    *With most TV models, the TV sensor must be installed and positioned to detect if the TV is 
    on or off. In Europe, a SCART connector communicates with the TV. If your system setup is 
    different from either of these, using the automatic feature is not an option. 
    Note: For information on using the TV sensor, refer to “Installing the TV on/off detector” in your

    The parental control feature of the LIFESTYLE® system lets you restrict viewing of DVD videos 
    with certain ratings. To activate this feature, you need to set a level of restriction and establish 
    a password in the DVD Lock section of the System menu. 
    Your password will prevent unauthorized viewing of DVD videos that have a higher rating than 
    your restriction level. There are 8 levels to choose from, matched to movie ratings set by the 
    Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), as shown in the table on page 36.

    Remote control maintenance
    Changing the batteries as needed is the only regular maintenance required. However, the 
    switches inside the remote battery case may be changed, as needed. Additional remotes for 
    use in other rooms may need their switches changed, too. For that, refer to “Bose
    ®link 
    remote switch settings” on page 39.
    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. Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote (Figure 17).
    2. Insert four AAA or IEC-LR3 1.5V batteries, or the equivalent, as shown. Match the + 
    and – symbols on the batteries with the + and – markings inside the compartment.
    3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.

    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. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 18 on 
    page 38).
    2. 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.

    2. Press and hold the Store 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

    new code:
    4. Release the Store button. The system remains off.
    5. 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.
    Note: To verify your system’s house code, press Store while the system is off. The display con-
    firms the settings of switches 1-4.

    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. What’s 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 these streams from different sources, for true independence. If the sys-
    tem 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 addiitonal rooms with Bose sound, one LIFESTYLE
    ® system 
    can fill your entire living space with music.HOUSE CODE:

    Bose® link: the key to assured compatibility
    One option is using a Bose product you already own, if you want the sound in just one addi-
    tional room.
    As a second option that can provide sound throughout your home (or even outside!), the 
    Bose
    ® link network connects all the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent 
    quality for use in the other rooms. 
    These include smaller Bose systems, powered and unpowered speakers and amplifiers, 
    plus the proper cables and adapters to complete your sound network. 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 play-
    ing on both steams. So it is very easy to choose one or the other whenever you like.
    Regardless of which type you choose, with any Bose
    ® link remote control you also get 
    detailed instructions on using the network. And a Bose® link symbol on the cartons (for the 
    products mentioned above) helps simplify your selections. 
    For more information on your choices, or to purchase additional equipment, contact your 
    local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with 
    the system.
    Bose® link remote switch settings
    These settings are for use only with remote 
    controls that have switches inside the bat-
    tery 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).ON

    Taking care of your LIFESTYLE® system
    Caring for your system may include:
    • Cleaning the system’s enclosures
    • Cleaning your compact discs and DVDs
    • Replacing the remote control batteries
    Cleaning the media center
    • Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the media center. 
    • Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or 
    abrasives.
    • Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings.
    • Do not use any sprays near the system.
    Cleaning the speakers
    • Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft, damp cloth. You can use an ammonia-free 
    window cleaner on a soft cloth to maintain the finish.
    • Do not use any sprays near the system. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning 
    solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.
    • Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings. 
    • The speaker grille panels require no special care, although you may vacuum them carefully, 
    if necessary.
    Cleaning discs
    • Handle discs by their edges to prevent fingerprints and scratches (Figure 19). 
    • To remove stains or fingerprints from the surface of a disc, use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. 
    Wipe in straight movements from the center of the disc to the outside. Do not use any 
    chemical products; they can damage the disc.
    • Do not write on or attach labels to the surface of the disc.
    • To minimize exposure to dust and dirt, replace discs in their cases after use. Store each 
    disc in its case, out of direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.
