SYSTEM SETUP

Welcome

Thank you for choosing a Bose® LIFESTYLE® system for your home. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your new system. There are two phases to the setup process:

Physical setup phase: Placing the system components and connecting them together.

Interactive setup phase: Completing your setup following the interactive steps on your TV screen provided by the UNIFY® intelligent integration system.

Unpacking

The parts of your new system are packaged in four numbered kits plus a small box containing the appropriate power cords:

1 Control console kit
2 Acoustimass® module kit
3 Speaker kit
4 Interactive kit
Power cord kit (used with kits 1 and 2)

Starting with Kit 1, unpack each kit and set up its contents before unpacking the next one.

Be sure to save all of the packing materials. These provide the safest means for any necessary shipping or transporting.

If any part appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer immediately. For Bose contact information, refer to the address sheet included in Kit 4.

Control console kit

2. Plug one end of the HDMI™ cable into an HDMI INPUT connector on your TV.

If an HDMI cable is already connected to an HDMI input on your TV, you can use this one. Just disconnect the other end.

3. Plug the other end of the HDMI cable you are using into the connector labeled HDMI OUT Video to TV on the control console.

4. Plug one end of the audio input cable into the Audio OUT connector on the control console.

Make sure the flat surface with the arrow on the plug faces up.

Leave the other end of the cable on the floor. You will be asked to connect it while setting up the next kit.

Remove a power cord from the power cord kit.

6. Plug one end of the power cord into the power supply.

7. Make sure you push the plug in as far as it can go.

8. Plug the other end of the power cord into a live AC (mains) power outlet.

Speaker kit

What you need for the following steps:

From Kit 3: System speakers (one set of the three types shown)

Jewel Cube® speakers

(1) Center front speaker

(4) Left or right, front or rear speaker

Virtually Invisible® single cube speakers

Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays

(1) Center front speaker

(4) Left or right, front or rear speaker

Front speaker cables **Rear speaker cables**

Light green Purple

Brown

Note: You can place system speakers on wall brackets or floor stands. To purchase these accessories, contact your local Bose dealer or visit www.Bose.com.

Place the center front speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or below the center of your TV screen as in the following example.

2. Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV.

Keep each speaker within 3 ft (1 m) of the TV screen to prevent too much separa-tion of the sound from the picture. Vary this distance to suit your room conditions and personal preference.

If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the front edge of the shelf.

If you have Jewel Cube® or Direct/Reflecting® cube speakers, rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.

3. Place the rear speakers toward the back of the room behind the viewers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.

Make sure the 50 ft (15.2 m) rear speaker cables will reach from the speakers to the Acoustimass® module.

Aim the speakers away from the listeners to prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source.

If you have Jewel Cube® or Direct/Reflecting® cube speakers, rotate the cubes so that one cube of each speaker points forward into the room and the other points at a side wall to create reflected sound.

4. Locate the colored connectors on the bottom panel of the Acoustimass module.

5. Plug the speaker cables into the Acoustimass module connectors. Be sure to match each cable plug to each connector by the color code.

6. Locate the speaker position markings on the free ends of the speaker cables.

7. Using the speaker position markings, run each cable out to its respective speaker as in the following setup example of a room.

8. Connect the speaker cable to the type of speaker you have. Jewel Cube ® speakers: Insert the plug into the speaker connector.| Direct/Reflecting ® and Virtually Invisible ® single cube speakers: Press the button and insert the wires. Connect the
---|---

red-collared wire to the red connector. Connect the other wire to the black connector.

9. Put the Acoustimass® module in its final position:

Upright (BEST) or on either side (ALTERNATE).

With the front opening facing into the room.

At least 18 in (45 cm) from any TV to avoid magnetic interference with the TV image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference.

CAUTION: Do not put electronic media, such as video or audio tapes, on or next to the module for long periods of time. The magnetic field surrounding the module may erase some or all of the recorded material.

Interactive kit

Congratulations! At this point you have set up the control console, the Acoustimass® module, and the speakers. You are now ready to turn on your system and enter the interactive phase of the setup process using the UNIFY® intelligent integration system.

IMPORTANT!

Before you start, make sure your speakers and Acoustimass module are in their final positions.
Do not connect any devices to the control console at this time. The instructions provided on your TV will tell you when to do this.

Slide the battery compartment cover off the back of the remote control.

2. Install four AA (IEC LR6) batteries, matching the polarity markings (+ and –) to the markings inside the battery compartment.

3. Slide the battery cover back into place.

4. Press the power button on the control console to turn on your system.

Because the system is in a low power state when in standby, it takes several seconds to start. When the power light changes from blinking to steady green, your system is ready to use.

5. Turn on your TV.

6. Using the remote that came with your TV, change the TV input to the one that is connected to your LIFESTYLE® system.

7. Follow the instructions on your TV screen. You will be prompted to do the following:

Select your language.
Optimize the audio from your system using the ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system.
Connect audio/video devices to the control console.

Configure your Bose® remote to control your connected devices.

Other Kit 4 items

The remaining items in Kit 4 may or may not be required to set up your LIFESTYLE® system. For more information on using these accessories or adding other devices to your system at another time, see the operating guide.

*For LIFESTYLE® V25 and V35 systems only.

Applying rubber feet

When placing the Acoustimass® module on bare floors, you can attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the module for greater stability and to protect your floor.

Rubber feet for Acoustimass module

Bottom panel

Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly if placed on a smooth surface like glass or highly polished wood. If you are placing the center speaker on such a surface, you can attach the included rubber feet to the bottom of the speaker for greater stability.
