INTRODUCTION

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a Bose^®LIFESTYLE^®DVD home entertainment system. Through

proprietary Bose technologies and innovative LIFESTYLE^®system design, this elegant and

easy-to-use system delivers superior performance for both music and video programming.

Introducing the uMusic^TMintelligent playback system

One innovative feature of your new home entertainment system – a revolutionary advance-

ment unique to this Bose product – is the uMusic^TMintelligent playback system.

You may have seen a demonstration and know how this new approach to storing and

enjoying your own CDs adds listening pleasure with so little effort.

For a detailed explanation

If you have never seen or heard how this new feature works, we suggest you take a few

minutes now to review “Presenting a New Way to Play” on page 48. With that insight, you

can better explore and exploit all this system has to offer. Or, you may refer to the small,

color-coded uMusic^TMSystem Guide provided in the carton.

Clarifying some basics

You may consider yourself a dedicated audiophile or someone who simply loves music.

Regardless of your level of expertise, the explanations that follow may prove helpful in under-

standing some of the terms and technologies associated with the advanced audio and video

options available today.

Types of discs you can use with this system

Your system is engineered to play the disc types listed below, some of which are identified by

corresponding logos:

•

SACD content if it is CD-

compatible

•

Regarding copy

protection

Music and other

content may be

•

Audio CDs

– including those with DTS

•

Video CDs (VCDs)

DVD-R, DVD-RW

•

CD-R, CD-RW, or CD-ROM

protected by interna-

tional and domestic

may contain specific

restrictions on use

and/or reproduction.

Please respect the

rights of the artists

and other copyright

holders.

MP3 CDs created with:

– All tracks burned in a

single, closed session

•

Video DVDs

– Use of ISO9660 disc format

–including those with DTS

–Each file named with an

“.mp3” extension and no

other periods

–including those with Dolby

Digital

– File tags no higher than ID3

(ID3v2).

Any difficulties experienced in playing compatible CDs or DVDs may be related to the rates at

which data was recorded to the disc or to the optical characteristics of the recording device

used.

Check DVDs for region number compatibility

For a DVD disc to be compatible with a player, their respective region numbers must match.

These numbers are assigned by the geographic region where the player and disc are sold.

You can find the region number for your system on the bottom of the media center.

If you have trouble playing a DVD disc, check to see if the region number marked

on the disc label or packaging matches the region number of your system. A DVD

and media center marked for use in Region 1 should display the symbol at right.

Audio and video terms defined

Aspect ratio – An expression for the width of the picture relative to the height and seen when

as a rectangular TV image. For example, if the aspect ratio is 4:3 (read as 4 by 3), the shape of

that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The standard TV aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

NTSC – An abbreviation for National Television System Committee and the label for its !

video format standard used for televisions in the U.S. and other countries.

PAL – An acronym for the Phase Alternate Line video format used extensively in Western

Europe.

Pan & scan – The technique of reframing a picture to conform to a different aspect ratio by

cropping parts of the picture. DVD-video players can use the horizontal offset encoded with

the video on certain DVDs to automatically pan and scan widescreen video to a 4:3 ratio.

PCM – An abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation. A common form of digital audio signal.

Progressive Scan – A video format that displays all lines of the picture frame in a single pass

and refreshes the TV image 30x/sec. Not compatible with all video displays.

PVR – An abbreviation for Personal Video Recording. Sometimes used interchangeably with

DVR for Digital Video Recording but may include non-digital technology, as used in VCRs.

RF remote – A remote control that transmits commands to a device using radio frequency

(RF) signals, which have the ability to penetrate walls, unlike the infrared (IR) signals used by

many remote controls.

RDS – A system that displays radio broadcast station and programming information. This !

feature is available on European systems only.

