Audio streams multiply your options
While the LIFESTYLE® system is playing in the main room, you can use your PERSONAL music center II in another room to play a completely different choice from the very same system.
This is because the system uses two independent audio streams to deliver the sound. Therefore, while the Audio 1 stream fills the main room with spine-tingling DVD special effects, you can move to another room and switch to FM radio on the other stream.
Although the PERSONAL
®
music center II is preset at the factory to control the Audio 2 stream, you can easily change it to Audio 1 – the stream that supplies sound in the main room.
For example, there may be times when you don’t want to hear what is playing in one of your multiple Bose stream there, you can switch to Audio 1, which may not otherwise be in use. This option also allows people in different rooms to use the uMusic

Changing the room code
Figure 24
Room code switches and possible room codes
Your RC18S remote is preset at the factory for use in a Bose® link room using room code I. If only your RoomMate
®
speaker system is set up for room code I in one Bose® link room, the RC18S should remain set to Room Code I. However, if you already have a Bose link­compatible product that uses room code I set up in your home, you will need to change the room code in your new RC18S remote. Each Bose link-compatible product and its associated remote must be set to the same unique room code.
Note: Make sure the room code set on your RC18S remote is the same room code that is set on your RoomMate speaker. See “Changing the room code for your RoomMate
speaker system”
on page 12. Note: For more room code details, refer to the operating guide supplied with your LIFESTYLE
system.
To change the RC18S room code:
1. Slide the battery compartment cover off the back of your new RC18S remote and find the
room code switches inside the battery compartment (Figure 24).
2. Set the four room code switches (6, 7, 8, and 9) to a room code that is not being used.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it snaps shut.

Changing the house code
Before any secondary remote control can work, the house code in each control must match the one in your primary remote. Because all primary and secondary remotes are preset at the factory with the same house code, you do not usually need to change the house code.
If you changed the house code in your primary remote, you must set up your new RC18S remote with the same house code.
To change the RC18S house code:
1. Slide the battery compartment cover off the back of your new RC18S remote and find the
house code switches inside the battery compartment (Figure 25).
2. Check the positions of the four house code switches (1, 2, 3 and 4) against the house
code setting in your primary remote and adjust as needed.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it snaps shut.
