REFERENCE
Enjoying your system in other rooms
Your media center connection panel provides two audio output jacks
identified by the label "Speakers."
• Main, the top one, sends audio to the speakers connected to the media
center in the main room.
- Bose® link, located just below Main, connects a cable that carries the
sound to other speakers in other rooms.
BoseLink
By using the Bose link option, you can add a variety of other Bose systems, speakers, and
amplifiers (some designed specifically for this use) in up to 15 rooms total. Much more than
simply extending the reach of your system, however, it adds another level of choice. From
this one system, you can play two different sources in different areas of your house at the
same time, indoors and out.
For this purpose, Bose offers you the AL8 homewide wireless audio link or two types of
cables that connect to the Bose link jack:
- Bose link A cable, which is designed for use with a LIFESTYLE® SA-2 or SA-3 amplifier for
passive Bose speakers (and included in the carton with either amplifier).
- Bose link B cable, designed for adding other Bose link-compatible systems and to be
purchased at the same time. Your choice of systems includes:
- Wave® music system
- 3_2·1™ Series II, 3-2-1 GS Series II, or 3-2-1 GSX system
- LIFESTYLE® RoomMate® speakers
In addition to the above specialized cables, our Bose link-compatible product line includes:
- Remote controls for use outside the main room where your LIFESTYLE® system is installed
• Expansion/extension cables for long runs into other rooms or adding multiple other rooms
- Cable adapters that may be required by your particular product for this purpose
Adding other products
Besides having the Bose link-compatible product line to choose from, you may prefer to
use a Bose product you already own with your LIFESTYLE® system. Products that pre-date
Bose link product engineering are referred to as legacy products and require special consid-
eration when added to the product mix.
To
adapt
a
legacy product:
The tips below apply to products that pre-date Bose link-compatible products:
- Powered Acoustimass® 5 or Acoustimass 20 speakers require a variable DIN adapter
(Bose PN278894-103)
- Model SA-1 LIFESTYLE® stereo amplifier, for use with passive Bose speakers, restricts to
one pair the number of speakers you can add
- Any Wave® radio or other legacy Bose system (a 3-2-1 Series I system, for example)
requires use of a variable DIN adapter (Bose PN278894-103)
For a Bose remote control to work with the above products, you must set its Room Code to
o.

Note: For information on setting
a
Room Code for the RC 18S remote control or the PERSONAL
®
music center II, refer to the owner's guide for the accessory.
