So, why did I spend many, many hundreds of dollars on a speaker system and separate amplifier for the computer. Well.

All major speaker manufacturers keep coming up with new products. The remote stop working. The heavy magnet used to transmit is soldered & can easily break if the remote is dropped.

Seems like a lot to pay for something like this. Nothing is cheap like it used to be... Works exactly what I needed it for. Basically.
cooki01 10:10am on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 
Nice solution I purchased one of these for my father-in-law to use in a cabinet he re-built. Great little product. Took about 5 minutes to install. Wow. It just works. Connected and controlling 3 different IR devices in under 20 minutes. I am going to buy a second unit in a minute.
cweiske 9:50pm on Friday, April 2nd, 2010 
I have an Onkyo 605 receiver that puts out 90 watts per channel, the cubes can go up to 100 watts. If you are looking for a good 5.
robwhite 9:20am on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 
If you have the cash and looking for something easy to set up, go for it. I have heard audio equipment costing as little as an $18 iPod dock to a pair of speakers costing $50,000. But.
Acidd_UK 8:16pm on Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 
Great Product and Easy set up Not much to say except that it works better than expected. I installed it in a closet with a 20ft 3.
bari4u 4:24am on Sunday, March 14th, 2010 
Great sound out of a compact design. The only con I can mention for this product is the high price tag for Bose products. Attractive Design, Compact,...

This is contingent on your use of the supplied TV sensor. For information on installing and testing the TV sensor, refer to your LIFESTYLE system Installation Guide.

Controlling External Sources Using your LIFESTYLE remote with other components
You can control most brands of external components, such as TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite boxes, using your LIFESTYLE remote control. You can also designate one of these components as the video tuner (channel selector) for all, to further simplify operation. Your LIFESTYLE system includes an infrared (IR) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to any component that your LIFESTYLE remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on other sources in the room and make basic selections from them, whether they are connected to the media center or to the TV. Note: If a component is located where it cannot receive these IR signals, you can use the supplied IR emitter cable with that component. For tips on getting the IR signals where they need to go, or using the optional emitter, see Connecting the optional IR emitter cable in your Installation Guide.

For TV control

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE System menu, refer to Using System Menus on page 29. Use the TV remote to turn on the TV. Be sure to select the Video input on the TV for the media center. Then, using the LIFESTYLE remote control: 1. 2. 3. 4. Figure 4

*For the Automatic feature to work effectively with North American TV models, the optional TV sensor must be installed and positioned to detect if the TV is on or off. In Europe, a SCART connector serves this purpose. If you do not use a SCART connector, or the TV sensor is not positioned properly, the automatic feature is not an option. In that case, leave the TV power set to Manual. This means you must turn your TV on using its power button or with the LIFESTYLE remote (when it is set to do so). 8. Notice the TV Power Status: TV Detected means the installed TV sensor is working. TV Not Detected means the TV sensor (if installed) is not positioned properly, or a SCART connector is installed. Press System or Exit to leave the System menu. Note: For information on using the TV sensor, refer to Installing the TV on/off detector in your Installation Guide. To check for positioning of the sensor, refer to The media center on page 10

