(2) To direct your video sound sources through your VCR

If your TV is not a stereo model, or does not have the appropriate outputs, connect your

stereo VCR to the music center. Use the VCR as a tuner to select other connected sound

sources. See Figure 11.

• Connect your home theater components to the appropriate VCR inputs.

• Connect the VCR video out signal to the TV through VIDEO IN or composite video

input. You can also use the RF (coaxial or 75 ) or antenna input.

• Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down.

(If there is an internal/external speakers switch, select external speakers. Do not

connect any speakers to the TV.)

• Connect the VCR fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO 1 or 2 inputs of the music center.

Note: To ensure proper stereo or surround sound, connect the L and R audio outputs from

your stereo VCR directly to your music center L and R VIDEO 1 or 2 inputs, as shown in

Figure 11. If you prefer to connect the audio outputs from your TV to the music center, be

sure to use the audio (L and R) and video outputs from the VCR to the TV. If the audio signal

passes through two coaxial cable connections (like the connection from a cable TV box), in

some cases the stereo or surround encoding may be lost.

(3) To connect components directly to the Lifestyle

If you cannot (or do not choose to) use your TV or VCR to select the sound sources, con-

nect up to three sound sources directly to the Lifestyle

a VCR into VIDEO 1, a laserdisc to VIDEO 2, and a TV's fixed audio outputs to AUX on the

music center. See Figure 12. By pressing VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or AUX on the remote control

or SOURCE SELECT on the music center control panel, you choose which sound source to

hear.

Note: Selecting VIDEO 1 or 2 on your Lifestyle

(5-speaker) mode, and selecting AUX or TAPE automatically selects STEREO (2-speaker)

mode. If you wish, you can change the speaker mode after you select the source.

About the video source

Your TV is the display for the video (picture) signal. Therefore, the video signal must be

connected directly to the TV. The video signal should not be connected to the Lifestyle

music center.

Note: For assistance with video connections, see your video components manuals.

Note: There is no video signal input (usually a yellow-coded jack) on the music center. The

music center VIDEO INPUT jacks are for audio from a video source.
