Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle powered speaker system  
®
Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle speakers:  
Place the left and right speakers in their respective locations in your room. You can put these  
compact speakers in just about any room and location, such as a bookcase, desk, or in your  
kitchen. Be sure to place them close to an AC power (mains) outlet. To avoid interference  
with your TV picture, allow at least 9 inches (23 cm) of clearance between the speakers and  
the TV screen. Optional Bose ceiling and wall-mount brackets offer even greater placement  
flexibility. See page 15 for details.  
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of  
children.  
CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the  
speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished  
wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain  
rubber feet (PN 178321-04) free of charge from Bose. Contact Bose customer service for  
more information.  
Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front  
edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the  
sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Connecting the Lifestyle powered speakers to each other  
®
Follow the steps below to connect your Lifestyle powered speakers to each other:  
1. Connect the speaker wire  
The wire marked with the red collar is positive (+) and the ribbed wire is negative ().  
These wires correspond respectively to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals  
on the back of the speakers.  
As illustrated in Figure 3, connect the positive and negative conductors at one end of  
the speaker wire to the corresponding positive and negative terminals on the LEFT  
speaker. Connect the other end of the wire to the RIGHT speaker. To do so, simply push  
down the tab at the bottom of each terminal, insert the bare end of the conductor into  
the hole, and release the tab to secure the wire in place.  
2. Check your connections  
Make sure the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative  
(to ). Incorrect wiring will affect stereo imaging. Also, check to make sure that no  
strands of wire from any terminal are brushing against any other terminal. Such  
®
bridgedwires create short circuits that may damage your Lifestyle powered speaker  
system.

Connecting the speakers  
Connecting the speakers to another music source  
®
If you will be connecting your Lifestyle powered speaker system to a CD player, DVD player,  
cassette deck, or other music source, follow these instructions:  
1. Unplug the music source from the AC power (mains) outlet.  
2. Insert the red and black plugs from the left speakers input cable into the left and right  
audio outputs of the music source (Figure 4).  
3. If you wish to locate the speakers farther away from the music source, use the supplied  
50-foot extension cable as follows:  
a. Insert the red and black plugs from the powered (left) speakers input cable into the  
corresponding red and black jacks on one end of the 50-foot extension cable.  
b. Insert the red and black plugs on the other end of the extension cable into the RIGHT  
and LEFT outputs of the source. Portable CD players often use a 3.5 mm stereo  
headphone jack, instead of the RCA jacks found on larger components. If this is the  
®
case, you can use an adapter, available from your Bose dealer.  
4. Turn the volume control on the left speaker all the way down (counterclockwise). Plug the  
®
music source and the Lifestyle powered speaker system into the AC power (mains)  
outlet.  
5. Set the volume control to the two-oclock position and turn on your music.

Connecting the speakers  
Operating tips  
The volume control (located on the front of the left speaker) should be used in addition to the  
volume control on your Lifestyle music center (or other source). It is particularly convenient  
®
when your music source has no remote control or when the remote control has been re-  
moved from your listening area. To increase volume, turn the control clockwise. To decrease  
volume, turn the control counterclockwise.  
The following suggestions are provided to help you get the most enjoyment out of your  
system:  
Starting your musical selection – When the music begins to play, slowly increase the  
volume of the music source to the desired level. Use the volume control on the left speaker if  
any further adjustment is desired.  
When the music is over – It is a good idea to turn the volume control all the way to the left  
®
when you have finished listening to your Lifestyle powered speaker system. This will prevent  
you from accidentally playing music to an empty room. Just remember to return the control  
to the two-oclock position before you use the speakers again.  
®
If the system is not to be used for an extended period – Unplug the Lifestyle powered  
speaker system from the wall outlet.  
®
Adjusting tone – The Lifestyle powered speaker system incorporates an optimized, preset  
equalizer for proper bass and treble balance. This tone setting cannot be adjusted. However,  
any tone controls on the source unit can be used when the source unit is playing through the  
Lifestyle® powered speaker system.  
Troubleshooting  
Problem  
What to do  
System doesnt play at all  
Check power cord and connections. It may be unplugged or improperly connected.  
On models equipped with a power switch, make sure the switch is in the on (I) position.  
Increase volume on the speaker from the main system.  
No sound when system  
is plugged in  
The source component is not properly connected to the system; check connections.  
Make sure the source is operating properly (CD has been installed, batteries are  
working, etc.).  
Check volume controls.  
Only one speaker plays  
The accessory (RIGHT) speaker may be improperly connected. Check connection, wires,  
and terminals.  
Sound is too loud/distorted  
The source components volume may be too high. Turn the source volume down, and use  
the volume control on the Lifestyle® powered speaker system.  
Diminished bass  
Hear only static  
Accessory (RIGHT) speaker wire connections may be reversed. Check connections.  
®
Check 3-foot adapter cable. If you are using a Lifestyle DVD system, make sure the 3-foot  
adapter cable plugged into the media center reads FIX on the mini-DIN end.  
Customer Service  
®
For additional help in solving problems, contact Bose customer service. Refer to the  
address list enclosed in the product packaging for correct phone numbers.
