Setting Up Connecting your home theater components to the Lifestyle® 800 system There are many possible variations of equipment in a home theater. In addition to the Lifestyle° 800 system, a home theater complement typically includes a stereo or monoIV 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 cableIV, 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 800 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 laserdiscplayers are fixed. Ifyour VCR, laserdisc player; or other video sound source has fixedand variable outputs, use the fixedoutputs. Settingup a digitalsoundsource Connect a DTV or DVD players 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 mad using a 3 to 6 foot(1to 2m) standard audio cable or video cable. For longerlengths, use 75 ohm cable.

Setting

Connecting
your
home
theater
components
to
the
Lifestyle
®
800
system
There
are
many
possible
variations
of
equipment
in
a
home
theater.
In
addition
to
the
Lifestyle
°
800
system,
a
home
theater
complement
typically
includes
a
stereo
or
mono
IV
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
IV,
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
800
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
players
digital

the
female
RCA

input
cable.
Connect
the
DVD

analog
signal

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

longer
lengths,
use