Getting strong remote control range and response

The cord that connects the power supply to the media center contains an antenna for your

RF remote. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend this cord to its full length

and keep it away from other system cables. P!"#$%&'()*'+,-*.'/0++!1',%'()*'2!,,.3'-*!!'4*!,-'

()*'5*6$"'#*%(*.3'+0(/'()*'#,.6'$%'"'7*.($#"!',.$*%("($,%3'-)$#)'$/',+($5058

Note: Also, when using a plasma screen TV, keeping the media center power supply as far from

the TV as is practical improves remote range.

If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to

change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them,

refer to “Replacing the remote control batteries” on page 52.

In some buildings, there may be “dead spots” where remote control signals are not effective.

If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. Also make sure the cord that

connects the power supply to the media center (and contains the remote antenna) is

stretched to its full length and is separated from other power cords. If this does not help,

move the media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response.

If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an

antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the

address list included with the system.

SYSTEM OPERATION

To adjust what you hear or see

• To correct sound problems (unexpected boominess, harshness, thinness, or reverberation)

take time to run the ADAPTiQ^®audio calibration program, if you have not done so.

Note: Refer to “Making sure the sound is as good as it gets” in the Installation Guide.

• For lasting adjustment to system operation (for audio, video, media center, remote control,

or DVD lock), use the System menus. For details on the changes you can make, refer to

“Properties that you can adjust” on page 32.

• For temporary adjustments to the particular source playing (like the number of speakers

engaged or the turn-off timer setting), use the on-screen Settings menus. For details on the

changes you can make, refer to “Quick adjustments as you watch or listen” on page 43.

To enjoy remarkable new LIFESTYLE^!system features

You can use many features of your LIFESTYLE^®system as soon as it is installed and the

setup is verified by the two discs that are included with it.

But the revolutionary uMusic^™intelligent playback system requires that CD tracks are stored

in the system before you can use it. To get the most impact from this feature, you need at

least 20 discs stored. Before you begin storing, you may want to refer to the small, color-

coded uMusic^TMSystem Guide provided in the carton.

Storing one disc is very simple:

• Place the CD into the disc tray of the media center and close the tray.

• Press the Store button, located on the media center control panel.

Note: To store additional CDs, you may want some guidelines and more details. Refer to

“Getting your music into the system,” below.

To further understand your options for identifying and playing the tracks you store, be sure !

to read “Check in at your Music Library” on page 19 and “How the uMusic™ intelligent

playback system works for you” on page 50.

Enjoying your stored music

The uMusic intelligent playback system provides a refreshing new means to enjoy the music

you own on CD. Before you use it, you can read the overview of its capabilities in “Presenting

a New Way to Play” on page 48.

Note: This feature functions only after CDs have been stored in the system, as described below.

Instructions for selecting and playing stored music refer to buttons on the LIFESTYLE^®

remote control unless otherwise specified.

Getting your music into the system

Before you can enjoy these benefits, some preparation is required. It involves use of the

media center and a simple three-step procedure for storing your music.

Note: Your system is designed to store the tracks of regular CDs only. It will not store MP3

tracks or the contents of DVDs. If an inappropriate disc type is in the disc tray when the Store

button is pressed, the media center displays an error message to indicate that storage is not

possible.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Here’s how to begin:

1. Place the first CD into the disc tray of the media center and close the tray.

2. Press the Store button, located on the media center control panel.

• During this process, the media center displays the message CD STORING and shows

what percentage of the task is completed.

• To interrupt or stop the storing activity at any time, simply open the disc tray.

• To resume storing the same disc, close the tray and press the Store button again.

3. When it reaches 100% and displays the text AUDIO CD STORED, remove the disc and

repeat steps 1-3 for each additional CD.

Storing takes about 5 minutes per disc. For more details, see “Planning time to store your

music” on page 49.

The basics of your uMusic intelligent playback system

1. Press Stored to select the stored music source. If the system is off, this will turn it on in

the uMusic^™system mode. It begins with the last-used preset.

2. Now you can simply sit back and listen, or make other choices:

• Press any number button, 1 through 9, to choose a different preset.

