    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 direct the audio from two different sound sources (such 
    as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to these rooms through two independent audio streams.
    In additional rooms where you have speakers (beyond the main room where the media center 
    is located), you can choose to listen to either of the two audio streams. So, when music is 
    playing in the main room, listeners in other rooms can enjoy that same music or an entirely 
    different audio source from the system, for true independence.
    Capable of supplying up to 14 additional rooms with Bose
    ® quality sound, one LIFESTYLE®
    system can fill your entire living space with music.
    Bose® link-compatible products make it easy
    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: the Bose link AL8 homewide wireless audio link. You can use it with the Wave
    ®
    music system, 3•2•1 Series II or 3•2•1 GSSeries II systems, the LIFESTYLE®!
    RoomMate® powered speakers, and other unpowered speakers for indoors or out. We also 
    offer amplifiers of different power ratings, plus the proper cables and adapters to connect it 
    all together. 
    With the purchase of a Bose
    ® link remote control for each additional room, managing your 
    whole-house music system becomes quick and easy. It’s a simple matter to preset each 
    remote for the room where it will be used and for the audio stream you want it to receive. 
    For added versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL
    ® music center II to control the sound 
    in your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams 
    instantly, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is currently 
    playing and what other listening options you have.
    Regardless of which ones you choose, each Bose link-compatible product includes detailed 
    instructions for adding it to your LIFESTYLE
    ® DVD home entertainment 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 apply only to remote controls 
    with battery compartment switches.* 
    • House code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) must 
    match those on your main remote.
    • Consider your choices for Switch 5: 
    Change the switch so the expansion room 
    shares the audio stream heard in the main 
    room (A).
    Leave the switch unchanged, so the 
    expansion room receives a different audio 
    stream from the main room (A).
    • Room code switches (6, 7, 8, and 9) must 
    be unique to each new remote, unless for 
    use in the main room (A) along with the 
    primary remote.
    *For a PERSONAL
    ® music center II, you 
    make these settings in a menu on the!
    display screen.
    Protecting and caring for your system
    Follow the guidelines below when cleaning the surfaces.
    • Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or 
    abrasives.
    • Do not use any sprays near the system.
    Cleaning the media center
    Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the media center. 
    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.
    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 21). Do not write on 
    or attach labels to the surface of the disc.
    • 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.
    • 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.
