Using The System With External Components - Bose Lifestyle 20 Owner's Manual

Using the system with external components

Follow the instructions on page 8 for connecting a component.
Turn on your component directly or by using its remote control. Use the VOLUME
®
key on the Lifestyle remote control or music center to raise or lower the volume. Control all
other functions at the source, referring to its owner's manual, if necessary. To begin, make
sure the component is turned on and a tape, CD, laserdisc, etc. is loaded.
®
Note: The Lifestyle 20 music system cannot turn a connected component on or off.
Turning the system on and selecting the component
Press the TAPE, AUX, VIDEO 1, or VIDEO 2 key on the remote or press SOURCE SELECT

selected.
Using a video sound source
Press VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 on the remote or SOURCE SELECT on the music center until
VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 appears on the display. This turns your music system on and selects
the video sound source connected to the VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 jacks. If the music system is
already on, this key selects the component.
If your video component is connected to the music center AUX or TAPE jacks, press AUX or
TAPE on the remote or use SOURCE SELECT on the music center to select the component.
Using a tape deck

want to tape. In a 2-zone system, play the source in zone 1. Set the tape deck to record.
Using headphones
For headphone listening, use the stereo mini headphones jack on the right side of the music
center (Figure 23). While this jack accepts most headphone models, you can get an adapter
®
at Bose dealers and most electronics stores, if needed.
