About the video source
Your TV is the display for the video (picture) signal. Thus, the video signal must be connected
directly to the TV. Do not connect it to the Lifestyle
® 50 system.
Note: For assistance with video connections between your DVD player and/or VCR and TV,
see your video components manuals.
Note: There is no video signal input (usually a yellow-coded jack) on the multi-room inter-
face. The VIDEO INPUT jacks are for audio from a video source.
Connecting other external components
Use standard RCA audio cables to connect other components to your Lifestyle ® system’s
multi-room interface, matching the red connector to R (right) and white (or black) connector
to L (left).
You can use a Y-adapter (available at electronics stores) to connect a mono source.
Tape deck
To use an external tape recorder (analog audio cassette, analog open reel, digital audio tape,
or Digital Compact Cassette), connect the inputs (REC) of the tape deck to the interface
RECORD OUT jacks. Connect the outputs (PLAY) from the tape deck to the interface TAPE IN
jacks. See Figure 14.
Laserdisc player or additional CD changer
To use one of these components, connect its audio outputs to the multi-room interface
VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or AUX (if not used for a digital source) input jacks, matching the red plug
to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left). See Figure 14.
Turntable
To connect a turntable, you need a phono preamplifier (with RIAA equalization). You can order
the appropriate model (PN 252603) from Bose
® Customer Service (See the inside back cover
for locations and phone numbers.). Connect the audio outputs of the phono preamplifier to
the interface VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or AUX (if not used for a digital source) input jacks, matching
the red plug to R (right) and black or white plug to L (left).
Note: The Lifestyle ® 50 system cannot turn on or off a connected component.
