    2. Attach the single-connector end of the 3-foot VAR adapter cable to one of the unused
    ROOM output jacks (B, C, D) on the rear of the multi-room interface (Figure 11).
    Connecting power to your system
    CAUTION: If you purchased a dual-voltage system, it is important that you set the speakers
    to the correct voltage. To do this, refer to “Selecting the correct voltage” on page 6.
    Follow these steps to connect power to your Acoustimass powered speaker system:
    1. Plug the power cord from the Acoustimass module into an AC power (mains) outlet.
    2. Insert the power cord of the Lifestyle
    ® system into an AC power (mains) outlet.

    Operating in more than one room
    Your Lifestyle® system Personal® music center can control up to four sets of Bose® powered
    speakers, allowing your family to enjoy four different audio sources (CD, radio, TV, etc.) in up
    to four rooms. These rooms are referred to as room A, B, C, and D, with room A being the
    primary room (the one used for a one-room system). If two or more rooms are connected to
    your system, the Personal music center displays ROOM and HOUSE buttons, and room
    indicators (A, B, C, and/or D). Figure 12 shows a sample display for a two-room system.

    on a different source in each room:
    1. Wake up the touchscreen.
    2. Press the ROOM button until the room indicator 
     is displayed. Press a source button,
    such as VIDEO 1, to turn on the system and listen to your DVD player in room A.
    Adjust the volume to the desired level.
    3. Press the ROOM button again. The room indicator 
     is displayed. Press a different
    source button, such as CD, to listen to a CD in room B. Again, adjust the volume to the
    desired level.
    4. Press the ROOM button again and notice that the room indicator 
     is displayed. You are
    controlling room A once again and the display indicates that the VIDEO 1 source is on.
    Setting up a shared source
    Now, let’s say the system is already on and you want to play the FM radio in rooms A and B:
    1. Wake up the touchscreen.
    2. Press the ROOM button until the room indicator 
     is displayed. Press the FM source
    button and adjust the volume to the desired level for room A.
    3. Press the ROOM button again to select room 
    . Press the FM source button and adjust
    the volume to the desired level for room B. Now, the indicators A  
     are displayed.
    4. Press the ROOM button again. The indicators 
      appear on the touchscreen indicat-
    ing that you can control these two rooms together. Any button command given now
    (SOURCE, VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, SLEEP) is applied to both rooms.
    The ROOM button lets you control a single room, or two or more rooms that share a source
    The HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as one
    The room indicators tell you what was selected by the ROOM or
    HOUSE button

    room. Any button pressed after that (any source button, VOLUME, MUTE, or SLEEP) affects
    every room. When you are done listening you can press OFF to turn off the entire system.
    Note: If you do not press any other buttons after pressing HOUSE, pressing HOUSE again
    cancels HOUSE mode.
    Using more than one Personal®  music center
    If you have a multi-room system, you can add Personal music centers for some or all of the
    connected rooms. Each multi-room interface can be controlled by a maximum of four
    Personal music centers. Each Personal music center can control up to four rooms.

    Fine-tuning your system
    In most situations, you only need to follow the speaker placement guidelines for your system
    to provide excellent sound quality.
    You do not need to adjust tone settings for changes in volume, since Bose
    ® patented signal
    processing technology provides a natural tonal balance over the full range of volume settings.
    If desired, you can further fine-tune your system as described below.
    Adjusting speaker controls
    The TREBLE and BASS controls are located on the Acoustimass® 5 and 20 music systems’
    Acoustimass module (Figure 19). They allow you to adjust the treble (high frequencies) and
    bass (low frequencies). In the normal setting, the dots on each control are in the 12-o’clock
    position. Turn the controls clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the
    amount of treble or bass.
    Compensating for room acoustics
    The acoustics (sound qualities) of your room can affect the overall sound quality of any
    speaker system. In general, you can reduce many problems with acoustics by the careful use
    of the TREBLE and BASS controls.
    Too much or too little treble
    Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare floors and walls,
    may sound overly shrill or “bright.” Turning down the treble control (toward –) decreases
    treble sound.
    Rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall
    carpet, or heavy drapes, may reduce the treble sound of your system. Moving speakers
    farther away from soft furnishings increases treble. You can increase treble sound by slightly
    turning up the treble control (toward +).
    Too much or too little bass
    You can decrease bass sound by turning down the bass control (toward –). To increase bass,
    turn up the bass control (toward +).
    Acoustimass module placement affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module
    closer to the corner of the room will increase bass. Moving the module away from the corner
    will decrease bass.

    Troubleshooting
    Problem What to do
    System does not function at all• Make sure the power connector is plugged securely into the music center, the power cord is
    plugged securely into the Acoustimass® module, the power pack and power cord are
    plugged into operating AC wall outlets, and the module power switch is on.
    •Be sure to select a source (CD, AM/FM, etc.).
    •Unplug the music center power pack for a minute, then reconnect it. This allows the unit to
    reset itself after a power surge or power interruption.
    No sound•Turn the music center off for ten seconds, then on again, to re-establish communication
    between the music center and the speakers.
    •Check the connections for any external components. Make sure to select the
    correct source for the desired input.
    •Check the speaker connections.
    •Be sure the CD is placed correctly, label-side up, in the music center, and the cover is
    closed.
    •Increase the volume.
    •Check to see if MUTE is lit in the display. Press MUTE on the remote to unmute the sound.
    •Disconnect any headphones.
    •Connect the FM and AM antennas.
    Volume at maximum level•For Lifestyle® DVD systems, check Zone 2 Protocol in the System Settings menu. This
    must be set to Normal.
    • For Lifestyle
    ® DVD systems, check that the FIX adapter cable is plugged into the Zone 2
     output. If it is not, replace VAR 3-foot adapter cable with FIX 3-foot adapter cable.
