Connecting the speaker to your LIFESTYLE® system

Using the supplied Bose® link “B” cable, connect your RoomMate® speaker to the media centre as shown in Figure 4.

When your LIFESTYLE® RoomMate® speaker is shipped from the factory it is already set up to operate in a Bose link network using room code I. If room code I is already assigned to another Bose link product in your home, you will need to change the room code. For more information, see “Changing the room code for your RoomMate® speaker system” on page 13.

If you already have a Bose® link product

If you already have a Bose® link cable plugged into the Bose link speakers jack, you may need to obtain a Bose link extension/expansion cable. This will allow you to connect both your existing Bose link cable and your new Bose link B cable to your media centre.

Another solution is available if you own an AL8 homewide wireless audio link and/or a LIFESTYLE® SA-2/SA-3 stereo amplifier. These products have an additional Bose® link connection that would accommodate the cable from your RoomMate speaker system.

For more information about either of these solutions, contact Bose Customer Service. Refer to the Bose address list supplied with your LIFESTYLE® home entertainment system.

SETUP

Adding an external audio source

You can use your RoomMate® speaker to listen to an external audio source such as a TV, or a portable CD or MP3 player. Just connect the headphone jack (or other variable output) on your source device to the AUX IN jack on the rear panel of your RoomMate speaker. The cable used must be fitted with a male 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo plug.

For operating instructions on how to listen to an external audio source while connected to a LIFESTYLE® system, refer to:

•“Listening to your local source” on page 29 for the PERSONAL® music center II or

•“Listening to your local source” on page 32 for the RC18S remote control.

Note: Neither the PERSONAL® music center II nor the RC18S remote will operate any external audio device connected to the AUX IN jack.

Using an external source without a Bose® link connection

When your RoomMate speaker is disconnected from a Bose link network, the AUX IN source is automatically selected. This means that you can listen to an external audio source without using your PERSONAL® music center II or RC18S remote control. Use the volume control on your external device to set the volume level of the speaker. You can still use the mute switch on the front of the speaker to mute the sound at any time.

SETUP

Changing the room code for your RoomMate® speaker system

Each Bose® link product connected to your LIFESTYLE® home entertainment system must have a unique room code. This code enables the PERSONAL® music center II or the RC18S remote to operate your LIFESTYLE® system from a Bose® link room (a room in which a Bose® link product is used).

When your LIFESTYLE® RoomMate® speaker is shipped from the factory it is already set up to operate in a Bose® link room using room code I. If room code I is already used by another Bose® link product in your home, you will need to change the room code. To do this, refer to Figure 9 and set the room code switches for the room code you want to use.

Note: Make sure the room code setting in your RoomMate speaker system matches the room code setting in your PERSONAL® music center II (see page 20) or RC18S remote (see page 33).
