ence if you get stuck. Suggestions on how you can proceed follow.

For a step-by-step approach

• Begin by identifying the parts of your system, using the illustrations on the next two pages.
• Consider the guidelines on placement to determine the best locations for your media
center, cube speakers, and Acoustimass
• Using the supplied cables, follow the basic procedures and diagrams as you connect all the
system parts, including the AM and FM antennas and power cords, beginning on page 12.

For reference only, as needed

• Confirm that the basic connection between your LIFESTYLE
allows you to see on-screen system menus.
Note: Basic setup is required for you to use the supplied Setup Disc 1 and to run the ADAPTiQ
calibration process to adjust the sound so it suits your room layout and furnishings.
• Scan our recommended approach on page 20 to power up the system and test for optimal
sound in your room.
• Check the detailed overview of how to connect other equipment to extend the versatility of
the system in "Connecting other components to the system" on page 27. Some possibili-
ties include:
