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 43) so your 3•2•1 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.

must also use S-video

to connect all other

devices (such as a

cable box and VCR) to

the media center.