• Press

–

or rating buttons if you have a particularly strong reaction to a selection.

Note: Pressing

ately to a new track. Use this rating when you hear a track that is inappropriate for the selected

preset and you want to lessen your chance of hearing the track again. Pressing sends a strong

–

registers your displeasure with the current track, so the system moves immedi-

message that the current track is pleasing and music like it is appropriate for the selected preset.

• Press Encore to hear only music similar to the piece playing. !

The system checks the music databases and selects only those tracks in your !

collection with very similar attributes, so you can count on it to mirror that mood.

• Press Whole CD to hear the other tracks, in the order arranged, on the same CD.

• Press CD#, followed by its reference number, to move to a specific CD and hear all the

tracks on it.

Note: You can refer to the log at the back of the book (if you have noted your CDs there as you

stored them) to quickly locate the reference number for a CD you want to hear.

“Stored CDs settings options” on page 45. Instructions on how to enter the menu to make these

changes are available in “How to change the settings” on page 44.

Making sure you hear what you like

Enjoying the broad selection of your private music collection in powerful, lifelike multi-

speaker performance is the primary benefit of your uMusic intelligent playback system.

Yet this system provides the means for you to narrow its selections to better satisfy the !

different facets of your personality.

Set up presets for each listener right away

To get the very most from this sophisticated, multi-faceted feature, you need to set up and

use the stored music presets reserved for this purpose.

A stored music preset is where listening preferences for different people, activities, or moods

get recorded over time. Consider each one as a different “station” that you tune to so the !

system can “listen” and learn about your taste.

Note: If several people in your household have stored music on the system, it is particularly

important that they have their own presets. This helps the system differentiate preferences and

prevents it from replaying music you do not want to hear.

When you first select Stored as your source, the system automatically enters Preset 1, shown

on the media center display as P1 (Figure 4). Or, if you used another preset recently, the !

system may select that preset for you.

SYSTEM OPERATION

With CDs already stored in the system, use the preset you prefer to get started:

1. Press Stored on your LIFESTYLE^®remote.

2. Check the media center display to see which play mode is selected.

• If it says UMUSIC, you are ready to listen and enjoy.

• If it says ENCORE, CD#, PLAYLIST, or WHOLE CD, press uMusic on the remote to get the

system out of the special play mode.

3. Just listen for a while.

Notice there’s no identifiable order to what plays: not by CDs that were stored first, nor by

common artist or genre. It’s more like a freewheeling stream of tracks you may or may not

have heard recently.

4. While in Stored source, pressing a numbered button – from 2 to 9 – moves into a differ-

ent preset. The music playing will change when this happens.

Note: You can give each preset a name, up to eight letters long, for the person or reason for

using it. For details on how to do this, refer to “Media center options” on page 38.

Train your preset

If you hear a piece you don’t like or are not in the mood for:

• Move on by pressing

. !

The system begins to play the next track, notes that you may not be in the mood for this

one now, and prepares to learn more.

• Press the rating button if the track playing is just not right for this preset. !

–

The system logs your strongly negative response and moves to another track immediately.

If a track stands out as a real favorite:

• Press the rating button.!

The system logs your response as positive and continues playing the track. You are likely to

hear more music from that artist and album sooner than some others.

If you want to train your preset more quickly:

• Press Library, so you can look through music stored on the system and rate it by genre, artist,

track, or entire CD.

Note: For details on using the Music Library, refer to “Check in at your Music Library” on

page 19.

Use the Playlist to line up tracks for play

The system includes a ready-to-use playlist, so you can line up specific tracks in the order

you choose and play them on command.

Note: If you simply want music to set a certain ambiance, you may find it easier to choose a

preset and let the system do the selecting.

The playlist can be useful when you want a very specific type of music, your holiday favorites,

for example. You can also use it when you want certain tracks to play in a specific order.

To add music to the Playlist:

• While listening to a track in Stored source (and not in Playlist), press and hold Playlist on the

remote.

