To do this, you will need one additional video cable, which can be purchased at your local electronics store. Français Español English SYSTEM SETUP VCR considerations SYSTEM SETUP • Some combination TV/VCR units may not work with 3•2•1 GSX 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, 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 52) so your 3•2•1 GSX system will simulate surround sound effects from a mono source. Otherwise, you will hear mono sound from both speakers. Advanced setup options The 3•2•1 GSX home entertainment system provides connections for producing higher quality video and audio. The following describes how to use these connections. 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. 1. Insert one end of the S-video cable into the S-Video OUT jack on the media center (Figure 14). 2. Insert the other end of the S-video cable into the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV. Figure 14 Media center rear panel TV (S-video)-to-media center connections IMPORTANT If you use S-video to connect your TV to the media center, you must also use S-video to connect all other devices (such as a cable box and VCR) to the media center. S-video cable TV connector panel TV Stereo cable (red and white connectors) 18 6\VWHP6HWXSIP English Español Français SYSTEM SETUP Making component video connections (highest quality video) For the highest quality video from DVDs, you may want to use a component video connection between the media center and the TV. To do so, your TV must provide component video jacks (typically labelled Y, Pb, and Pr). Refer to your TV owner’s guide for more information. To make component video connections you will need a component video cable that is long enough to reach from the rear of the media center to your TV (Figure 15). If the cable is not supplied with your TV, you can purchase it separately. 1. On the media center rear panel, plug one end of the component video cable into the Component Y, Pb, and Pr video output jacks (Figure 15). Be sure to match the color of the plug with the color of the jack. 2. Plug the other end of the component video cable into the corresponding (color or letter code) component video jack on the back of your TV. Figure 15 Component video TV-to-media center connections Component video output jacks: Y (green) Pb (blue) Pr (red) Media center rear panel Component video cable Stereo cable (red and white connectors) TV connector panel (example) IMPORTANT FOR COMPONENT VIDEO USERS Input signals received by the C (Composite) or S-Video IN jacks are not passed through to the Component video OUT jacks. If you connect an external video device to the C or S-Video IN jack, you must also connect the C or S-Video OUT jack on the media center to the respective video input jack on your TV. To view the external video input on your TV, you will need to select the TV video input used for that device. To view the onscreen menus of the 3•2•1 GSX system, you will need to switch back to the TV’s component video input.

Your TV must also support this feature. To turn on the progressive scan feature, see “Video options” on page 59. Français Español English SYSTEM SETUP Connecting digital audio devices SYSTEM SETUP Some audio devices feature a digital audio output for optimum sound performance. Use an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable, as appropriate, to connect this output to the digital input on the media center. You can purchase the required cables at a local electronics store. On the media center rear panel, an optical digital cable connects to the OPTICAL jack. A coaxial cable connects to the audio input jacks labeled D. Note: Before you can benefit from the optical connection, you will need to assign the optical connector to the audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on page 60. Figure 16 Media center digital audio input jacks Optical digital audio input Coaxial digital audio inputs Connecting your cable/satellite box, TV, and VCR to the media center The 3•2•1 GSX home entertainment system provides flexibility for you to add up to three external audio devices, including your TV, directly to the media center. Figure 17 shows you an advanced setup using a TV, VCR and cable/satellite box. In this setup, please notice the following: • S-video connections are used to deliver the cable/satellite signal to the media center. Therefore, the media center output video is sent to the TV also through an S-video connection. • Analog and digital coaxial audio connections are shown for the cable/satellite box. As an option, you may use an optical digital connection. However, before you can benefit from the optical connection, you will need to assign the optical connector to the cable/satellite box audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on page 60. • When connecting an audio device to the media center jacks, remember to match the red jack to the right channel (R) and the white (or black) jack to the left channel (L). • For further details on making the video connections between your VCR and TV, refer to the manuals for these video devices.