For cable/satellite control
While you can set the LIFESTYLE remote to control both cable and satellite boxes, you must designate one or the other, not both, in the steps below. The one connected to the CBL-SAT input on your media center is the one you should designate. So when you press the CBL-SAT source button and the On/Off button below it, you are operating that device. You can designate the other under AUX Device. Do this only if the device is connected to the AUX input on the media center, or the AUX input is not being used. Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE System menu, refer to Using System Menus on page 29. Follow the process below: Turn on the cable or satellite box, whichever you are setting the remote to control. Turn on the TV and be sure to select the Video input on the TV for the media center. Then, using the LIFESTYLE remote control, press the CBL-SAT source button and follow the steps below: 1. Identify the device: From the Remote Control options in the System menu, select CBL/SAT Device. Move right and select either Cable or Satellite by pressing Enter. 2. Identify the brand: In the menu options on the left, select CBL/SAT Brand. Move to the right and up or down in the alphabetical list to locate your brand. Press Enter to select that brand. 3. Select the device code: From the menu options on the left, select CBL/SAT Device Code. Move right to select the first code. Press the CBL/SAT On/Off button on your LIFESTYLE remote. Press that button again. If the Cable or Satellite box turns off and on again, you have chosen the right code. If it does not turn off, select another code, and press the CBL/SAT On/Off button two more times.* When you have chosen the right code, press the Enter button. Press the System or Exit button to leave the System menu. When you complete these settings, you can use the CBL-SAT On/Off button to turn on your Cable or Satellite source and other LIFESTYLE remote buttons to operate it.
*Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one, you may find you can turn your Cable or Satellite box on and off, but are unable to change channels or select Play or Pause. In that case, select a different device code that provides more control. 21
For VCR (or DVR) control English
The list of VCR brands and VCR codes include selections for DVRs as well. By following the instructions below, you can set the remote to control one or the other, but not both. If you have both a VCR and a DVR, setting your remote to control the DVR will provide more control options. Whether yours is a standalone DVR or is coupled with the VCR or Cable/Satellite box makes no difference. Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE System menu, refer to Using System Menus on page 29. Follow the process below: Turn on your VCR or DVR. Turn on the TV and be sure to select the Video input on the TV for the media center. Then, using the LIFESTYLE remote control, press the VCR source button and follow the steps below. 1. Identify the brand. From the Remote Control options in the System menu, select VCR Brand. Move right into the list of brands and up or down to locate your brand of VCR or DVR. Press Enter to select that brand. 2. Choose a device code: In the menu options on the left, select VCR Device Code. Move right to select the first code. Press the VCR On/Off button on your LIFESTYLE remote. Press this button again. If the VCR or DVR turns off and on again, you have chosen the right code. If the VCR or DVR does not turn off and on, select another code, and press the VCR On/Off button two more times.* When you have chosen the right code, press the Enter button. Press the System or Exit button to leave the System menu. When you complete these settings and select VCR as the source, you can now use the VCR On/Off button and press Play, Pause, or Stop to control your VCR. If you have made the remote settings for a DVR, you can also use the Seek button on the LIFESTYLE remote. On some DVRs, pressing Shuffle and Repeat buttons will allow you to skip backward or forward quickly.

Applying parental control
The parental control feature of the LIFESTYLE system lets you restrict viewing of DVD videos with certain ratings. To activate this feature, you need to set a level of restriction and establish a password in the DVD Lock section of the System menu. Your password will prevent unauthorized viewing of DVD videos that have a higher rating than your restriction level. There are 8 levels to choose from, matched to movie ratings set by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), as shown in the table on page 36.

Reference Remote control maintenance
Changing the batteries as needed is the only regular maintenance required. However, the switches inside the remote battery case may be changed, as needed. Additional remotes for use in other rooms may need their switches changed, too. For that, refer to Bose link remote switch settings on page 39.
Replacing the remote control batteries
Replace all four batteries when the remote control stops operating or its range seems reduced. Alkaline batteries are recommended. 1. 2. 3. Figure 17

Changing house code settings
Each LIFESTYLE remote control uses a house code that corresponds to the house code set in the media center, enabling the two to communicate. If another LIFESTYLE system nearby creates a conflict with your system, you can easily set a new house code in your media center and its remote control(s) with steps that follow. Using the remote control: 1. 2. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 18 on page 38). Move one or more of switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the opposite direction from its current setting. Use a paper clip, ball point pen, or similar object.
Note: DO NOT change any other switch settings. Moving other switches may disable your remote control. 3. Replace the battery cover.

Reference

Using the media center: 1. 2. Lift the media center door and press the All Off button. Press and hold the Store button. Your current house code will appear in the media center display window in the form of four rectangles, which represent the positions of switches 1 through 4: HOUSE CODE:
Switches 1 - 4 down = (current house code)
While holding the Store button, press any button on the remote control. The media center displays the new house code, which confirms its recognition of the new code: NEW HOUSE CODE:

Bose link remote switch settings
These settings are for use only with remote controls that have switches inside the battery compartment.* Make sure the house code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) match those on your main remote. For switch 5, determine if you want the room grouped with the main room (A), so it receives the same program heard there. If you do not change switch 5, the room will receive the same program stream as is heard in the main room (A). If you set switch 5 up ( ), the room will receive a different stream than the main room (A).
*For the PERSONAL music center II remote control, the settings above are made in a menu on the display screen. 39

System Installation Placing your speakers
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, they provide the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you. CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you place the center speaker on top of the television, for example, be sure to attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of that speaker. To obtain additional rubber feet, contact Bose customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system. Note: Do not place a cube or cube array speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance.
Left and right front speaker placement
To best match sound and picture, the left and right front speakers should be placed at the edge of the TV picture (Figure 3). Place each speaker up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen and line them up with the center of the TV screen. Bose recommends a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen so that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this distance based on room conditions and personal preference. The front cables allow the speakers to be placed up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass module. Rotate the top cube of each speaker array (or the single cube speaker) toward the wall or in another direction to create reflected sound. See the illustration of reflected sound patterns in Figure 4 on page 9. Figure 3
Recommended speaker locations Center Left front Right front

Left surround

Right surround
Note: If the center, left, or right front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to place them at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound.