• Locate selections using the Music Library, then press and hold Playlist to add them to a !

Playlist one by one. Or, you can easily add a whole batch of selections by one artist, a

genre, or from one CD.

Check in at your Music Library

Imagine: while using your LIFESTYLE^®system, you hear music – on FM, or perhaps the score

of a movie – and suddenly you think of another song you want to hear. You know you own it,

though the name eludes you. But it won’t stop running through your head.

This is a perfect scenario for using the Music Library. If your system is turned on and the

Stored source is selected:

1. Press Library on the remote to see your choices for locating a track.

• The initial library information appears on the media center display (Figure 5).

CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES

Using your LIFESTYLE remote with other components

You can control most brands of external components – such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes,

and VCR/DVRs – using your LIFESTYLE^®remote control. After you make the proper menu

selections for each component you want to control, the LIFESTYLE^®remote serves as a !

universal remote for most of your component operations.

Setting the remote to control each component

Your LIFESTYLE^®system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front

of the music center to each component that your LIFESTYLE^®remote is set to control. This

allows you to turn on those sources (which are in the room with the media center) and make

basic selections from them. The additional components may be connected either to the

media center or to the TV.

It may take more than one try

Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one code, your

remote may turn your TV, cable or satellite box, or VCR on and off successfully. However, !

if you cannot change channels or initiate other features using the remote, you may want to

continue testing device codes until you find one that provides greater control.

After trying a few codes, if your component still does not respond, reposition the component

slightly.

Note: IR signals must reach each component for a reliable test of the IR code settings. A good

way to succeed is by using the supplied IR emitter cable, positioning it in front of each compo-

nent as you use the LIFESTYLE^®remote to turn it on and off. If you have not yet installed the

emitter, see “IR emitter cable as an option” in your Installation Guide.

For TV control

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE^®System menu, refer to “Using System

Menus” on page 32.

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. Press TV to select the TV source.

2. Press System. The System menu will appear on the TV screen (Figure 10).

3. Move across the properties to Remote Control to preview these menu options.

4. Press the down arrow or Enter to move into that menu.

USING SYSTEM MENUS

Properties that you can adjust

Adjustments to system properties are typically those you make only once. If your system

already operates just as you want, there is no need to make such adjustments.

However, for some installation options, changes to the System menu may be required. This is

simply to make the system fully compatible and convenient for your setup.

One example is the adjustments made so the remote control works with any components

that are externally connected to the system.

How to enter the System menu

By pressing the System button on the LIFESTYLE^®remote control, you call up the System

menu. This menu appears on your TV screen only, not on the media center display.

However, if you do NOT see this menu:

• Make sure your TV is turned on.

• Make sure to select the TV Video Input used to connect to the media center.

Note: If you recorded the TV Video Input information on the form in your Installation Guide, refer

to that form as needed.

• Press System on the LIFESTYLE^®remote control, as needed.

What it shows you

When the System menu appears, the first property on the left (Audio) is prominent, and the

preview screen displays those property features. However, as you move across to the right,

different properties become prominent.

At the far right, you reach the DVD Lock property and its preview list of features (Figure 14).

Note: Entering the System menu causes any DVD or VCD that is playing to pause.

PRESENTING A NEW WAY TO PLAY

What makes this LIFESTYLE system uniquely yours

The CDs you have amassed over the years are an expression of your taste in music. The ones

you play on a regular basis provide a window into your style and moods. And the tracks you

most enjoy when feeling tired, exuberant, social, or soulful exemplify these moods.

You may have chosen your LIFESTYLE^®system because it captures these subtleties with a

™

breakthrough new feature: the uMusic intelligent playback system. Enabled by proprietary

Bose^®technology, it transforms your system into a virtual DJ, capable of playing a continuous

stream of the music you most enjoy and adapting to your preferences as they change.

Not only does it store your personal CD collection, but the uMusic intelligent playback system

also provides a revolutionary new approach to hearing your music.

