Using two listening zones

®
The Lifestyle 25 system can direct sound from one or two sound sources to two different
listening areas at the same time. Each listening area, whether a room or a group of rooms
(including outdoor areas), is referred to as a zone. By adding powered speakers and a
second remote, you can establish two listening zones.
How zones work
• Zones 1 and 2 can play different sound sources at the same time – CD, AM/FM tuner,
TAPE, VIDEO sound, or AUX.
• Both zones can listen to the same sound source at the same time.
• Only one radio station can be played at a time.
Setting up two zones
®
• The Lifestyle 25 speakers are set up in zone 1.
• Any combination of rooms and floors in your home can be set up as zones.
• Use an appropriate Lifestyle
speaker system to the SPEAKER ZONE 2 jack on the back of the music center.
• You can also use special adapters to connect an existing stereo system.
®
• Use a second Lifestyle
See your dealer or contact Bose for information on obtaining additional powered speakers,
remote controls, cables, and adapters for connecting additional equipment.
Setting a second remote for zone 2
You need a second remote control, set to ZONE 2, to operate speakers connected to the
ZONE 2 output.
To set your second remote to control speakers in the second zone, follow these steps:
1. Open the remote control battery cover.
2. Locate miniature switch 8 (Figure 31). If it is set down for ZONE 1, slide it up for ZONE
2, using a paper clip, ballpoint pen, or similar object.
3. Make sure the house code switches (1, 2, 3, and 4) match those on your first remote.
(See page 25 for more information on house codes.)
4. Replace the battery cover.
