Connecting other sources

You can connect both the audio and video outputs of a VCR or other video source to the
media center. A video connection will pass signals through to the TV.
A typical arrangement of components is shown in Figures 13 through 15. For additional
examples of how these connections can be made, refer to "Other choices" on page 19.

Other component connections

You can connect the audio output of up to three components, including your TV, directly to
the media center using the Video 1, Video 2, and Aux input jacks on the rear panel.
Each input includes jacks for Left and Right analog audio and a coaxial jack for digital audio.
In addition, the Video 1 input provides an optical jack for digital audio.
The jacks marked VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 are set automatically for movie EQ. If you connect a
video source to AUX, you can still set sound for movie EQ in the Settings on-screen menu.
When connecting a component's audio to the media center jacks, remember to:
• use standard RCA audio cables
• match the red connector to the right channel (R) and the white (or black) connector to the
left channel (L)
• use a Y-adapter (available at electronics stores) to connect to a mono source
For further details on making the video connections between your VCR and TV, refer to the
manuals for those video components.
When all the components are connected to the media center, you can add the antennas and
then plug in the system.
