    Selecting a location for your Lifestyle 
    ® 
     stereo amplifier 
    Select a location for your Lifestyle 
    ®
     
     stereo amplifier and mount it according to the following guidelines. 
    CAUTION:  
    DO NOT mount the amplifier on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have hazards con-
    cealed behind them, such as electrical wiring or plumbing. The amplifier must be placed indoors. It is nei-
    ther designed nor tested for use outdoors or on boats. 
    Although the amplifier does not need to be situated close to either your Lifestyle 
    ®
     
     system or the accessory 
    speakers, consider the following guidelines when selecting a location for your amplifier:
    •Locate the amplifier indoors and within 8 feet (2.5 m) of a power outlet.
    •Make sure that the amplifier is located within the reach of the supplied 30-foot audio input cable.
    •Place the amplifier in an area where the maximum ambient temperature is less than 104 
    °  
    F (45  
    °  
    C).
    •For optimum performance, place the amplifier in a well-ventilated area.
    •DO NOT PLACE THE AMPLIFIER IN A COMPLETELY ENCLOSED AREA – If the amplifier is installed on a 
    shelf, or in a bookcase, or inside an entertainment center, maintain 2.0 inches (5.0 cm) minimum clearance 
    (Figure 2) on all sides of the amplifier with an open area of 3.0 inches (7.5 cm) minimum immediately above 
    it to allow for air flow. If adequate ventilation is not provided, the amplifier will automatically protect itself 
    by reducing its volume level in order to limit its temperature.
    •DO NOT place the amplifier on any heat-sensitive surface, such as the finished surface of fine furniture. 
    Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
    •DO NOT use the amplifier in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from getting into the unit. 
    Figure 2 
    Required clearance 
    between the amplifier and 
    any material or surface. 
    •When mounting the amplifier on a horizontal surface like a floor or shelf (Figure 3), the amplifier’s rubber 
    feet provide stability and prevent scratches. 
    Figure 3 
    Horizontal surface mounting 
    •To mount the amplifier on a wall (Figure 4), remove the rubber feet and use the existing guide holes in the 
    amplifier’s enclosure. See Figure 5 on page 6 for recommended mounting hardware.

    Operating speakers in other rooms with the Personal
    ® music center
    Systems that have a multi-room interface are controlled by the Personal music center which requires no 
    internal switch settings before it allows you to control more than one room of speakers. However, if you pur-
    chase a second Personal music center, you must follow the procedure for setting up the Personal music 
    center for the first time.
    Note: Refer to your Lifestyle
    ® system owner’s guide for more information on operating your system in more 
    than one room.
    The Personal music center allows you to control up to four sets of Bose
    ® powered speakers placed in indi-
    vidual 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 7 shows an 
    example display for a two-room system.
