Introduction
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® home entertainment system. With this accessory installed, a single button press selects the source video and audio at the same time.
Features and benefits
- Incorporates HDMI™ (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.
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the VS-2 video enhancer. Check to be sure your system includes the parts shown on this page. Save all packing materials in case you need to repack and transport your product.
If any part of the product appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer immediately. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included in the carton.
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children.
Finding a location for the VS-2
You can position the VS-2 on a shelf behind your media center or behind your TV, or you can mount it on the back of an entertainment center or on a wall. To mount it on a wall, see "Mounting Your VS-2 on a Wall" on page 20.
If you need additional cables
Your VS-2 includes one HDMI-to-HDMI video cable, but you may need additional cables to set up the VS-2 with your LIFESTYLE® system. To determine if you need any additional cables, please read this guide before you begin the actual setup. You can purchase additional cables from your Bose dealer or local electronics retailer.
For your records
Now is a good time to find the serial number on the bottom of the VS-2 video enhancer. Please record it here. This provides easy access to this number if you ever need to contact Bose Customer Service.

Dealer name: Dealer phone:
Please keep your sales receipt with this owner's guide.
Connecting the VS-2 to Your Media Center
Preparation
When setting up a LIFESTYLE® system with the VS-2, the media center power supply plugs into the VS-2 instead of the media center.
- If you are setting up the VS-2 and your LIFESTYLE® system at the same time, find the media center power supply in the LIFESTYLE system carton before you begin.
- If you are adding the VS-2 to an existing LIFESTYLE® system, turn off your LIFESTYLE system, wait 30 seconds, and unplug the media center power supply from the wall outlet. Then, disconnect the power supply from the rear panel of the media center. Also, remove any video cables from the Video OUT and Video IN connectors on the media center.
Connecting the VS-2 to your media center
- Connect the 4-connector end of the VS-2 cable to your media center:
① Insert the Serial Data plug into the Serial Data connector.
② Insert the DC Power plug into the DC Power connector.
③ Insert the Composite plug into the Composite Video OUT connector.
④ Insert the S-Video plug into the S-Video OUT connector. - Connect the other end of the VS-2 cable to the VS-2 end panel:
⑤ Insert multi-pin plug into the Media Center connector.
⑥ Insert the DC Power plug into the DC POWER Out connector. - Connect the media center power supply to the end panel of the VS-2:
⑦ Insert the DC power cable from the media center power supply into the DC POWER In connector.
Note: Straighten the DC power cord from the media center power supply and from the VS-2 to the media center as much as possible. This cord is used as the antenna for your LIFESTYLE® system remote control.
WARNING: The VS-2 must be used only with the media center power supply that came with your LIFESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system.
Identifying your TV connectors
Your TV may have some or all of the video input connectors shown on the right. Each type of video connector provides a different level of video image quality.

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 “New System menu items” on page 17). 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.
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.
