SYSTEM SETUP
VCR considerations
• Some combination TV/VCR units may not work with 3.2,1 Series II home entertainment
systems. Please refer to your TV/VCR owner's manual for information.
A stereo VCR is required for optimal sound performance. If your VCR has only one audio
output and is not labeled Stereo or Hi-fi, you have a mono VCR. You will need a
Y-adapter cable (available at electronics stores) to connect audio to the media center. For
this setup, you will need to select "Mono decoding" (see "TV, CBL*SAT, and AUX settings
menu" on page 44) so your 3o2ol system will simulate surround sound effects from a mono
source. Otherwise, you will hear mono sound from both speakers.
Advanced setup options
Making S-video connections (higher quality video)
An S-video input jack, provided on many TVs, delivers a higher quality TV picture than the
composite video output connection shown in Figure 11. For this connection you will need an
S-video cable which can be purchased from your Bose dealer or a local electronics retailer.
* Insert one end of the S-video cable into the S-Video OUT jack on the media
center (Figure 14).
* Insert the other end of the S-video cable into the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV.
