Your Lifestyle 5 music system provides high quality audio for a single listening area.
However, your music center also provides connections (SPEAKERS B) for adding a pair of
powered speakers in a second room. In the second room, you can listen to the sound source
that is playing in the main room.
You can purchase an additional remote control to keep in the second room.
Keep the following considerations in mind if you choose to connect secondary speakers.
Using speakers connected to the B outputs:
• You must use a second remote control, set to B (see instructions below), to turn on the
B speakers.
• Adjusting volume with this second remote adjusts volume for only the B speakers.
• Using the mute key on the second remote mutes or unmutes the second room
speakers.
Using speakers connected to the A and/or FIXED outputs:
• The music center controls operate speakers connected to A and FIXED outputs.
• Adjusting volume from the music center control panel or with the remote control that
came with the system adjusts volume for speakers connected to A and FIXED outputs.
• Using the mute key on the main remote mutes or unmutes speakers connected to A
and FIXED outputs.
Setting a second remote for additional speakers
You need a second remote control, set to B, to operate speakers connected to the
SPEAKERS B outputs. When you purchase a second remote control, it is shipped set to A, to
control your main speakers. It will also control secondary speakers connected to FIXED
outputs.
To set your second remote to control speakers connected to B, follow these steps:
1. Open the remote control battery cover.
2. Locate miniature switch 5. Slide the switch down (Figure 23).
3. Locate miniature switch 6. Slide the switch up (Figure 23).
4. Make sure that the house code switches match those on your first remote (see page 20).
5. Replace the battery cover on the remote control.
Note: Switches 7 and 8 are not for current system use.
