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
