Figure 19
The media center receives
audio signals from the cable
or satellite box and the
VCR, but not from the TV
The 3.2.1 system is designed to deliver high-quality home entertainment free of complexity
and complications. But it also provides the flexibility for you to add other components in a
variety of configurations.
The following illustrations show two additional means of connecting equipment to the media
center.
In Figure 19 below, both audio and video from a cable or satellite box are routed through the
VCR. Audio from the VCR is connected to the media center, while the TV audio is not. Any
non-cable/satellite TV sound comes directly from the TV, while you enjoy the benefits of
Bose' sound with any cable/satellite or VCR programs.

The media center receives
all audio-for-video signals
directly from the TV
In Figure 20, below, the audio from both the cable or satellite box and the VCR is routed to
the TV, and the TV audio is connected to the media center. This delivers all of the video
source sound through one jack (for instance, VIDEO 1) on the media center. This allows you
to use just one button on your remote to select the sound from any video program you play.
