Cable or satellite box options
There are several ways to make the cable/satellite connections. Read these instructions to
see how they will work with the components you own. If you have component jacks (three
colored jacks) on your cable or satellite box and on your TV, you may prefer using another
type of connection (refer to "Connecting a DVR in addition to cable/satellite" on page 32).
Note: For information about the optional Bose
connection decisions, refer to"Accessories" on page 39.
To connect the cable or satellite box
Connect cable/satellite L & R Audio OUT to the L & R Audio IN jacks for CBL/SAT on the
media center.
1. Make the audio connection:
• Connect the L and R Audio output jacks from the cable/satellite box to the L and R
Audio IN for CBL/SAT on the media center.
2. Make the video connection:
• If the cable/satellite box has an S-video output jack, connect it to the S-Video IN jack
on the media center. Then use another S-video cable to connect the S-Video OUT jack
on the media center to a Video input jack on the TV.
• If the cable/satellite box has only a Composite video output jack, connect that to the
Composite Video IN jack on the media center.
• Make EITHER a composite OR an S-video connection from the cable or satellite box
to the media center and use the SAME type of connection from the media center to TV
Video input (Figure 26).
• If you choose to use both composite and S-video connections, be sure to use two
different Video input jacks on the TV. This will be necessary for TVs that are not capable
of distinguishing one signal from the other when both are connected to the same Video
input. Also be sure to select the proper Video input for viewing.