Figure 4

Center speaker placement

The center speaker sound should seem to come directly from the center of the picture. The center speaker cable allows up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass module. 1. 2. Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of the TV screen, or at the closest convenient location. Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).
Note: If placed on top of the TV, attach the protective rubber feet to the bottom of the center speaker.
Surround speaker placement English
The rear surround speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the back half of your room. Direct both cubes of the speaker array (or your single cube speaker) away from the listeners so that they cannot pinpoint the exact location of the sound source. The surround cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance from the Acoustimass module. 1. 2. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible. Adjust the rear surround speakers to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
The longer the path from the speaker to your ear, the better. Do not direct the sound straight at the listener. Note: Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall brackets. For further information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose dealer or visit www.bose.com. To contact Bose, refer to the address sheet included with your system.
Acoustimass module placement
Note: If the serial number on the bottom of the Acoustimass module is not already printed on your Product Registration card, now is a good time to record it there and in the space provided on page 3 of this guide. Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module: Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall as the TV, or at the same end of the room as the front speakers (refer to Figure 4). Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the TV. Move it further if you still notice interference. Place the Acoustimass module so that the grille with the Bose logo faces the room or is perpendicular to the wall. This prevents blocking the sound output or creating too much bass. For best bass performance, DO NOT place the Acoustimass module at equal distances from any two walls or centered between the floor and ceiling. For convenience, you may want to slide the Acoustimass module under a table or behind a cabinet. However, DO NOT allow furniture or drapes to block its ventilation openings. CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK the slots on the end the module, which provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet.

Put any side of the Acoustimass module on the floor. DO NOT stand it on either end (Figure 6).

Figure 6

Right and wrong placements for the Acoustimass module
BEST For best ventilation, stand it on the narrow side with the connectors facing the floor.
DO NOT stand the module on its slightly curved back end, which can cause it to tip over. DO NOT stand the module on its front grille end. The weight of the module can damage the grille.
ALTERNATE Or, place it on one of the two broad sides.

Ventilation openings

Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches. CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not a short-term risk to your video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not store tapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module.
Placing your media center
Note: If the serial number on the bottom of the media center is not already printed on your Product Registration card, now is a good time to record it there and in the space provided on page 3 of this guide. Note: Sending in the product registration card, included with your system, is very important if you want to receive software updates. Be sure to fill out the card and mail it to Bose. Select a location for the media center, keeping in mind the following guidelines: Do not block the front of the media center. Allow enough room to lift up the front cover and open the CD/DVD tray. Also, be sure you have a clear view of the display window on the front of the media center (Figure 7). Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV and VCR) to allow for easy cable connections. If you need additional audio or video cables to connect your components, see your dealer or call Bose customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system. Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of the audio input cable). Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed, you may wish to place the media center where you have easy access to its rear connection panel.

Disc tray Make sure nothing blocks this CD/DVD tray as it slides open.
The IR Emitter, which enables certain remote control operation, is located here.
Connecting the speakers to the Acoustimass module
CAUTION: Before you make any connections, be sure that the media center, the Acoustimass module, and any additional equipment are not connected to AC power. Your system may have Jewel Cube speakers (image A on the left), which use a plug-in cable connect, or cube array or single cube speakers (images B and C respectively,) which use a two-wire cable. LIFESTYLE DVD systems include five speakers.

Connecting the plug-in cable to Jewel Cube speakers
Note: If your system has cube or cube array speakers, follow the instructions in Making the two-wire connections for cube or cube array speakers on page 13. The positive and negative wires of the plug-in cable are properly oriented for polarity and the plug is designed to fit only one way into the jack. 1. Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location: Front speaker cables have blue RCA connectors on one end and speaker plugs at the other end with L (left), R (right), or C (center) markings. Surround speaker cables have orange RCA connectors at one end and speaker plugs at the other end with L (left) or R (right) markings.
2. Insert the speaker plug of each cable fully into the jack on the rear of one of the five speakers. The raised part on the plug slips into a notch at the top of the jack.