It offers immediate access and uninterrupted play, so you can enjoy far more of your favorite

music, even the tracks you’ve forgotten you own. And, as if it is listening along with you, the

system learns to play more and more of what you prefer...for customized listening pleasure.

Underlying this new feature is the capacity to store all of the tracks from hundreds of your

CDs in the system. The actual quantity depends on the number and length of tracks on each

CD. Used as a personal music library, this feature saves you the time spent physically arrang-

ing and searching through your collection.

How you can tell the system to “Do as I do”

That’s right, you get to instruct this new music system to play what you want, when you !

want it.

But giving it instructions requires very little effort. Just react to your stored music as it plays

and count on this system to pay attention.

Don’t be concerned about doing it right, either, because anything you do is undo-able. For

instance, pressing Encore tells the system to search the database for music with characteristics

that closely match what’s playing now. This choice gets the system to narrow its focus of

selections, in response to your command. But whenever you press the uMusic button again,

you’ll notice the system returns to selecting from a broader range of your collection.

Even pressing the (negative)rating button does not banish a track forever. It tells the system

–

to move on because this particular track is not right for this time of day, this activity, this

selected preset, or the person who’s listening.

Pressing the (positive) rating button has the opposite effect: the system learns that you !

particularly like the track playing. Not that every track you like requires a + rating. But you can

provide this nudge when the track you hear is really special.

Over time, the system adjusts the type of music it plays when your preset is selected, in

response to your previous reactions. And you don’t need to worry that a response you make

now will be stored permanently. Your early choices and decisions are easily overridden, if you

like. So don’t hesitate to tell the system just what you think now. Feel free to experiment, and

enjoy your musical mood.

Whatever that mood is, letting it be known helps the system come closer and closer to !

playing exactly what you’d choose...if you still had to.

Tips for storing music

• It is not necessary to have the system turned on while storing.

• Begin storing your favorite CDs first, for the best introductory taste of what the uMusic !

system can do.

• It is not necessary to store CDs alphabetically.

PRESENTING A NEW WAY TO PLAY

• Using the log pages at the back of this guide is one way to track the order of the CDs you

store. Or you can rely on the system Library to keep the list for you.

• Allow the system a little time to learn the choices you would make. But don’t worry, this

“DJ” is a fast learner.

• After the tracks on a CD are stored, any of them can be deleted. You can do this in the !

System menu, under Stored CDs.

Note: For information on how to use the System menu, refer to “Using System Menus” on

page 32. For details on how to eliminate tracks, refer to “DVD settings options” on page 46.

Planning time to store your music

Storing entails two actions: placing the tracks from each CD in a holding area and processing

the tracks for efficient storage. This frees up the holding area. While the holding area is !

temporarily full, no more storage is possible. As an indicator, the media center displays the

message: BUSY PROCESSING CDS.

If you turn off the system, this processing goes faster. If you choose to use the system while it

is processing, the storing activity continues, but it may take a little longer.

If your CD collection is extensive, plan on several sessions to store all the tracks. Consider

the guidelines below for scheduling these sessions.

How much time to allow for storing CDs

• For storing 10 discs: 1 hour, although CDs that are damaged or need cleaning take longer.*!

(Allow about 5 minutes per disc, with some time for inserting and removing each disc.)

• For processing (searching databases and cataloging all the tracks) 10 discs: 6 hours, while

the system is turned off.

How many CDs you can store

• Using the AV 38 media center (indicated on the bottom): approximately 200 hours of music

or well over 200 CDs.

• Using the AV 48 media center (indicated on the bottom): approximately 340 hours of music

or well over 350 CDs.

What you can listen to while storing CDs

• You can listen to the AM or FM radio tuner, other CD tracks that are already stored, or other

sources connected to the system, like your TV (an analog connection is required).

• You cannot listen to the CD that is being stored, or watch a DVD using the media center

disc tray.

• As soon as the media center displays 100%, you can listen to the CD you have just stored

(using the CD player or Stored as the source), or you can replace the CD with a DVD and

watch a video.

