Reference

Using alternate system connections

The following describes alternate ways to connect your VCR and TV to your LIFESTYLE® home entertainment system.

To play VCR audio (not TV audio) through your system

Connect the VCR audio outputs to the TV or VCR inputs of the media center as in Figure 1 on page 5, but do not connect the TV audio outputs.

In this conﬁguration, your VCR audio is played through your system, but the TV audio is played directly from the TV. You must have the VCR turned on to hear any surround sound effects.
