Setting Up

Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® 40 music systemWhen you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflectedand direct sound provides a lifelike stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You mayexperiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube® speakers and Acousti-mass® module to produce the sound most pleasing to you.

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

Jewel Cube speakersFollow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum stereo effect from yourLifestyle® 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 cubetoward a side wall to create reflected sound.

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration cancause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off thebacking from the two identical rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on thebottom of each speaker.

Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close tothe TV without af fecting picture quality.

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the frontedge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of thesound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

Setting Up

Acoustimass® moduleFollow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least18 inches (45 cm) from the TV.

1. Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall or close to the same end of the roomas the Jewel Cube® speakers. See the example in Figure 2.

2. Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture ordrapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.

3. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, andan AC power (mains) outlet.

4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 3). For proper ventilation, place it onthe long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largestside, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end,as shown by the last two views in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Acoustimass module positions

5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feetnear the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability andprotection from scratches.

6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the portor creating too much bass.

7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls orfrom a wall and the ceiling.

CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots onthe end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.

CAUTION: The magnetic field from the Acoustimass module is not an immediate risk toyour video tapes, audio tapes, and other magnetic media. However, you should not storetapes directly on or near the Acoustimass module.

Multi-room interfaceSelect a location for the multi-room interface. It may be placed out of sight, if you like.

1. Place the multi-room interface within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (thelength of the audio input cable).

2. Place the multi-room interface close enough to the sound sources (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) toallow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all ofyour components, see your dealer or call Bose® Customer Service.

CD changerSelect a convenient location for the CD changer.

1. Place the CD changer on a level surface. Allow enough room to lift the door.

Treble

Bass


Fine-tuning your systemIn most situations, you only need to follow the speaker placement guidelines (see “SettingUp” on pages 6-7) for your system to provide excellent sound quality. You do not need toadjust tone settings for changes in volume, since Bose® patented integrated signal process-ing provides a natural tonal balance over the full range of volume settings. If desired, you canfurther fine-tune your system as described here.

Adjusting speaker controlsThe 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 (lowfrequencies). 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 atthis position. Turn the controls clockwise to increase, and counterclockwise to decrease, theamount of treble or bass.

Compensating for room acousticsThe acoustics (sound qualities) of your room can affect the overall sound quality of anyspeaker system. In general, you can reduce many problems with acoustics by the careful useof the treble and bass controls.

Too much or too little trebleRooms that reflect a lot of sound, especially those with bare floors and walls, may soundoverly 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-wallcarpet, or heavy drapes, may sound muffled or dull. Moving speakers further away from softfurnishings increases treble. You can increase treble sound by slightly turning up the treblecontrol (toward + ).

Too much or too little bassYou 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 amountof bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room increases bass. Movingthe module away from the corner decreases bass.

Optimizing AM/FM radio receptionYou can adjust the orientation of your AM/FM antenna for the strongest signal by selectingSIGNAL LEVELS with the MENU button (Figure 33). Select the AM or FM radio, and thedisplay 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 canvary from 0 to 99. The manual tuning keys are provided so that you can check the signalstrengths of multiple stations.

Equalizing the volume levels of external sourcesThe SIGNAL LEVELS selection in the MENU options allows you to adjust and equalize thevolume gain levels received from externally connected sources (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, AUX, TAPE).For example, you can adjust the gain level of an external source so that volume level 50 on thissource sounds as loud as level 50 from a built-in source.

1. Using the MENU button, select SIGNAL LEVELS.

2. Press VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, TAPE or AUX and you are shown a gain adjustment display(Figure 34). After listening to the built-in sources (FM, AM, CD) at your preferred volumelevel, use the arrow keys to adjust the signal level settings (GAIN) of the connectedsources until you get the same volumes. The adjustment range is from –15 to +15.

Operating in more than one roomYour 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 (theone used for a one-room system). If two or more rooms are connected to your system, thePersonal 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-roomsystem

Understanding the room indicatorsA boxed letter indicates the presently-selected room or rooms. The selected room isaffected 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 onethat is playing in the controlled room as well as in up to three additional rooms. If youchange the radio station, CD track, etc., of the shared source, the change affects allrooms sharing this source. However, you cannot change sources for all affected roomsat the same time. The VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, and SLEEP buttons only affect theboxed 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 thedisplay does not represent the actual volume level in all connected rooms. It onlyrepresents the actual volume in rooms represented by a boxed letter.

