Connecting a DVR in addition to cable/satellite

• If your cable or satellite box has an additional set of Audio and Video Out jacks, connect
them to the corresponding Audio and Video input jacks on your DVR. Or, you may use a
coaxial cable connection between the two (Figure 28).
• 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 DVR to the media center.
• 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.
• If you use both S-video and composite connections into the Video IN jacks on the media
center, be sure to use both types of connections from the media center to the TV. Also
make sure you connect the two cables to different Video input jacks on the TV
(Figure 28).
• You may choose to connect both S-video and composite cables to the same Video input 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 VCR Video IN jack on the media center is already connected to a VCR, connect your
DVR video directly to the TV instead.
