Video  
Video  
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.

Connecting the VS-2 to Your Media Center  
Preparation  
Media center rear panel  
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 sys-  
tem 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 cen-  
ter 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.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT OWNER  
FURNISHES THE ORIGINAL PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM AN AUTHORIZED BOSE DEALER. THE  
MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF BOSE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY

All parts defective in material and workmanship. This limited warranty for the LIFESTYLE® VS-2 Video  
Enhancer covers the functionality of the system for its normal, intended use as specified in the  
Owner’s Guide and does not cover a malfunction that has resulted from improper or unreasonable use  
or maintenance, accident, excess moisture, improper packing, lightning, power surges, or unautho-  
rized tampering, alteration or modification while not under the control of Bose. Bose® systems are not  
designed to be used in every environment, so please review your Owner’s Guide.  
WHERE PERMITTED, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER  
WRITTEN WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING ANY  
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  
Notwithstanding the above, in the United States, where applicable, if you qualify as a “consumer”  
under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed  
by law for the period of the express Limited Warranty as set forth below. Some states do not allow lim-  
itations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

IMPLIED RIGHTS OR THEIR EFFECT. IN THOSE SITUATIONS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL ONLY  
APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICABLE LAW ALLOWS. OTHER LAWS PROVIDE YOU WITH  
A STATUTORY CLAIM AGAINST THE SELLER.  
For how long:  
In countries where the duration of the warranty is not determined by statute, the Bose Limited War-  
ranty lasts one year from the purchase date. For countries where minimum warranty terms are deter-  
mined by statute, the warranty term is the longer of the statutory period or the term listed above.
