There are many variations of equipment in a home theater. A basic home theater system
might include a stereo or mono TV and stereo VCR with the Lifestyle
theater can include many other combinations of equipment, including cable TV, laserdisc
players, DVD players, CDI players, additional VCRs, and satellite decoder.
Note: A mono TV only serves as a display for the video, not as a source for the audio.
®
In order for the Lifestyle 12 system to provide home theater effects, the program material
must be in stereo or surround-encoded, and the device playing the material must be stereo.
Look for the word "surround" on the tape, CD, or preceding the TV broadcast. To hear stereo
or surround sound from encoded video tapes, you must have a stereo (HiFi) VCR. While not
all VCRs are stereo devices, all CD, DVD, and CDI players and nearly all laserdisc players are
stereo.
Note: Line level outputs from most VCRs or laserdisc players are fixed. If your VCR, laserdisc
player, or other video sound source has fixed and variable outputs, use the fixed outputs.

The Lifestyle 12 system has one set of video inputs for the primary source (Figure 9).

Note: Your Lifestyle 12 system includes one 6-foot (1.8 m) stereo cable to connect the right
(R) and left (L) audio outputs from a component to the music center inputs. Cables may also
be supplied with your components. If needed, audio cables are available at many electronics
stores, or call Bose ® . Most audio cables are color coded. Match red connectors to right (R)
jacks and black or white connectors to left (L) jacks.
There are three basic methods for setting up your home theater. It is easiest to use a stereo
TV as the switching center to select the sound source. The next easiest option is to use a
stereo VCR as the switching center. The third option is to connect components directly to the
®
Lifestyle 12 music center, and select the source from the Lifestyle
panel.
