(1) To direct your video sound sources through your TV
If your stereo TV has fixed audio outputs (the audio signal level doesn’t change), and it allows
you to select the source of the signal (VCR, laserdisc, cable, etc.):
• Connect your home theater components (VCR, cable box, laserdisc player, etc.) to the
appropriate TV inputs. (See Figure 10.)
• Connect the fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO SOUND INPUTs of the music center.
• Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down.
(If there is an internal/external speakers switch, select external speakers. Do not
connect any speakers to the TV.)
• Set the TV balance control to the center of the dial or range.
• Set tone controls to flat or the middle position (neutral).
• Set TV to the stereo position.
Note:
If necessary, as a second choice, you can use variable audio outputs from your stereo
TV. Turn off or disconnect the TV’s speakers and leave the volume control up – close to the
maximum setting.

(2) To direct your video sound sources through your VCR
If your TV is not a stereo model, or does not have the appropriate outputs, connect your
stereo VCR to the music center. Use the VCR as a tuner and to select other connected sound
sources. (See Figure 11.)
• Connect your home theater components to the appropriate VCR inputs.
• Connect the VCR video signal to the TV through VIDEO IN or composite video input. You
can also use the RF or antenna input.
• Turn the TV speakers off or the volume all the way down.
(If there is an internal/external speakers switch, select external speakers. Do not connect
any speakers to the TV.)
• Connect the VCR fixed audio outputs to the VIDEO SOUND INPUTs of the music center.
Note:
To ensure proper stereo or surround sound, connect the L and R audio outputs from
your stereo VCR directly to your music center L and R VIDEO SOUND inputs, as shown in
Figure 11. If you prefer to connect the audio outputs from your TV to the music center, be sure
to use the L and R audio outputs from the VCR to the TV, instead of using coaxial cable. If the
audio signal passes through two coaxial cable connections (like the connection from a cable
TV box), in some cases the stereo or surround encoding may be lost.
