Making these connections requires use of coaxial, S-Video, and composite cables.

2. Use the S-Video cable to connect the Video Out from your cable or satellite box to the !
one S-Video jack for Video IN on the media center.
3. Use a composite video cable (with a yellow RCA connector at each end) to connect the
VCR Video Out to the media center composite (yellow) Video IN.
4. Connect the S-Video and Composite Video OUT jacks from the media center to !
Video In jacks on the TV. Connect them to different inputs.
5. When your LIFESTYLE

remote is set to control the TV, use the TV Input button to select the
proper TV Video input for the VCR or cable/satellite picture.
If you must connect both S-Video and composite cables to the same set of Video input jacks
on the TV, you also must turn off one of the two connected components to watch the other.
