About your LIFESTYLE® VS-2 video enhancer

The LIFESTYLE® VS-2 video enhancer allows you to connect more than one audio/video device to your LIFESTYLE single button press selects the source video and audio at the same time.

Features and benefits

•Incorporates HDMITM (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) technology to help maximize your home theater experience.

• Provides HDMI, component, S-Video, and composite video connections for your TV, cable/satellite box, VCR, or other A/V input devices.

• Converts lower-quality video input formats (composite or S-Video) up to higher quality video output formats (component and HDMI).

• Compatible with HDTV and progressive scan TV formats.

How it fits into your LIFESTYLE® system

Video outputs from all your A/V devices, such as your cable/satellite box and VCR, connect to the VS-2, but the audio outputs from these devices connect to the media center. The VS-2 video output connects to your TV. When you select a source, such as your cable box (CBL•SAT), the media center selects the cable box audio and directs the VS-2 to pass the cable box video through to your TV.

IMPORTANT: Software update required!

Your VS-2 comes with a software update disc. After setting up the VS-2, you must load this CD into the media center disc player and allow it to update your system. Refer to “Updating the system software” on page 17.

Switching sources

Adding the VS-2 to your system setup greatly simplifies source selection. Just press the remote button (CD/DVD, VCR, CBL•SAT, or AUX) for the source you want to use. If you select one of the sources connected to the VS-2, be sure the source is turned on.

Selecting TV channels

When the VS-2 is connected to your LIFESTYLE® system, the remote changes channels on the source selected by the TV Control setting (CBL•SAT, VCR, TV, or AUX) in the System menu under Remote Control options. This means that when you select the TV source on the remote, you see and hear the TV channel coming from your TV Control selection. For example, if you set TV control to CBL•SAT and press the TV source button on your remote, you will see and hear the program on the selected channel of your cable or satellite box.

If TV Control is set to TV (default setting), your TV screen goes blank when selecting the TV source unless you enable the Persistent Video option (see If your TV screen is blank, the media center displays CHOOSE TV INPUT to remind you to select the correct video input on your TV.

“New System menu items” on page 17).

Watching video from one source while listening to audio from another

Normally, when you switch to an audio source from a video source, your TV screen goes blank. To change this so the video source remains on your TV screen, go to the System menu and change the Persistent Video option setting to Enabled.

Enabling Persistent Video allows you to continue viewing the video portion of a program while listening to the audio from another source, such as FM or AM radio. For example, you can watch a ball game on your TV while listening to the broadcast audio of the same ball game from a local radio station.

VIGTIGE SIKKERHEDSINSTRUKTIONER

English

1. Læs disse instruktioner.

2. Gem disse instruktioner – til senere brug.

3. Læg mærke til alle advarsler – på produktet og i brugervejledningen.

4. Følg alle instruktioner.

5. Anvend ikke dette apparat i nærheden af vand – anvend ikke dette produkt i

nærheden af et badekar, en håndvask el.lign. Anvend heller ikke apparatet i en fugtig kælder, i nærheden af en swimmingpool eller noget andet sted, hvor der er vand og fugtighed.

6. Rengør kun med en tør klud – og som angivet af Bose Corporation. Tag stikket ud af stikkontakten, inden produktet rengøres.

7. Undgå at blokere ventilationsåbningerne. Installer i overensstemmelse med producentens instruktioner – for at sikre pålidelig funktion og beskyttelse mod

overophedning skal produktet anbringes i en position og på et sted, der ikke hindrer korrekt ventilation. Placer f.eks. ikke produktet på en seng, en sofa eller en lignende overflade, der kan blokere ventilationsåbningerne. Placer ikke produktet i et indbygget system som f.eks. en bogreol eller et skab, hvor luften ikke kan strømme gennem ventilationsåbningerne.

8. Installer ikke produktet i nærheden af varmekilder såsom radiatorer, varmeovne, komfurer eller andre apparater (herunder forstærkere), der frembringer varme.

9. Omgå ikke sikkerheden ved brug af et ikke-jordforbundet eller ikkepolariseret stik. Et polariseret stik har to ben, hvor det ene er bredere end det andet. Et jordforbundet stik har to ben og et tredje jordben. Det brede ben eller tredje ben er der for din sikkerhed. Hvis det medfølgende stik ikke passer i stikkontakten, skal du kontakte en elektriker for at få stikkontakten udskiftet.

10. Beskyt netledningen mod at blive trådt på eller klemt, specielt ved stikket, stikkontakter, og hvor den kommer ud af apparatet.

