VCR considerations
• Some combination TV/VCR units may not work with 3•2•1 Series II 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 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
menu” on page 44) so your 3•2•1 system will simulate surround sound effects from a mono
source. Otherwise, you will hear mono sound from both speakers.

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.
• Insert one end of the S-video cable into the S-Video OUT jack on the media
center (Figure 14).
• Insert the other end of the S-video cable into the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

If you use S-video to
connect your TV to the

must also use S-video
to connect all other
devices (such as a
cable box and VCR) to
the media center.
