Connecting a VCR in addition to cable/satellite

• If your cable or satellite box has an additional set of Audio and Video output jacks,
connect them to the corresponding Audio and Video input jacks on your VCR. Or, you
may use a coaxial cable connection between the two (Figure 27).
• Use the S-video cable to connect the Video out from your cable or satellite box to the
Video IN on the media center. Then use a composite video cable (with a yellow RCA
connector at each end) to connect the VCR to the media center. Use the TV Input button your
your LIFESTYLE ® remote to select the proper TV Video input for the VCR or cable/satellite.
• Or you may prefer to use an optional accessory that is offered by Bose to simplify your
connection of additional audio and video components.
Note: For information about the optional Bose
connection decisions, refer to "Accessories" on page 39.
• You may choose to connect both S-video and composite cables to the same Video input
jack on the TV. If so, be sure to turn off one of the components when you want to watch the
other, due to the inability of some TVs to distinguish different signals on the same Video
input.
• If the Video IN jack labeled VCR on the media center is already connected to a DVR,
refer to your DVR owner's guide for information on how to proceed.
