POWER ON/OFF CONTROLS  
Starting your system  
Turning on your TV  
Press the power button on the remote or on the  
console.  
If you programmed your remote during the initial  
setup, press the TV power button on the remote  
control to turn on your TV. Otherwise, use the  
remote that came with your TV.  
To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the system  
operates in a very low power state when in standby (off)  
mode. Because of this, the system requires several  
seconds to start. The power LED on the console  
changes to blinking green while the system starts up.  
When it changes from blinking to solid green, your  
system is on and ready to use.  
Shutting down your system  
Press the power button on the remote or on  
the control console. The system will shut down  
automatically after a few seconds. However, if  
you decide to access the power controls for  
connected devices, automatic shutdown will be  
stopped and you must complete the shutdown  
using the on-screen controls.  
Pressing the remote SOURCE button also  
starts your system and puts the SOURCE  
menu on your TV screen.  
Pressing the Setup button on the console  
also starts your system and puts the Setup  
menu on your TV screen.

stored in the control console.  
Expanding your system  
®
®
Your system is set to house code 15 at the factory.  
To see the house code, select Homewide in the  
Setup menu and then select house code. On the  
screen, you will see the house code and a  
representation of how the second room remote  
control switches should be set to match the house  
code in the control console.  
Your system has two house code modes. The  
Standard mode provides 16 house codes and  
16 room codes. If you live in a multi-unit dwelling,  
you can select the Alternative mode that provides  
64 house codes and 4 room codes.  
Your LIFESTYLE system can deliver Bose quality  
sound in up to 14 additional rooms in your home.  
Connecting a Bose link-compatible product to the  
Bose link OUT connector on the control console  
enables you to listen to a different sound source in  
other rooms. For example, a DVD movie can be playing  
in the main room while you listen to the AM/FM radio in  
the other room.  
For more information or to purchase additional  
products, contact your local Bose dealer. See the  
contact list included with your system.  
Expansion guidelines  
Note: Switching between Standard and Alternative  
house code modes resets the house code to zero (0).  
To set up a Bose link-compatible system in another  
room, follow the instructions included with the  
expansion product and be aware of the following:  
Using HDMI connections – To hear audio in  
another room from any device connected to HDMI  
input 1, 2, or 3, you must also make an analog audio  
connection between the device and the left (L) and  
right (R) analog connections for that input. Likewise,  
you must also make analog audio connections if a  
digital audio connection is made for input 4 or 5.  
Radio operation – Using an expansion room  
remote, you can select and control the radio that  
is built into the control console in the main room.  
However, if both rooms want to listen to the radio  
at the same time, they can only listen to the same  
station.  
Bose link connections – Your system cannot  
operate with Bose link-enabled products connected  
to both the Bose link IN and Bose link OUT  
connectors at the same time.  
Room codes – The speaker system and the remote  
in your other room must be set to the same room  
code. See the owner’s guide that came with the Bose  
link product for information on setting room codes.  
House code – The house code is what enables the  
remote control in another room to communicate with  
the control console. If you set up a Bose link-enabled  
speaker system in another room, the remote used in
