5 INTRODUCTION English FrançaisEspañol INTRODUCTION Before you begin Thank you for choosing a Bose®LIFESTYLE®DVD home entertainment system. Superior audio performance for both music and movies places this system at the heart of home theater enjoyment. Instructions in this guide apply to the Bose LIFESTYLE ® 18, 28, and 35 Series II systems and to the LIFESTYLE® 38 and 48 systems. While suited to slightly different home entertainment needs, each of these advanced systems includes connection jacks to extend its capabilities in up to 14 other rooms. All five systems also feature the proprietary ADAPTiQ ® audio calibration system, for tailoring system perfor- mance to make it optimal for your home. In addition, LIFESTYLE ® 38 and 48 systems feature an exciting and responsive uMusicTM intelligent playback system, which plays stored music to suit your changing taste and moods. Use this guide as needed You may want to rely on this guide as a step-by-step instructional aid or simply as a reference if you get stuck. Suggestions on how you can proceed follow. For a step-by-step approach • Begin by identifying the parts of your system, using the illustrations on the next two pages. • Consider the guidelines on placement to determine the best locations for your media center, cube speakers, and Acoustimass ® module. These begin on page 8. • Using the supplied cables, follow the basic procedures and diagrams as you connect all the system parts, including the AM and FM antennas and power cords, beginning on page 12. For reference only, as needed • Confirm that the basic connection between your LIFESTYLE® system and your television allows you to see on-screen system menus. Note: Basic setup is required for you to use the supplied Setup Disc 1 and to run the ADAPTiQ calibration process to adjust the sound so it suits your room layout and furnishings. • Scan our recommended approach on page 20 to power up the system and test for optimal sound in your room. • Check the detailed overview of how to connect other equipment to extend the versatility of the system in “Connecting other components to the system” on page 29. Some possibili- ties include: • PVR or DVR (a personal or digital video recorder) • VCR (a video cassette recorder) • Cable or satellite box • Game console • DVD changer • Recording equipment For system expansion into other rooms If you are ready to expand the system sound to other rooms, you may want to familiarize yourself with special considerations for “Enjoying your system in other rooms” on page 38 before you begin making connections.

8 SYSTEM PLACEMENT English Français Español SYSTEM PLACEMENT Positioning your media center To select a location in your room for the media center, use the guidelines below: • Place the media center close enough to other sound sources (TV, VCR, cable or satellite box), to allow for easy cable connections. Check the length of the audio and video cables you will use for these additional components. Note: Additional cables are available from your local Bose® dealer. Or, to contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton. If you prefer, you can order cables from our website: www.bose.com. • Do not block the front of the media center. Allow enough room to lift up the front cover and open the CD/DVD tray. Also, be sure you have a clear view of the display window on the front of the media center (Figure 3). • Place the media center within 30 feet (9.1 meters) of the Acoustimass ® module (the length of the audio input cable). Note: For convenience, until your system is completely installed, you may wish to keep the media center positioned for easy access to its rear connection panel. Figure 3 Front features of the media center Front door – Make sure you allow enough room to lift this door. Disc tray – Make sure nothing blocks this CD/DVD tray as it slides open.Display window – Make sure you can see this information while using your system. Š IR emitter – Make sure nothing impedes it from sending signals to other components in the room. Placing the five cube speakers around your room When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, they provide the audio atmosphere of a home theater. If you like, experiment with the placement and orientation of the speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you. Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall brackets. For more information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose dealer or visit www.bose.com. To contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton. CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood.
SYSTEM PLACEMENT 9 S YSTEM PLACEMENT English FrançaisEspañol Deciding where you want the center speaker The center speaker sound should seem to come directly from the center of the picture. The provided cable allows it to be up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass® module. 1. Place the center speaker in an upright position, directly above or below the center of the TV screen or as close to that as possible. 2. Align the front of speaker with the front edge of the TV screen. CAUTION: Attach the supplied rubber feet (or pad) to its bottom surface before placing a center speaker on top of your TV. This provides stability and prevents shifting from vibration.To obtain additional rubber feet, contact Bose ® Customer Service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system. Arranging the left and right front speakers To best link sound to picture, put the left and right front speakers near your TV (Figure 4). • The supplied front cables allow for placement of the speakers up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the Acoustimass module. • Set or mount each speaker in an upright position and lined up with the vertical and horizontal center of the screen (Figure 4). • We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 meter) from the edge of the TV screen to prevent over-separation of sound and picture. Vary this distance to suit your room conditions and personal preference. • If any front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to position them at the front edge of the shelf. Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality of the sound. Figure 4 Recommended speaker locations Left front Right front Center Left surround Right surround • Rotate the top cube of each speaker array (or single cube) toward the wall or another hard surface to create reflected sound, as shown in Figure 4, above. This applies to both front left and right and surround left and right speakers.
10 SYSTEM PLACEMENT S YSTEM PLACEMENT English Français Español Positions for the two surround speakers The placement goal for rear surround speakers is to create an area of sound around the listener. By locating them in the back half of your room and directing the cubes away from the listeners, you prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source, which is ideal. The surround speaker cables allow for up to 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the Acoustimass ® module. 1. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.The longer the path from speakers to ears, the better. 2. Adjust one cube of each speaker to reflect sound off one or more surfaces. Location choices for the AcoustimassŠ module Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 and follow these guidelines for selecting a floor location for place- ment of the Acoustimass module: • Along the same wall as the TV, or the same end of the room as the front speakers. • At least 18 inches (45 centimeters) from the TV to avoid magnetically interfering with the TV image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference. • Positioned with its grille (with a Bose ® logo) facing into the room or perpendicular to the closest wall. This prevents the wall from blocking sound output or boosting the bass. • Where it is not centered between two walls or between a floor and ceiling. • Within reach of the audio input cable (30 feet or 9.1 meters); the five speaker cables (20 feet or 6.1 meters for front and center speakers; 50 feet or 15.2 meters for surround speakers), and your AC power (mains) outlet. • On its two sides, its top, or its bottom, but NOT standing on either end (Figure 5). CAUTION: Do not block the ventilation slots for the built-in electronic circuitry in the module. Figure 5 Proper and improper positioning of an Acoustimass module BEST For best ventilation, stand the module on its bottom surface, as shown, left.ALTERNATE Place the module on one of its two broad sides.DO NOT stand the module on its slightly curved back end, which can cause it to tip over.DO NOT stand the module on its front grille end. The weight of the module can damage the grille. Top surface Side surface Back end Front endVentilation openings • Under a table or behind a cabinet, for convenience. However, not where furniture or drapes block any openings on the module. • With four self-adhesive rubber feet attached to the surface that touches the floor, for added stability and protection from scratches. • Where it will not expose electronic media, like tapes, to its magnetic field for long periods.
