Setting Up

About the video source

Your TV is the display for the video (picture) signal. Thus, the video signal must be connected directly to the TV. Do not connect it to the Lifestyle® 25 system.

Note: For assistance with video connections between your DVD player and/or VCR and TV, see your video components manuals.

Note: There is no video signal input (usually a yellow-coded jack) on the music center. The VIDEO INPUT jacks are for audio from a video source.

Other connections

Use standard RCA audio cables to connect other components to your Lifestyle® music center, matching the red connector to R (right) and the white (or black) connector to L (left).

You can use a Y-adapter (available at electronics stores) to connect a mono source.

Tape deck

To use an external recorder (analog audio cassette, MD, or digital audio tape), connect the inputs (REC) of the recorder to the music center’s TAPE OUT jacks. Connect the outputs (PLAY) from the recorder to the music center’s TAPE IN jacks.

Laserdisc player or additional CD changer

To use one of these components, connect its audio outputs to the music center VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or AUX (if not used for a digital source) jacks, matching the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).

Turntable

To connect a turntable, you need a phono preamplifier (with RIAA equalization). You can order the appropriate model from Bose® by calling 1-800-367-4008 and asking for part number 252603. Connect the audio outputs of the phono preamplifier to the music center VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or AUX (if not used for a digital source) jacks, matching the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).

Note: The Lifestyle® 25 system cannot turn on or turn off a connected component.
