Using alternate system connections

The following describes alternate ways to connect your VCR and TV to your Lifestyle

home

entertainment system.

To play VCR audio (not TV audio) through your system

Connect the VCR audio outputs to the TV inputs of the media center as in Figure 1, but do not
connect the TV audio outputs.

In this configuration, your VCR audio is played through your system, but the TV audio is
played directly from the TV. You must have the VCR turned on to hear any surround sound
effects.
