Connecting the audio from your TV

You may want to connect a source component, such as a camcorder or game console, directly to your TV. To play the audio from that source through your Lifestyle you must connect the audio coming out of the TV to the Lifestyle

system.

If your TV does not have an audio output, you can still hear the sound of a connected component through the speakers built into the TV. However, at any other time, it is

best to keep the volume of your TV turned all the way down for a better surround sound experience.

To connect your TV audio to the Lifestyle® system:

• For a basic analog audio connection, use the

supplied stereo audio cable (with two RCA connectors at each end, one red and one white). It connects to left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on the rear panel of your TV a nd to the (L and R) TV Audio IN jacks on the media center rear panel (see Figure 13).

• If your TV provides a digital audio out connector,

connect a digital audio cable. When making the digital audio connection, use either a single coaxial cable or an optical cable.

Do not disconnect the analog connection described above. The analog connection ensures consistent sound in the event of a weak digital signal.

• If your TV provides both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR)

audio output jacks, use the fixed jacks for higher quality. Be sure to select Fixed in your TV setup menu.

Changing remote control switch settings

Each Lifestyle® remote control uses a house code that corresponds to the house code set in the media center, enabling the two to communicate. If another Lifestyle system nearby creates a conflict with your system, you can easily set a new house code in your media center and its remote control(s) with the following steps:

1. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 18 on page 52).

2. Move one or more of switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the opposite direction from its current setting. Use a paper clip, ballpoint pen, or similar object.

Note: DO NOT change any other switch settings.

Moving other switches may disable your remote control.

3. Replace the battery cover.

4. With the system off, press and hold the Mute button on the display.

The system remains off, but the current house code appears on the display in the form of four rectangles, which represent the positions of switches 1 through 4:

The new house code you set in step 2 shows on the display.

6. Release the display Mute button. The system remains off.

7. If you have additional remote controls, change the switches to match those of the first remote control by following steps 1-3 above. You do not need to repeat steps 4 through 6.

Your Lifestyle® home theater system can direct sound to more than one room at the same time. What’s more, it can direct the audio fr om two dif fer ent sound sour ces (such as AM/FM tuner, DVD, or AUX) to these rooms through two independent audio streams.

In additional rooms where you have speakers (beyond the main room where the media center is located), you can choose to listen to either of the two audio streams. So, when music is playing in the main room, listeners in other rooms can enjoy that same music or an entirely different audio source from the system, for true independence.

Capable of supplying up to 14 additional rooms with

Bose

quality sound, one Lifestyle® system can fill your

entire living space with music.

Bose® link-compatible products make it easy

As an option to provide sound throughout your home (or even outdoors), the Bose the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent quality for use in other rooms.

These include: the Bose audio link, the Wave

music system, 3•2•1®, 3•2•1 GS, or 3•2•1 GSX systems, the Lifestyle powered speaker system, and other unpowered speakers for indoors or out. We also offer amplifiers of different power ratings, plus the proper cables and adapters to connect it all together.

With the purchase of a Bose each additional room, managing your whole-house music system becomes quick and easy. It’s a simple matter to preset each remote for the room where it will be used and for the audio stream yo u want it to receiv e.

These settings apply only to remote controls with battery compartment switches.

• House code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) must match those on your main remote.

• Consider your choices for Switch 5: Change the switch so the expansion room sh ares the

audio stream heard in the main room (A). Leave the switch unchanged, so the expansion room

receives a different audio stream from the main room (A).
