Thank you for your purchase of a Bose® L1FESTYLE® DVD home entertainment system. It will
serve as the center of your home theater, providing superior audio performance for music and
movies. There are four different systems, the L1FESTYLE® 18 Series II, L1FESTYLE® 28
Series 11, L1FESTYLE® 38, and the L1FESTYLE® 48 systems. All include multiple room connec-
tions, most include the AdaptiQ® audio calibration system, and the L1FESTYLE® 38, and
L1FESTYLE® 48 systems have the uMusic® intelligent playback system.
This book shows you:
• The components included with your system and how to set the system up. The pictures on
the next two pages will help you become familiar with each part of your system.
First you will set up the audio portion of the system. You will find the best locations for your
media center, cube speakers, and Acoustimass® module. You will identify and connect the
cables that are specific to each part of the system, the AM and FM antennas, and the
power cords.
• How to make a basic connection between your L1FESTYLE® system and your television,
which will allow you to see the on-screen menus.
Your Operating Guide offers information on other aspects of the use of your system.
• How to power up the system and optimize its sound for the component placement you
have selected in your room.
• How to connect other pieces of equipment, such as VCRs, cable or satellite boxes, DVD
changers, game consoles, and recording equipment, to make an even more versatile home
theater system.
The instructions in this section help you connect your system in your main room. However, if
you wish to extend your system's sound to other rooms, read the special considerations in
"Expanding your system to other rooms" on page 32 before you make any connections.
