Video components

To play video sound through your Lifestyle® music system, connect the R and L audio outputs (fixed outputs preferred) of your stereo TV, stereo VCR, DVD, or laserdisc player to the music center VIDEO SOUND input jacks. You can use a Y-adapter (available at electronics stores) to connect a mono source. However, the left and right speakers then play the same monaural sound.

Your TV is the display for the video (picture) signal. The video signal should not be connected to the Lifestyle® music system.

Note: To ensure proper stereo sound, connect the L and R audio outputs from your stereo VCR directly to your music center L and R VIDEO SOUND inputs.

If you prefer to connect the audio outputs from your TV to the music center, be sure to use the L and R audio outputs and the video output from the VCR to the TV, in addition to coaxial cable.Then, for proper playback of stereo-encoded video tapes, use the TV remote control to select the correct TV inputs (for example, change from “ANTENNA A” to “VIDEO 1” to receive the sound transmitted through the L and R connections). See your TV owner’s manual for assistance.

Other connections

Tape deck

To use an external tape recorder (analog audio cassette, analog open reel, digital audio tape, Digital Compact Cassette, or MiniDisc), connect the inputs from the tape deck to the music center TAPE REC OUTPUT jacks. Connect the outputs from the tape deck to the music center TAPE PLAY INPUT jacks, matching the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).

CD changer, CDI player, DVD player, or laserdisc player

To use one of these components, connect its audio outputs to the music center AUX INPUT jacks, matching the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).

Turntable

To connect a turntable, you may need a phono preamplifier (with RIAA equalization). Consult your dealer for the appropriate model. Connect the audio outputs of the phono preamplifier to the music center AUX INPUT jacks, matching the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).

Note: The Lifestyle® music system cannot turn a connected component on or off.
