Expanding your system

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

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: 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 owners 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.

1. Place the center front speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or below the center of your TV screen as in the following example.
2. Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV. Keep each speaker within 3 ft (1 m) of the TV screen to prevent too much separation of the sound from the picture. Vary this distance to suit your room conditions and personal preference. If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the front edge of the shelf. If you have Jewel Cube or Direct/Reflecting cube speakers, rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.

Colored connectors

Make sure the 50 ft (15.2 m) rear speaker cables will reach from the speakers to the Acoustimass module.
5. Plug the speaker cables into the Acoustimass module connectors. Be sure to match each cable plug to each connector by the color code.
Aim the speakers away from the listeners to prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source. If you have Jewel Cube or Direct/Reflecting cube speakers, rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.

8. Connect the speaker cable to the type of speaker you have. For Jewel Cube speakers:
9. Put the Acoustimass module in its final position: Upright (BEST) or on either side (ALTERNATE).
Insert the plug into the speaker connector.

ALTERNATE

For Direct/Reflecting and Virtually Invisible single cube speakers:
With the front opening facing into the room. At least 18 in (45 cm) from any TV to avoid magnetic interference with the TV image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference. CAUTION: Do not put electronic media, such as video or audio tapes, on or next to the module for long periods of time. The magnetic field surrounding the module may erase some or all of the recorded material. CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK the ventilation openings on the module. This can cause it to overheat.
Press the button and insert the wires. Connect the red-collared wire to the red connector. Connect the other wire to the black connector. Note: The rear speaker cables for Direct/Reflecting and Virtually Invisible cube speakers are webbed together. You can pull them apart as needed.
