Determining the options for your setup

Besides the analog audio and composite video connections from the TV to the media center

(shown earlier in this guide), there are other options that can provide better performance.

However, your choices depend on:

• the type of TV you own

• any other audio and video components you want in your home theater system setup

• the cables you have on hand or are willing to buy to connect the following:

– PVR or DVR (a personal or digital video recorder) – VCR (a video cassette recorder)

– Cable or satellite box – Game console

– DVD changer – Recording equipment

To determine how you will connect and use added components, read the sections that follow.

Making other audio connections

There are two types of audio connections you can make for adding components:

• Analog connections, the most commonly used, require an !

with white and red connectors at each end. One

such cable (shown on the right) is provided with the system.!

• Digital connections require either coaxial digital

cable (with a single RCA connector at each end) or

optical cable (with a special square connector at

each end). If your

digital components do not include

cables, you can find these cables in consumer !

electronics retail stores.

Note:

When using a digital audio connection, be sure to maintain your analog connection, too.

In this way, you ensure continuous sound when a digital signal is absent or interrupted. It also

supports the use of a Bose

link connection for expansion into other rooms.
