Bose ®Link: The Key To Assured Compatibility - Bose LIFESTYLE 18 series II Operating Manual

Bose ®link: the key to assured compatibility
One option is using a Bose product you already own, if you want the sound in just one addi-
tional room.
As a second option that can provide sound throughout your home (or even outside!), the
Bose ®link network connects all the pieces and offers a variety of Bose products of consistent
quality for use in the other rooms.
These include smaller Bose systems, powered and unpowered speakers and amplifiers,
plus the proper cables and adapters to complete your sound network. And by purchasing a
Bose ® link remote control for each additional room, managing your whole-house music
system becomes quick and easy. Inside these remotes, one small switch allows you to
predetermine which rooms, as a group, will share the main room program stream and which
other room or group of rooms will hear the alternate stream.
For more versatility, you may prefer using a PERSONAL ®music center II remote control in
your other rooms. Besides providing the ability to switch between program streams without
setting switches, this advanced remote provides an LCD screen that shows you what is play-
ing on both steams. So it is very easy to choose one or the other whenever you like.
Regardless of which type you choose, with any Bose ® link remote control you also get
detailed instructions on using the network. And a Bose ®link symbol on the cartons (for the
products mentioned above) helps simplify your selections.
For more information on your choices, or to purchase additional equipment, contact your
local Bose dealer. Or, to reach Bose directly, refer to the address list included with
the system.
Bose ®link remote switch settings
These settings are for use only with remote
controls that have switches inside the bat-
tery compartment.*
Make sure the house code switches
(1,2, 3, and 4) match those on your main
remote.
For switch 5, determine if you want the
room grouped with the main room (A), so it
receives the same program heard there.
• If you do not change switch 5, the room
will receive the same program stream as
is heard in the main room (A).
K
• If you set switch 5 up (), the room will
receive a different stream than the main
room (A).
*For the PERSONAL ® music center II remote control, the settings above are made in a menu
on the display screen.
