rior performance for both music and video programming from an elegant and easy-to-use

system.

Note: Because DVD is a r elatively new technology, please take the time to read through this

manual and familiarize yourself with the features of your new system.

ypes of discs you can play

The DVD player in your system can play the following types of discs having the

corresponding logos:

•Video DVDs

Glossary

For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their r egion numbers must match. These

numbers are allocated according to where the player and disc are sold.

Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your system. Then

be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or

packaging.

For example, a Region 1 DVD player should display the following mark:

Aspect ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the

picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (r ead as 4

by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect

ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

Chapter – In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT).

Component video – A video system containing three separate color component signals,

either red/green/blue (RGB) or chroma/color dif ference (YPbPr), in analog or digital form. The

MPEG-2 encoding system used by DVD is based on color-difference component digital

video.

Composite video – A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization

information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems.

Dolby Digital – A perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and

accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding

multi-channel audio.

DTS – A type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs.

DVD – An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versa-

tile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.

DVD video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,

based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio, and other proprietary data formats.

– An acronym for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands

on an infrared light beam.

Letterbox – A video format which has black borders at the top and bottom of the picture.

MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record

many hours of music on a single CD.

NTSC – An acronym for National Television System Committee. The U.S. organization that

developed both the American Black & White and Color television system.

The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.

Pan & Scan – The technique of reframing a picture to conform to a different aspect ratio by

cropping parts of the picture. DVD-Video players can automatically create a 4:3 pan & scan

version from widescreen video by using a horizontal offset encoded with the video.

PCM – The form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data

stream that is coded for transmission or recording.

S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance sig-

nals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is sig-

nificantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate the

signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.

surround sound experience from everything you listen to – VHS tapes, stereo CDs, even

mono TV programs.

YPbPr – A component analog video signal containing one luminance and two chrominance

components. Often referred to loosely as YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y.

– The logo r epresenting Dolby Digital.

– The logo representing DTS.

– An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.

General System Operation

Turning your system on and off

You can turn your system on and off using the On/Off button on the remote control or the

media center button panel. When you turn it on with either On/Off button, the source that

was played last is automatically selected. You can also press any source button on the

English

remote to turn the system on and select the source at the same time.

Making sound adjustments

Volume

System volume can be raised or lowered using the Volume ▲ ▼ buttons on the remote or the

media center button panel.

Changing the number of speakers playing

When you turn on a source, the number of speakers used for that source is automatically

determined. For example, when you select FM, the front right and left speakers are used.

When you play a DVD video, all five speakers are turned on. You can change the number of

speakers used for any source by pressing the Speakers 2-3-5 button on the remote control.

Adjusting surround sound

The sound level of the surround (rear) speakers in your system can be adjusted in small steps

using the Surround + / – buttons on your remote. In surround (5-speaker) mode, Surround+

raises the volume; Surround– lowers it.

Using the headphones jack

For private listening, you can connect a headset to the headset jack located on the right side

of the media center. When a headset is connected, all ZONE 1 speakers are muted.

System settings

When necessary, the system settings can be changed using the system settings menus. See

“Changing System Settings” on page 22.

Using the sleep timer

Your system includes a sleep timer, which can be set to turn your system off automatically

after 10 to 90 minutes of listening to any source. This timer can be accessed through the set-

tings menu. See “Using the settings menus” on page 22.

Changing the video output for component video connections

If your TV or video monitor is capable of component video input signals, and you have con-

nected your TV to your system using the component video adapter (included), you must

change the video output setting in the settings menu to “YPbPr”. This will enable the media

center to send the correct video signals to your TV.

To change the video output setting, see “Using the settings menus” on page 22, and

“Changing the system setup” on page 34.

Playing a Video DVD

Before you play your first DVD

This section tells you how to use the DVD player in your system to play video DVDs. Before
you play your first DVD, make note of the following:

English

•Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the remote control buttons (see “The

remote control” on page 7). Although some remote control buttons look the same as those
found on a VCR or CD player remote, their functions are different.

• In order for some system features to work, the DVDs that you play must be encoded with

the information for that feature. For example, in order to display subtitles while watching a
movie, the disc must contain subtitle information.

• Both the DVD player in your system and the discs you play are coded by region. In order for

a disc to play, these region codes must match. Check the label on the media center or on
the shipping carton for your player’s region code.

Loading and playing a DVD

1. Turn your television on.

2. Press to select the DVD player. If the system is off, this will also turn it on.

3. Lift up the media center front door and press .

4. Insert the DVD disc into the tray (label side up).

5. Press to close the disc tray.

Note: Your system was set at the factory to automatically play a disc when it is loaded. This
feature can be turned off in the system settings menu. See “DVD setup submenu” on

Using parental controls

Playback restrictions can be placed on your DVD player by choosing a level of parental con­trol and setting up a system password using the settings menu. See “Parental control setup
submenu” on page 36. For information on using the system settings menu, see “Changing
System Settings” on page 22.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) standard movie ratings are mapped to
specific parental levels of control in the following table. There are eight levels, each less
restrictive of content than the level below. The DVD player in your new LIFESTYLE® home
entertainment system can be set to any of these eight levels.

The password you created will prevent unauthorized viewing of DVD videos having a rating
higher than the parental control setting. When you load a DVD video into a system having a
parental control setting of 4, for example, only DVD videos that have a MPAA rating of 4 (PG-

Changing the house code settings

Each LIFESTYLE® remote control uses a system of matching house codes to communicate
with its corresponding media center. If commands given from your remote ever conflict with
those of another nearby LIFESTYLE® system, you can easily set a new house code for your

English

system and its remote control(s) by doing the following:

1. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 15).

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 cause your
remote to not control your system.

3. Replace the battery cover.

4. Lift the media center door and press the All Off button.

5. Press and hold the Store key. Your current house code will appear in the media center
display window in the form of four rectangles which represent the positions of switches 1
through 4:

6. While holding the Store key, press any key on the remote control.
The display will change to show the new house code to confirm recognition of the
new code:

HOUSE CODE:

Current house code = 0 0 0 0 (Switches 1 - 4 down.)

NEW HOUSE CODE:

New house code = 1 0 1 0
(Switch 1 up, 2 down, 3 up, and 4 down.)

Your LIFESTYLE® home entertainment system can direct sound from one or two sound
sources (such as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to two different listening zones at the
same time.

What is a zone?

Each listening area, whether a room or a gr oup of r ooms (including outdoor ar eas), is called a
zone. Your primary listening area is set up as zone 1.

What do I need for setting up a second zone?

• A Bose® powered speaker system that is compatible with your home entertainment system.

An existing stereo system can also be connected (special adapter required).

• The appropriate LIFESTYLE® system cable to connect the zone 2 speaker system to the

SPEAKER ZONES 2 connector on the rear panel of the media center.

•A second LIFESTYLE® system remote control to operate the zone 2 sound.

See your dealer or contact Bose for information on obtaining additional powered speakers,
remote controls, cables, and adapters for connecting additional equipment.

How do I set up a second remote to control zone 2?

1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the back side of the zone 2 remote.

2. Locate miniature switches 5 through 9 (Figure 16) and set them according to the table.

3. Make sure the house code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) match those on your first remote.

4. Re-install the battery compartment cover back.