Figure 8

Making the plug-in cable connection
Connect the RCA connector at the other end of each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass module (Figure 10 on page 14). Blue connectors go into the matching left front, center, and right front jacks. Orange connectors go into the matching left surround and right surround jacks.
Making the two-wire connections for cube or cube array speakers
Note: The surround speaker cables are joined together for your convenience, providing an easy-to-use cable for connecting the surround speakers. To run the cables in different directions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed. Note: To lengthen the speaker cables, use heavy-duty RCA extension cables, or splice in 18gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and to ). To purchase extension cables, see your dealer or electronics store, or call Bose customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system. In Figure 9, the wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the plain one is negative (). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals on the back of each speaker. 1. Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location. Front speaker cables have blue connectors at one end, with L (left), R (right), or C (center) molded into the connectors. A red collar on each + wire is labeled LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER. Surround speaker cables have orange connectors at one end, with L (left) or R (right) molded into the connectors. A red collar on each + wire is labeled LEFT or RIGHT.

System Installation Connecting the antennas
You should connect the additional AM and FM antennas, included with your system, to the rear panel of the media center (Figure 12). Figure 12
Connections for the AM and FM antennas Media center rear panel AM antenna lead FM dipole antenna lead
Note: The FM jack (75 ohm) can be used with an outdoor antenna. To do this, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna. CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect a television cable to the FM antenna jack.
Connecting the FM antenna
Plug the connector on the FM dipole antenna lead into the FM antenna jack. Spread out the antenna arms. Change the orientation of the antenna arms to get optimum FM reception. Place the antenna as far from the media center and other components as possible.
Connecting the AM antenna
Note: To mount the AM antenna on a wall, follow the instructions enclosed with the antenna. 1. 2. 3. Plug the connector on the AM antenna lead into the AM antenna jack. Stand the loop antenna on the base, following the instructions enclosed with the AM antenna. Move the AM loop antenna as far as possible, at least 20 inches (50 cm), from the media center, and at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the Acoustimass module. Experiment with the orientation of the loop for optimum AM reception.
Note: AM radio reception may be adversely affected by your television. For best AM reception, turn the television off.
Connecting to a cable radio provider
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your home. This connection is made to the FM antenna jack on the back panel of the media center. To connect to this service, contact your cable TV provider for assistance. Note: Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the media center. If necessary, contact a qualified installer.
System Installation Connecting your TV to the system
The instructions below show basic connections to the media center and TV. This simple set of connections will allow you to use your system quickly. Later in this guide you will find other options for connecting additional components to your system.

Making the audio connection
Using the supplied stereo audio cable, connect the left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on the rear panel of your TV to the Audio IN TV L and R on the media center rear panel (Figure 12). If the TV has both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR) outputs, use the ones for fixed output. If the setup menu for your TV allows, select Fixed in that menu. If you have a digital TV, you may connect a digital audio cable as well. This may either be a single coaxial cable with RCA connectors on each end, or an optical cable, which has a unique snap fit connector on each end. Note: It is important to provide the analog connection along with the digital, to prevent a loss of sound caused by any temporary degradation of the digital signal. Note: On the TV, be sure to notice which Video IN jack is used. In the example below, the media center Video OUT is connected to the VIDEO 1 input on the TV. In this case, use your TV remote control to select VIDEO 1 to view DVDs and see LIFESTYLE system menus. Figure 13

Media Center

Making a video connection English
On your Media Center, connect the Composite Video Out to a Video In connection on your TV. See Figure 13. Use a single cable with a yellow RCA connector on each end. Remember the connection you used on your TV, such as VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 3, because that is the video input you must select, using your TV remote, to see a DVD picture or LIFESTYLE system menus on your TV.
Selecting the proper TV video input
To view the DVDs and LIFESTYLE system menus on your TV, you will need to select the input which connects the media center to the TV. Until your LIFESTYLE remote control has been taught to control your TV, use the TV remote control. With the TV remote control, press the TV input button. It may be called TV/VIDEO, Source, or Input. You may have to press it more than once, depending on which numbered connection you used. Note: Refer to the Controlling External Sources section in your Operating Guide for information on how to set the LIFESTYLE remote to control the TV.

