A Wireless Audio/Video Sender with

built in USB Receiver. It is used for
computers that have an RCA or s-video type
Video out jack, which you can connect to the
VT42A. You can send the audio and video to
a remote TV or Home Theater system using
the VT42A.

Go to page 8 if you have this system.

The Wireless VGA System includes the

VT37A Wireless Audio/Video VGA Sender

with built in USB Receiver. This system is
used for computers that don’t have an RCA
Video out jack. You can see Lola on a Remote
TV/Home Theater system, and hear your
Music on the remote TV as well.

Go to page 10 if you have this system.