The room indicators tell you what was selected by theROOM or HOUSE button

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

34 December 20, 2001 AM189858_03_V.pdf


Using the ROOM buttonThe ROOM button allows you to select any connected room and control any sound sourceyou want to hear in that room. Each time you press the ROOM button you can transfercontrol from one room to the next in A-B-C-D order. The room indicators on the display tellyou what is currently selected. Rooms listening to a shared source can be linked and con-trolled as one room.

Turning on different sources in more than one roomLet’s say you have a two-room system (rooms A and B) and the entire system is off. To turnon a different source in each room:

1. Wake up the Personal™ music center.

2. Press the ROOM button until the room indicator is displayed. Press a source button,such as VIDEO 1, to turn on the system and listen to your DVD player in room A. Adjustthe volume to the desired level.

3. Press the ROOM button again. The room indicator is displayed. Press a different sourcebutton, such as CD, to listen to a CD in room B. Again, adjust the volume to the desiredlevel.

4. Press the ROOM button again and notice that the room indicator is displayed. You arecontrolling room A once again and the display indicates that the VIDEO 1 source is on.

Setting up a shared sourceNow, let’s say the system is already on and you want to play the FM radio in rooms A and B:

1. Wake up the Personal music center.

2. Press the ROOM button until the room indicator is displayed. Press the FM sourcebutton and adjust the volume to the desired level for room A.

3. Press the ROOM button again to select room . Press the FM source button and adjustthe volume to the desired level for room B. Now, the indicators A B are displayed.

4. Press the ROOM button again. The indicators A B appear on the display indicating thatyou can control these two rooms together. Any button command given now (SOURCE,VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, SLEEP) is applied to both rooms.

Note: Remember that there are limits to using different sources in different rooms. With onetuner, the system cannot play one radio station in one room and another radio station inanother. Similarly, with one CD changer, the system cannot play two dif ferent CDs at the sametime.

Controlling two or more rooms togetherThere are two ways to gain control of two or more rooms:

• Set up a shared source in two or more rooms and select them together using the ROOMbutton. See “Setting up a shared source” above.

• Control all connected rooms together using the HOUSE button. See “Using the HOUSEbutton” on page 35.

Returning to single-room controlAfter you have gained control of multiple rooms using the ROOM button, you can use theROOM button again to gain control of a single room. Press ROOM until the room you want isdisplayed ( , , , or ). Control that room as desired.

AM189858_03_V.pdf December 20, 2001 35


Using the HOUSE buttonThe HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as if they were one. When you pressthe HOUSE button, an empty box indicator is displayed for each connected room. Any buttonpressed after that (any source button, VOLUME, MUTE, or SLEEP) affects every room. Whenyou are done listening you can press OFF to turn off the entire system.

Note: If you do not press any additional buttons after pressing HOUSE, pressing HOUSEagain cancels HOUSE mode.

Press the HOUSE button before each command to apply that command to all rooms:

Press … To do this …

HOUSE then a source Play the selected source in all connected rooms.

HOUSE then VOLUME / Adjust the volume up or down by the same amount in allrooms that are on, or all connected rooms if they are all off.The system remembers the differences among the originalroom volume settings.

HOUSE then MUTE Silence all connected rooms that are on, even if any werepreviously muted individually. To cancel this command, pressHOUSE then MUTE again. Any rooms that were muted beforethis command was given stay silent until individually unmuted.If you unmute an individual room after it was muted by aHOUSE - MUTE command, the other rooms remain silent untileach one is unmuted individually. Pressing HOUSE thenVOLUME unmutes all muted rooms.

HOUSE then SLEEP Set the SLEEP timer for all rooms that are on. The SLEEP timeselected applies to all rooms that are on even if they areplaying different sources. If the SLEEP timer was already setin one or more rooms, the display shows the longest timealready set. You can accept this time or change it for all therooms. To cancel the HOUSE - SLEEP command, pressHOUSE, SLEEP, CLEAR, and then DONE.

HOUSE then OFF Turn off the entire system.

Note: Instead of setting one sleep time for the entire house, you can set different sleep timesfor individual rooms by using the ROOM button to select each room and setting SLEEP.

When two or more rooms are controlled as one, adjusting the SLEEP time affects all rooms(indicated by boxed letters).

Using more than one Personal™ music centerIf you have a multi-room system, you can add additional music centers in some or all of theconnected rooms. Each multi-room interface can be controlled by a maximum of four musiccenters. Each music center can control up to four rooms.

To add a new music center to your system, follow the setup instructions on page 13. Be sureto install the batteries and turn it on for the first time close to the multi-room interface to allowthe new music center to set up a radio frequency link with your system. If the multi-roominterface is not plugged in or the music center is out of range, the display indicates NORESPONSE.
