Connecting your home theater components to the Lifestyle® system

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® 30 system. Your home theater can include many other combinations of equipment, including cable TV box, laser- disc players, DVD players, CDI players, additional VCRs, and satellite decoders.

Note: A mono TV only serves as a display for the video, not as a source for the audio.

In order for the Lifestyle® system to provide home theater effects, the program material must be recorded 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 play in stereo format.

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® music center has two sets of video sound inputs for the primary sources (Figure 10). If you set up your music center a distance from your TV, you may need extra long audio cables or extensions.

Note: Your Lifestyle® 30 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, cables are available at many electronics stores, or call Bose®customer service. 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® music center, and select the source from the Lifestyle® remote or control panel.

(1) To direct your video sound sources through your TV

If your stereo TV has fixed audio outputs (the audio signal level does not change), and it allows you to select the source of the signal (VCR, laserdisc, cable, etc.):

•Connect your home theater components (VCR, cable box, laserdisc player, etc.) to the appropriate TV inputs. See Figure 9.

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

•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.)

•Turn off any special TV settings such as expanded stereo, mega-bass, phantom, SAP. These settings prevent the proper processing of the surround sound through your Lifestyle® system.

•Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.

•Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).

•Set the TV to the stereo position.

Note: If you 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.

Note: If necessary, as a second choice, you can use variable audio outputs from your stereo TV. Turn off or disconnect the TV’s speakers and leave the volume control up – close to the maximum setting.