11. Brug kun tilslutningsudstyr/tilbehør, der er angivet af producenten.

12. Brug kun apparatet sammen med en vogn, et stativ, et beslag eller et bord, der er angivet af producenten eller solgt sammen med apparatet. Når der anvendes en vogn, skal der udvises forsigtighed ved kørsel med vogn/apparat, så det ikke vælter.

13. Afbryd strømforsyningen til apparatet under tordenvejr, eller når det ikke skal bruges i en længere periode – for at forhindre skade

på produktet.

14. Overlad al servicering til kvalificeret servicepersonale. Et serviceeftersyn er påkrævet, når apparatet på nogen måde er beskadiget – hvis f.eks. netledningen eller strømstikket er beskadiget, der er blevet spildt væske eller kommet genstande ind i apparatet, hvis apparatet er blevet udsat for regn eller fugt, ikke virker normalt eller er blevet tabt – forsøg ikke at servicere dette

produkt selv. Åbning eller fjernelse af låget kan udsætte dig for farlige spændinger eller andre risici. Kontakt Bose for at få oplysninger om det nærmeste servicecenter.

15. Undgå at overbelaste stikkontakter, forlængerledninger eller indbyggede stik af hensyn til risikoen for brand eller elektrisk stød.

16. Undgå at genstande eller væske kommer ind i produktet – da dette kan komme i berøring med steder med farlige spændinger eller kortslutte dele, hvilket kan resultere i brand eller elektrisk stød.

17. Se på bagbeklædningen angående mærkater, der er relevante for sikkerheden.

Oplysninger om produkter, der genererer elektrisk støj

Dette udstyr er testet og overholder grænseværdierne for en digital enhed i Klasse B, afsnit 15 af FCC’s bestemmelser. Disse grænser er udviklet til at yde rimelig beskyttelse mod skadelig interferens i en privat installation. Dette udstyr genererer, bruger og kan udstråle radiofrekvensenergi, og kan – hvis det ikke installeres og bruges i overensstemmelse med instruktionerne – forårsage skadelig interferens i forbindelse med radiokommunikation. Dette garanterer dog ikke, at der ikke kan forekomme interferens i en særskilt installation. Hvis dette udstyr forårsager skadelig interferens i forbindelse med radio- og tv-modtagelse, hvilket kan kontrolleres ved at slukke og tænde for udstyret, opfordres du til at forsøge at eliminere interferensen via en eller flere af følgende fremgangsmåder:

• Ret modtageantennen i en anden retning, eller flyt antennen.

• Skab større afstand mellem udstyret og modtageren.

• Slut udstyret til en stikkontakt på et andet kredsløb end det, hvor modtageren er tilsluttet.

• Kontakt forhandleren eller en radio/tv-tekniker for at få hjælp.

Bemærk: Uautoriseret ændring af modtageren eller den frekvensstyrede fjernbetjening kan ophæve brugerens ret til at betjene dette udstyr.

Dette produkt overholder de canadiske ICES-003 Klasse B-specifikationer.

Om din LIFESTYLE® VS-2 videoudvider

LIFESTYLE® VS-2-videoudvideren giver dig mulighed for at tilslutte mere end ét audio/ videoapparat til dit LIFESTYLE kan du ved blot at trykke på en enkelt knap vælge kildebillede og -lyd på samme tid.

Funktioner og fordele

• Inkorporerer HDMITM-teknologi (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) for at maksimere din hjemmebiografoplevelse.

• Systemet leveres med HDMI-, komponent-, S-video- og sammesat video-tilslutning til dit tv, din kabel-/satellitmodtager, videooptager eller andre apparater til A/V-input.

• Konverterer videoindgangsformater af lavere kvalitet (sammensat eller S-Video) til videoudgangsformater af højere kvalitet (komponent og HDMI).

• Kompatibel med tv-formaterne HDTV og Progressive Scan.

Hvordan det passer ind i dit LIFESTYLE®-system

Videoudgangene fra alle dine A/V-apparater, som for eksempel din kabel-/satellitmodtager og videooptager, tilsluttes til VS-2, men lydudgangene fra disse enheder tilsluttes til mediecentret. VS-2-videoudgangen tilsluttes til dit tv. Når du vælger en kilde, som for eksempel din kabelmodtager (CBL•SAT), vælger mediecentret kabelmodtagerens lyd og får VS-2 til at sende kabelmodtagerens billede videre til dit tv.

VIGTIGT: Softwareopdatering påkrævet!

Din VS-2 leveres med en softwareopdaterings-cd. Efter opstilling af VS-2 skal du sætte denne cd ind i mediecentrets cd-afspiller og lade den opdatere dit system. Se “Opdatering af systemets software” på side 17.
