Connecting your home theater components to the Lifestyle' 8 system There are many variations of equipment in a home theater. A basic home theater system might include a stereo or mono TV and stereo VCR with the Lifestyle° 8 system. Your home theater can include many other combinations of equipment, including cable N, laserdisc players, DVD players, CDI players, additional VCRs, and 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 (HiF) VCR. While not all VCRs we stereo devices, all CD, DVD, and CDI players and nearly all laserdisc players we stereo. .P Note:Line level outputs from most VCRs or laserdiscplayers are fixed. Ifyour VCR, laserdisc player, or other video soundsource has fixedand variable outputs, use the fixedoutputs.
