Connecting a game console

If you connect a game console to the CinemaStation using a commercially available audio/video cable (for analog connections) or a video cable and optical cable (for digital connections), you can enjoy games or videos with the CinemaStation. For information, refer to the manual supplied with your game console.

Notes

Do not connect the power cable of the CinemaStation until all cable connections are completed.

Turn off the AV equipment before connecting it to the CinemaStation.
