Switch from one to another easily Pressing one or two buttons is all it takes. If you are not yet in the uMusicTM mode, press the remote control Stored button to get there. While in the uMusic mode system, 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: Espaol Let the track play to its conclusion if you dont 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. Franais No matter which actions above 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 Stored CD data options on page 41.
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 very important. (As indicated on your card, you may be able to register on line, instead). Using either method identifies you as the system owner who should receive any 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, however, 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 is filed and displays as you like. For details on what information can be added or changed and how to make those changes, refer to Stored CD data options on page 41.

Note: For information on the quick adjustments you can make to Stored CD settings, refer to Stored CD setting options on page 37. Instructions on how to enter the menu to make these changes are available in How to see your options on page 34.
Discover the more advanced benefits
Franais Enjoying the broad selection of your private music collection in powerful, lifelike multispeaker 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.
Take advantage of what presets can do
To get the very most from this sophisticated, multi-faceted feature, you need to set up and use the stored music presets reserved just 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 (on a previously unused system), the system automatically enters Preset 1 (Figure 3). Or, if you used a different preset recently, the system may select that preset for you. Figure 3
Preset 1 as indicated on the music center display STORED t r a c k n a m e 2: P1 CD: 5
With CDs already stored in the system, use the preset you prefer to get started: 1. 2. Press the Stored button on your LIFESTYLE remote. 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 the uMusic button on the remote to get the system out of that special play mode.
3. Just listen for a while. Notice theres no identifiable order to what plays: not by CDs that were stored first, nor by common artist or genre. Its 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 different preset. The music playing will change when that happens. English Espaol

*For the TV to turn off automatically, the system must sense that it is on. This is contingent on your use of the supplied TV sensor. For information on installing and testing the TV sensor, refer to your LIFESTYLE system Install Guide.
Controlling External Sources Using your system remote with other components
You can control most brands of external components, such as TVs, VCRs, and cable/satellite boxes, using your LIFESTYLE remote control. You can also designate one of these components as the video tuner (channel selector) for all, to further simplify operation. Your LIFESTYLE system includes an infrared (IR) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to any component that your LIFESTYLE remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on other sources in the room and make basic selections from them, whether they are connected to the media center or to the TV. Note: If a component is located where it cannot receive these IR signals, you can use the supplied IR emitter cable with that component. For tips on getting the IR signals where they need to go, or using the optional emitter, see Connecting the optional IR emitter cable in your Installation Guide.

English Changing the batteries as needed is the only regular maintenance required. However, the switches inside the remote battery case may be changed as needed, too. Additional remotes for use in other rooms may need their switches changed, too. For that, refer to Bose link remote switch settings on page 53.
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. 2. 3. Figure 23

Changing house code 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. 2. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 24 on page 52). 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.

Reference

Using the media center: English 1. 2. Lift the media center door and press the All Off button. Press and hold the Enter button. Your current house code will appear in the media center display window in the form of four rectangles, which represent the positions of switches 1 through 4: HOUSE CODE:
Switches 1-4 down = (current house code)
While holding the Enter button, press any button on the remote control. The media center displays the new house code, which confirms its recognition of the new code: NEW HOUSE CODE:
(Switch 1 up, 2 down, 3 up, and 4 down = (new house code)

4. 5. Franais

Release the Enter button. The system remains off. If you have additional remote controls, change the switches to match those of the first remote control by following steps 1-3 above. You do not need to repeat steps 4-8.

Switch 5 determines what stream or program you hear. For more information on streams, refer to the next section on this page. Switches 6-9 represent the room where the remote will be used. In the main room, the remote is set as Room A with all switches down.
For a Bose link remote in another room
Switches 1-4 need to match those switch settings in your main remote. Set switches 5-9 for the room where you will use the Bose link remote.
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. Whats more, it can even direct sound from two different sound sources (such as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to these rooms through two independent streams. In other rooms with speakers (beyond the main room where the media center is located), you can choose either of two sources, for true independence. If the system is on in the main room, listeners in other rooms can enjoy the same program playing there or an entirely different program. Capable of supplying up to 14 additional rooms with Bose sound, one LIFESTYLE system can fill your entire living space with music.
Bose link compatible products simplify your decisions
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: Bose Wave radio/CD Series II or 321 Series II systems, powered speakers, and unpowered speakers for indoors or out. It also offers amplifiers of different power ratings, plus the proper cables and adapters to complete your sound system. And by purchasing a Bose link remote control for each additional room, managing your whole-house music system becomes quick and easy. Inside these remotes, one small switch allows you to predetermine which rooms, as a group, will share the main room program stream and which other room or group of rooms will hear the alternate stream. For more versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL music center II remote control in your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams without setting switches, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is playing on both streams. So it is very easy to change from one to the other, whenever you like. A Bose link symbol on the cartons (for the products mentioned above) helps simplify your selections. Regardless of which you choose, the Bose link remote control also provides detailed instructions for using these products with the 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 are for use only with remote controls that have switches inside the battery compartment.* Make sure the house code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) match those on your main remote. For switch 5, determine if you want the room grouped with the main room (A), so it receives the same program heard there. If you do not change switch 5, the room will receive the same program stream as is heard in the main room (A). If you set switch 5 up ( ), the room will receive a different stream than the main room (A).