• If your setup includes a Bose^®link network, you can continue to listen to the system in

other rooms, too.

• You may notice some minor interruptions to the audio temporarily. But, if you have the

source connected using both digital and analog cables, you can still enjoy listening to it.

*If you notice one disc taking considerably longer to store, it may need to be cleaned. Refer to

“Cleaning discs” on page 55.

PRESENTING A NEW WAY TO PLAY

How the uMusic intelligent playback system works for you

We know that the time spent sorting through CDs to locate the tracks you prefer simply

delays your listening pleasure. Now, almost instantaneously, the uMusic^TMsystem can do that

job for you: finding and playing what you most want to hear.

Why presets are important

The uMusic system provides Presets 1 through 9, ready and waiting to provide each member

of your household a private space for their personal listening preferences.

By using an exclusive preset, each listener helps this intelligent system distinguish their!

individual reactions to what it plays. Consider each preset a center point for that person’s

musical taste. Over time, the center may shift, as changes in taste and listening habits are

noted by the preset.

Feel free to assign the presets as you like, give each one a name, and press just one button

on the remote to switch quickly from one to another. Consider the benefits of reserving a !

preset for:

• Different members of your family, different roommates, different generations. !

For the preset selected, both the number and its name, if any, appear on the media center

display to help you keep the assignments straight.

Note: If several family members store their CD tracks on the system, be sure each one has an

assigned preset and uses that preset when listening.

• Different listening times or frames of mind: wake-up, workout, weekends, homework, yard

work, craft work, etc. For smaller households, it makes sense to change presets for differ-

ent activities during your day.

Just remember that no preset is locked into its assignment. At any time, you can completely

clear the memory of a stored music preset and reassign it to another person or purpose. It’s

strictly your choice. And you are free to use one and only one preset forever, if that’s what you

prefer.

Switch from one to another easily

Pressing one or two buttons is all it takes.

• If you are not yet in the uMusic system mode, press the remote control Stored button to get

there.

• While in the uMusic system mode, press a number button, from 1 to 9, to activate one of

the presets.

Use the selection and rating buttons as you like

With your preset selected, do what you normally do while listening:

• Let the track play to its conclusion if you don’t want to take any action. Or,

• Press the Seek button to move on to the next track if you like. Or,

• Press Repeat for any tracks you want to hear again. Or,

• Use the

and buttons to rate tracks you react to strongly.

–

No matter which of the above actions you take while listening, the system continues to select

from the entire contents of your stored music. Your preset keeps track of these responses, so

the system learns to play certain music more or less often. Yet, for tracks you rate negatively,

a small chance remains that you will hear that music in the future. Only by deleting a track

from the system can you ensure it will never play again.

Note: To name a preset, or delete a track from the system, select the appropriate option from

the System menu. For more information, refer to “DVD settings options” on page 46.

PRESENTING A NEW WAY TO PLAY

Take advantage of the system intelligence

As it stores and processes the tracks from your CDs, this system draws information about the

tracks from internal music databases. This data includes the name of each track, performing

artist, style of music (genre), and other meaningful information that helps characterize the

music you enjoy.

As a further benefit, Bose issues update discs to keep the music databases current. So even

your newest CD acquisitions will have this information available.

Sending in the Product Registration card included with your system is "#$%&'()*$+,-+!

;</'$%6$#"(*6',%'1,0.'#".63'1,0'5"1'4*'"4!*'(,'.*&$/(*.',%!$%*'$%/(*"68=

>/$%&'*$()*.'5*(),6'$6*%($2$*/'1,0'"/'()*'/1/(*5',-%*.'-),'/),0!6'

.*#*$7*'"%1'database or software updates.

Data on each disc copies to the system

automatically, when inserted

in the disc tray.

Be sure to fill out your card, or the online form, and return it to Bose.