Remote control battery installation Four (4) AAA (IEC-LR3) batteries
Battery compartment cover
Replace all four batteries when the remote control stops operating or its range seems reduced. Alkaline batteries are recommended. Your remote control will need to be taught to control external components of your home theater, including your TV. See your Operating Guide for details.
System Installation Finishing the basic installation
Your system comes with two compact discs. Figure 17
Setup discs and AdaptiQ audio calibration system Setup Disc 1 Setup Disc 2 ADAPTiQ audio calibration system
ADAPTiQ calibration headset
Setup Disc 1 provides information about your system and verifies that your speakers are connected correctly. Setup Disc 2 leads you through the ADAPTiQ audio calibration process, which tailors the sound of your LIFESTYLE system and your speaker placement to the acoustics of your listening area. The special headset, designed to be worn above your ears, enables you to take acoustic measurements during the process. Put it on only when Disc 2 indicates. Play both discs when everything is in place and you have made all of the connections. Allow approximately 20 minutes to complete the process. You may want to do it when the acoustic measurements will not disturb anyone. Note: The 220-240V LIFESTYLE 18 Series II system includes Disc 1 only. Owners of that system do not need to follow the instructions for Disc 2 below.
Using the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system 1. Use the TV remote to turn on your television.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Figure 18
Using the AdaptiQ calibration headset
Select the video input connected to the LIFESTYLE system media center. Lift up the media center front cover and press the Open/Close button. Insert Setup Disc 1 into the tray (label side up) and press the Open/Close button again. On the remote control, press the CD/DVD button. As the disc begins to play, listen carefully and follow the instructions. You will be instructed when to play Disc 2. When Disc 2 indicates, connect the ADAPTiQ calibration headset to the AUX jacks on the connection panel of the media center as shown below.

Put on the headset so it rests above your ears for the greatest comfort during the ADAPTiQ audio calibration process. Disc 2 will explain the procedure you are to follow.
Save the headset for possible future use When you have played both discs and followed their instructions, the installation of your LIFESTYLE DVD system is complete and its performance is tailored to the placement of your system and your listening area. You may want to customize your system again if you move it to another room or significantly change the arrangement of the room by relocating furniture, the speakers, or the Acoustimass module. You can repeat the steps in Finishing the basic installation on page 21 at any time. Keep the headset and discs together in their original carton and store them in a safe location.
System Installation Installing the TV on/off sensor
The TV on/off sensor enables the system to automatically switch the TV on, as needed, when another video source (DVD, cable/satellite box, etc.) is selected. If you choose not to use the sensor, you need to turn on your TV separately. See Figure 19. Note: The TV on/off sensor is not included on LIFESTYLE systems that use SCART connectors. With larger TVs you may want a second person to help as you follow the steps below: 1. 2. 3. Plug the sensor cord connector into the TV SENSOR jack on the media center. Temporarily position the TV on/off sensor on the back of your TV as shown in Figure 19. Test the sensor and enable the feature. See Programming your LIFESTYLE system remote to control your TV in your Operating Guide. A. Turn the TV on. Press the System button on the LIFESTYLE system remote. Access Video/TV power status. B. As one person moves the sensor near the rear vent area of the TV, another person observes when TV Power Status changes from TV not detected to TV ON. C. In the menu navigate to TV Power (directly above TV Power Status). Change this from Manual to Automatic. D. You will need to select the TV brand and device code, as explained in the guide. Note: DO NOT use the mounting strip to permanently mount the sensor until you have tested and enabled this automatic feature as explained in the Operating Guide. Figure 19

Note: For a projection TV, the bottom rear of the enclosure is the best location for mounting the sensor. Front projectors that use a separate screen may need to be turned on and off manually.
Reference Using alternate video connections
This section shows you how to set up your home theater system to incorporate additional components, such as VCRs and Cable/Satellite boxes. It also explains different ways to make the connections. Make audio connections from components to the media center. There are three different types of audio connections: the analog (L and R) connection you are probably familiar with, and two types of digital connections, either a coaxial digital (single cable with RCA connectors at each end), or an optical connection. See Using digital audio connections on page 30. A composite and an S-Video connection or a single component connection can be made from the media center to the TV. Your choice of connection will depend on your preference and the type of jacks provided on your TV. Explanations and diagrams on the following pages show variations that you may use in your home theater setup. Connect other video devices directly to the TV. The remaining video connections go directly to the TV (assuming it has multiple connection jacks on its back panel). Composite video This is a standard video input on televisions. To make this connection, use the supplied Video cable (with yellow connectors) to go from the Composite Video OUT on the media center and to a video input jack on your TV. Be sure to note which jack you use on the TV. S-Video An S-Video input jack, provided on many TVs, delivers higher picture quality than composite video output. To make this connection, use the S-Video cable included with your system to connect the S-Video OUT jack on the media center and to the S-Video input on your TV. Component video If your want to use the systems progressive scan feature and your TV has component jacks, you will need to use one of the two Component video adapters provided with your system (Figure 20). This adapter takes three separate video signals (Y, Pr, and Pb) from the media center and makes them available on standard video jacks. The adapter uses both Video out jacks on the media center, so you can only make one component connection to the TV. Video-grade cables from these jacks are not supplied and you will need to purchase them separately. Note: For more information, or to purchase the video cables, contact your local electronics store or authorized Bose dealer. Figure 20
