Setting Up

Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® 40 music system

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected and direct sound provides a lifelike stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube® speakers and Acoustimass® module to produce the sound most pleasing to you.

For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics, see “Fine-tuning your system” on page 28.

Jewel Cube speakers

Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum stereo effect from your Lifestyle® 40 music system (Figure 2).

1. For the most lifelike sound, place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart. They can be as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m).

2. Place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface behind them.

3. Direct one cube of each speaker toward the center of the room. Direct the other cube toward a side wall to create reflected sound.

CAUTION:

Listening to the radio

Your Lifestyle® music system has a built-in AM/FM radio. Good AM/FM radio reception depends on the location and orientation of the AM and FM antennas. See “FM antenna connections” and “AM antenna connections” on page 12 for proper antenna installation. See “Optimizing AM/FM radio reception” on page 28 for help with antenna adjustment.

T urning the system on and choosing the radio

Press FM or AM to turn your system on to the most recently selected FM or AM station. If the system is already on, use the FM or AM button to select either of these sources.

Setting radio channel spacing

On some multi-room interfaces, the AM and FM channel spacing can be set for North America (US: 10 kHz for AM and 200 kHz for FM) or Europe (EU: 9 kHz for AM and 50 kHz for FM). Select the channel spacing most appropriate for your area.

To change between US and EU channel spacing, press and hold the SOURCE button for two seconds. Press either arrow button until tunr appears. Using the arrow buttons, select US or EU. Press DONE to exit.

Selecting FM or AM

Press the FM or AM SOURCE button to turn on the radio band desired. Select a station by tuning manually, seeking a strong station, or selecting a preset station.

To manually tune a radio station, press the (decrease) or (increase) arrow button on either side of the frequency display to change the frequency in small steps (Figure 20). Or, press the KEYPAD button until the indicator arrow points toward TUNE. Then use the number buttons to enter the frequency of the station you want to tune. The left-most digit is entered first and the display flashes while you enter more digits. When you have entered the station frequency, the system selects that station or the closest valid station.

To tune a station, use up/down arrow keys, or

point the KEYPAD to TUNE and enter numbers.

Receiving FM stereo or monaural broadcasts

When receiving sufficiently strong FM stereo broadcast signals, the radio automatically receives in the stereo mode; the STEREO indicator appears on the display. Weak stereo signals are received in the monoaural mode (the STEREO indicator is off).

To force the tuner to receive in stereo mode only, press and hold the center of the station display until you hear a high-pitched beep. To receive in monaural mode only, press and hold until you hear a low-pitched beep. However, even though you may have forced the stereo mode, monaural broadcast material is still heard in monaural. Retuning the station cancels any forcing.

Operating Y our Lifestyle® 40 Music System

Receiving AM stations

Normally, the AM radio receives sufficiently strong AM stations using a wide bandwidth filter. If you experience difficulty tuning to a weak AM station, you can force the AM tuner to use a narrow bandwidth filter to eliminate interference from other stations.

To force the tuner to use a narrow bandwidth filter, press and hold the center of the station display until you hear a low-pitched beep. To switch back to the wide bandwidth filter, press and hold until you hear a high-pitched beep. Retuning the station cancels any forcing.

Seeking the strongest stations

Press either the or SEEK arrow button to tune to the next strong station.

Selecting a preset station

You can select a preset station using the or PRESET arrow buttons or the KEYPAD. To use the KEYPAD, press the KEYPAD button until the indicator arrow PRESET. Then enter the number of the preset station you want.

Fine-tuning your system

In most situations, you only need to follow the speaker placement guidelines (see “Setting Up” on pages 6-7) for your system to provide excellent sound quality. You do not need to adjust tone settings for changes in volume, since Bose® patented integrated signal process-

Figure 32

Treble and bass controls

ing provides a natural tonal balance over the full range of volume settings. If desired, you can further fine-tune your system as described here.

Adjusting speaker controls

The Lifestyle® 40 music system treble and bass controls are located on the Acoustimass module (Figure 32). 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. You can also locate the normal setting by feeling when the control settles into the notch at this 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.

Treble

Bass

T oo much or too little treble

Rooms that reflect a lot of sound, 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 sound muffled or dull. Moving speakers further away from soft furnishings increases treble. You can increase treble sound by slightly turning up the treble control (toward + ).

T oo 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 also affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room increases bass. Moving the module away from the corner decreases bass.

Optimizing AM/FM radio reception

You can adjust the orientation of your AM/FM antenna for the strongest signal by selecting SIGNAL LEVELS with the MENU button (Figure 33). Select the AM or FM radio, and the display shows you the strength level of the received signal. While watching the display, reposition your antenna until the highest possible signal level is achieved. The signal level can vary from 0 to 99. The manual tuning keys are provided so that you can check the signal strengths of multiple stations.

Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle® 40 Music System

Operating in more than one room

Your Lifestyle® 40 music system can control up to four sets of Bose® powered speakers, allowing your family to enjoy 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 41 shows an example display for a two-room system.

Figure 41

Example display for a two-room system

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

Understanding the room indicators

A boxed letter indicates the presently-selected room or rooms. The selected room is affected by any source changes, or any change you make using the VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, or SLEEP buttons.

B An unboxed letter indicates a room listening to a shared source. A shared source is one

that is playing in the controlled room as well as in up to three additional rooms. If you change the radio station, CD track, etc., of the shared source, the change affects all rooms sharing this source. However, you cannot change sources for all affected rooms at the same time. The VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, and SLEEP buttons only affect the boxed room(s).

An empty box appears for each connected room when you press the HOUSE button. When you change the volume in the HOUSE mode, the numerical level appearing on the display does not represent the actual volume level in all connected rooms. It only represents the actual volume in rooms represented by a boxed letter.
