Connecting components

through your TV

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.

Setting up the primary video sound source

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.
