Connecting to a TV with the supplied video cord

Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

You can connect this system to any TV using this output jack with the supplied video cord. However, if your TV has an S-Video input, we recommend also using that since you should get a better picture.

Playing your TV through this system

When watching cable or satellite TV, it’s best to connect the cable/satellite box directly to this system, rather than going via the TV. However, if you’re watching TV via an antenna plugged directly into the back of the TV, then connect your TV’s audio outputs to the AUDIO 1 or AUDIO 2 inputs of this system to play the TV’s audio through the speakers of this system. Use a standard stereo audio cord (not supplied), matching up the colors both ends for best results.

Connect to AUDIO 1 IN or AUDIO 2 IN
