Component video connections as another option

Using a component connection to your TV provides the highest-quality video reproduction of

DVDs.

This requires using two component cables (not supplied) and both of the supplied compo-

nent video adapters.

1. Use one cable and an adapter to connect an audio/video device (cable or satellite box) to

the media center (Figure 29).

2. Use the second cable and an adapter to connect the media center to the TV.

3. Be sure to activate the component video feature of your system when these connections

are completed. Follow the instructions on page 35.

Note: For more details on component connections, refer to “Connecting for progressive scan or

HDTV” on page 29

connections

To add a VCR to the above setup, we recommend using an optional VS-1 video expander.

Using it you can make a composite connection for your VCR, an S-Video connection for your

cable, and a component connection to your TV.

Note:

For information about the optional Bose

VS-1 video expander, which can simplify your

connection decisions, refer to “Accessories” on page 40.
