Tailoring the sound to your room
The ADAPTiQ
®
audio calibration system ensures that your
Lifestyle
®
system sounds great. Completing the ADAPTiQ
audio calibration system process is the final step of a
basic Lifestyle
®
setup.
If you have already completed the ADAPTiQ audio
calibration system process using the Bose
®
Setup and
Demonstrations DVD please go on to the next section,
“Carton inventory” on page 8.
A special headset, pictured in Figure 3, can be found in
the Essentials kit. The headset, designed to be worn
above your ears, contains two miniature microphones that
take acoustic measurements during calibration.
You will achieve the best results when the listening room
is relatively quiet. Please notify other members of your
household that they will hear a series of audio tones.
On the connection panel of the media center (shown in
Figure 3), plug the ADAPTiQ headset into the AUX
AUDIO IN connectors.

Placing the media center and display
The media center can be placed out of sight behind all of
your other A/V components. When placing the media
center, ensure that it is close enough to other sources (TV,
DVD, VCR, cable or satellite box) to allow for easy cable
connections. Check the length of the audio and video
cables you will use for these additional components.
CAUTION:
Do not block the ventilation openings on either
side of the media center. Allow at least two inches on each side.
Place the display module so it is facing out into the room,
toward the front of the surface on which it rests, as shown
in Figure 7. Allow about two inches of clearance on either
side of the display module. Make sure you can clearly see
the display module from your listening position.
Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories,
including rubber feet, stands, and wall brackets. For more
information, or to purchase accessories, contact your
local Bose
®
dealer or visit www.Bose.com. To contact
Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the
carton.

Placing the cube speakers
When you place your speakers approximately as shown in
Figure 8 on page 11, they provide the audio atmosphere
of a home theater. You can experiment with speaker
placement and orientation to produce the most pleasing
sound.
CAUTION:
Select a stable and level surface for all speakers.
Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth
surfaces such as marble, glass, or highly polished wood. To
reduce the possibility of movement, Bose recommends that you
attach the included rubber speaker feet to the bottom of the
speakers.
Note: If, after running the ADAPTiQ
®
audio calibration
system, you move one or more speakers to a substan-
tially different location, you should re-run the ADAPTiQ
®
audio calibration system.

Placing the center speaker
• Place the center speaker directly above or below the
vertical center of the TV screen or as close to that as
possible (see Figure 8).
• If you are placing the center speaker directly on the
top of your TV, first attach the supplied rubber feet to
the bottom surface of the speaker.

Placing the front left and right speakers
• Set or mount the front left and right speakers upright
and lined up with the horizontal center of the TV
screen.
• We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet
(1 meter) from the edge of your TV screen for
best results.
• Make sure each 20-foot (6.1-meter) speaker
cable can reach from the speaker to the
Acoustimass module.
Placing the rear speakers
• Position the rear left and right speakers in the back
half of your room.
• Make sure each 50-foot (15.2-meter) speaker
cable can reach from the speaker to the
Acoustimass module.
• Place the speakers at ear height or higher if possible.
• Direct the sound away from the listening positions to
maximize the reflected sound.

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
®
system,
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 and 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 the HDMI video resolution
Your Lifestyle
®
system transmits video at a resolution of
720p to your HDTV. Occasionally, you may want to
change to a different resolution. For example, if your
HDTV is capable of displaying a 1080p source signal,
you could change to a 1080p resolution.
The video resolution can only be set when the Lifestyle
®
system is connected to an HDTV through the HDMI
OUT connector. Also, the video resolution cannot be set
lower than that of the video signal entering your
Lifestyle
®
system (no down-conversion). Finally, the
video resolution you set for the HDMI output applies
across all the sources. For example, setting the video
resolution for CBL-SAT also sets that resolution for all
other sources ( DVD, VCR, and AUX).
To change to a lower resolution, do the following:
1. On the Lifestyle
®
remote, press the Settings button

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:
5. While still holding the Mute button on the display,
press any button on the remote control.
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.
Note: To verify your system’s house code, press
the Mute button on the display while the system is off.
The display confirms the settings of switches 1-4.

Setting up a second room with
sound
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 from two different sound sources
(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
®
link network connects all
the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of
consistent quality for use in other rooms.
These include: the Bose
®
link AL8 homewide wireless
audio link, the Wave
®
music system, 3•2•1
®
, 3•2•1 GS,
or 3•2•1 GSX systems, the Lifestyle
®
RoomMate
®
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
®
link remote control for
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 you want it to receive.

• Consider your choices for Switch 5:
Change the switch so the expansion room shares 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).
• Room code switches (6, 7, 8, and 9) must be unique
to each new remote, unless for use in the main room

Aspect ratio – An expression for the width of the pic-
ture relative to the height when seen as a rectangular

Component video – Also called YPbPr, this video sig-
nal is split into three parts: luminance and two color sig-
nals for considerably better resolution than can be
provided by either composite or S-video signals. This
more complex signal also requires the use of compo-
nent connection jacks, which are not available on all

Composite video – The simplest of three types of
video signal, which combines rather than separates
brightness (black and white) and color information. It
provides the lowest resolution of the three, but is com-
patible with the broadest range of televisions and other
