Connecting other components to the system
In addition to the media center jacks already mentioned, each LIFESTYLE
®
DVD home
entertainment system provides audio connection jacks labeled AUX, CBL-SAT, and VCR.
However, if you connected the media center to the TV using Component video you will NOT
be able to make any Composite Video IN connection to the media center. The composite sig-
nals will not pass through.
Instead, make any composite connections directly to your TV. Or use an S-video connection
to Video IN on the media center if the component you are connecting supports S-video.
VCR connection options
Most VCRs feature Composite video output jacks only. The instructions below assume, also,
that you used a Composite (NOT Component or S-video) connection from Video OUT on the
media center to the TV.
• If you are connecting a VCR only, follow Steps 1 and 2 below.
• If you are connecting a VCR and Cable or Satellite box combination, skip to “Cable or Sat-
ellite box options” on page 28.
To connect your VCR directly to the media center
1. Using audio cables (with dual RCA connectors at each end), connect the left (L) and right
(R) audio outputs on your VCR to the L and R Audio IN jacks for VCR on the media center
rear panel.
2. Using a video cable (with one yellow RCA connector at each end), connect Video OUT on
the VCR to Composite Video IN on the media center.