Beyond just storing this data for your use, the system also allows you to edit it to better

reflect your associations with the music. For instance, if the embedded data classifies a CD

as “World” music, and you consider it part of your Latin collection, you can simply change the

genre of that CD. For any CDs not covered by the database (created at home or non-!

commercially produced), the system allows you to add information about that music to make

sure it displays as you like.

For details on what information can be added or changed and how to make these changes,

refer to “DVD settings options” on page 46.

System maintenance

Changing batteries is the only regular maintenance required.

However, switches inside the remote battery case can be changed, as needed (to select a !

new house code, for example). Similar changes may be required for any additional remotes,

purchased for use in other rooms.

Note: For further information on switch settings refer to “Changing remote control switch

settings” below.

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. Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote (Figure 25).

2. Insert four AAA or IEC-LR3 1.5V batteries, or the equivalent, as shown. Match the + !

and – symbols on the batteries with the + and – markings inside the compartment.

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.

Changing remote control switch 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. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches !

(Figure 26 on page 53).

2. 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.

Setting up a second room with sound

Your LIFESTYLE^®DVD home entertainment system can direct sound to more than one room

at the same time. What’s more, it can direct the audio from two different sound sources (such

as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to these rooms through two independent audio streams.

In additional rooms where you have speakers (beyond the main room where the media center

is located), you can choose to listen to either of the two audio streams. So, when music is

playing in the main room, listeners in other rooms can enjoy that same music or an entirely

different audio source from the system, for true independence.

Capable of supplying up to 14 additional rooms with Bose^®quality sound, one LIFESTYLE^®

system can fill your entire living space with music.

Bose link-compatible products make it easy

As an option to provide sound throughout your home (or even outdoors), the Bose^®link !

network connects all the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent quality for

use in other rooms.

These include: the Bose link AL8 homewide wireless audio link. You can use it with the Wave^®

music system, 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GS Series II systems, the LIFESTYLE^®!

RoomMate^®powered speakers, and other unpowered speakers for indoors or out. We also

offer amplifiers of different power ratings, plus the proper cables and adapters to connect it

all together.

With the purchase of a Bose^®link remote control for each additional room, managing your

whole-house music system becomes quick and easy. It’s a simple matter to preset each

remote for the room where it will be used and for the audio stream you want it to receive.

For added versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL^®music center II to control the sound

in your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams

instantly, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is currently

playing and what other listening options you have.

Regardless of which ones you choose, each Bose link-compatible product includes detailed

instructions for adding it to your LIFESTYLE^®DVD home entertainment system.

For more information on your options, or to purchase additional equipment, contact your

local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with !

your system.

Bose^®link remote switch settings

These settings apply only to remote controls

with battery compartment switches.*

• House code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) must

match those on your main remote.

• Consider your choices for Switch 5:

Change the switch so the expansion room

shares the audio stream heard in the main

room (A).

Leave the switch unchanged, so the

expansion room receives a different audio

stream from the main room (A).

• Room code switches (6, 7, 8, and 9) must

be unique to each new remote, unless for

use in the main room (A) along with the

primary remote.

*For a PERSONAL^®music center II, you

make these settings in a menu on the!

Protecting and caring for your system

Follow the guidelines below when cleaning the surfaces.

• Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or

abrasives.

• Do not use any sprays near the system.

Cleaning the media center

Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the media center.

Cleaning the speakers

Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft, damp cloth. You can use an ammonia-free

window cleaner on a soft cloth to maintain the finish.

The speaker grille panels require no special care, although you may vacuum them carefully, if

necessary.

Cleaning discs

Handle discs by their edges to prevent fingerprints and scratches (Figure 27). Do not write on

or attach labels to the surface of the disc.

• To remove stains or fingerprints from the surface of a disc, use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth.

Wipe in straight movements from the center of the disc to the outside. Do not use any

chemical products; they can damage the disc.

• To minimize exposure to dust and dirt, replace discs in their cases after use. Store each

disc in its case, out of direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.
