Digital audio connection choices
If your TV, VCR, tape deck, or AUX component has the proper output jacks, you can
make a digital audio connection to the media center. (Figure 30). However, be sure to also
connect the analog L and R stereo outputs from the component to the media center. This is a
good way to ensure uninterrupted audio.
Use one of two means
• For a coaxial connection, use a 75: cable with RCA connectors (such as a video cable).
• For an optical connection, insert an optical digital cable into the Optical IN on the media
center rear panel. Use the Optical OUT jacks on the media center rear panel if you plan to
make a digital recording from that component.
Note:
Before you can listen to a source through the OPTICAL input, you need to assign the
OPTICAL connection to that source: TV, VCR, CBL/SAT or AUX. See your operating guide for
instructions on using the system menus.

There are other, optional connections you can make as needed.
For an optional antenna extender
If your remote control does not communicate with the media center, but the batteries are still
good, you may need extended transmission range. Use an antenna extender, which may be
purchased at an authorized Bose
®
dealer and plugs into the media center (Figure 30).
For the optional IR emitter cable
If a particular component does not respond to LIFESTYLE
®
system remote control com-
mands, the IR (infrared) signals may not be reaching it. Use the IR emitter cable, supplied with
the system for this use, which connects to the media center and can be placed close to that
component (Figure 30).
Note:
If IR signals fail to reach more than one external component, you may want to purchase
the add-on IR emitter, which can work with up to three components. To order the part
(Part Number 277896-001), contact Bose. Refer to the address list included in the carton.
To use the emitter:
1. Insert the 3.5 mm plug into the IR EMITTER jack on the media center panel.
2. Place the flat side of the other end of the cable near the unresponsive component so that
the remote control signals reach that component.
