Audio/video devices include: Blu-ray Disc™ player, DVD player, VCR, camcorder, Apple® TV, cable/satellite box, etc.
There are several types of video cables to use when setting up your system. Choose from the list below and use a connector that is compatible with your TV and devices to provide the highest possible video quality.
The type of connection that you decide to make from the VS-2 video enhancer output to the TV may impact the connection types that you can use from your external device(s) into the VS-2 video enhancer. Below is a chart that explains this:
When connecting an audio/video device using the VS-2 video enhancer, you must connect the audio to the media center using the same input you use to connect the video. For example: If you connect a satellite box using HDMI to the VS-2 video enhancer through the CBL-SAT input, you must connect the audio cable through the CBL-SAT input on the back of the media center.
There are three possible output connections on your audio/video device.
If your device has all three options, choose either digital coax or optical for the best audio quality.
You must now make your audio connections from the same connected device to the Bose media center.
