Setting Up
Connecting your home theater components to the Lifestyle
®
8 system
There are many possible variations of equipment in a home theater. In addition to the
Lifestyle
®
8 system, a home theater complement typically includes a stereo or mono TV and
stereo VCR. In a digital home theater system, the primary source may be a DVD player. Your
home theater can include many other combinations of equipment, including cable TV,
laserdisc players, additional VCRs, and a satellite decoder.
Note: A mono TV only serves as a display for the video, not as a source for the audio.
In order for the Lifestyle ® 8 system to provide home theater effects, the program material
must be in stereo or surround-encoded, and the device playing the material must be stereo.
Look for the word “surround” on the tape, CD, or preceding the TV broadcast. To hear stereo
or surround sound from encoded video tapes, you must have a stereo (HiFi) VCR. While not
all VCRs deliver stereo, all CD, DVD, and nearly all laserdisc players do.
Note: Line level outputs from most VCRs or laserdisc players are fixed. If your VCR, laserdisc
player, or other video sound source has fixed and variable outputs, use the fixed outputs.
Setting up a digital sound source
Connect a DTV or DVD player’s digital signal directly to the female RCA jack on the audio
input cable. Connect the DVD player’s analog signal output to the AUX inputs. If your
Lifestyle
®
system receives a valid digital signal (including PCM or Dolby Digital bitstreams),
this digital sound is used. If no valid digital signal is received, then your system selects the
analog signal being sent to AUX, which is then processed by the Videostage
®
decoder for
excellent home theater sound. If your digital audio source has an optical connector, you will
need an adapter with an RCA (coaxial) connector. Consult your dealer or contact Bose
®
.
Note: Ensure the connection between the digital source and the Lifestyle
®
system is made
using a 3 to 6 foot (1 to 2 m) standard audio cable or video cable. For longer lengths, use a
75 ohm cable.
